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.
H2scan HY-ALERTA® area monitors improve safety by detecting the hydrogen levels in enclosed spaces to ensure that hydrogen leaks don’t build up to an explosive level and can trigger alarms or engage ventilation systems in the event of a high hydrogen concentrations.
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 and trigger alarms so that these processes can be inspected.
Intrinsically Safe (IS) Certification: A Critical Feature or a Strategic Benefit? Or Both?
The expanding hydrogen marketplace certainly is growing rapidly. Still, providers must be careful to ensure growth isn’t coming at the expense of safety and efficiency.
