Hydrogen is a key component of many industrial processes, ranging from energy generation to chemical manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, and others. In all these applications, hydrogen must be detected, analyzed and measured quickly and accurately to improve process efficiency or avoid safety issues or equipment faults. Our solid-state sensors offer industry-leading accuracy, free from cross-sensitivity to other gases and ensure reliable performance even in demanding process conditions.
Enhanced Safety Through Detection
Hydrogen’s wide flammability range (4-75% in air), and the low amount of energy required for its ignition demands vigilant monitoring to prevent dangerous conditions in industrial settings. H2scan’s safety systems detect hydrogen well below dangerous levels, providing early warning for leak mitigation.
- Our HY-ALERTA® safety monitors offer configurable alarm thresholds and rapid response times, ensuring maximum safety for personnel and facilities. The solid-state sensing technology eliminates false alarms from other gases, providing trustworthy detection that integrates seamlessly with existing safety infrastructure.
- H2scan HY-OPTIMA® process monitors can detect and measure hydrogen in process gas streams. These analyzers are used in process controls to detect equipment faults that generate hydrogen.
Process Optimization Through Precision Measurement
H2scan’s analyzers not only enhance safety but also enable advanced process control through continuous, accurate hydrogen measurement. Our technology helps facilities optimize hydrogen usage, reduce energy consumption and extend catalyst life through precise monitoring of critical process parameters.

July 8, 2025
You’ve been told you need a Battery Management System (BMS) for lithium-ion batteries — maybe for a new battery installation, an energy storage project or to meet evolving safety standards. The BMS acts as the brains of the battery system: to monitor performance, keep charging and discharging within safe limits and shut things down when needed.
