H2scan’s HY-OPTIMA™ 2700-Series
Green Hydrogen Needs Real-Time Measurement
Decarbonizing the energy sector is a mega trend with significant momentum behind it. Hydrogen is an important component of this effort that will grow more important as higher quantities of “renewable hydrogen” are produced. One common method is to use wind turbines and other renewable methods to power electrolyzers that can produce large amounts of hydrogen cleanly. This process needs to be monitored in real time for safety.
Current leading monitoring systems include thermal conductivity devices (TCD) or gas chromatographs, but these are not in real time and their accuracy is challenged in a complex gas stream. H2scan’s HY-OPTIMA™ 2700-series hydrogen specific analyzers overcome these challenges and deliver accurate, real-time results.
This real-time inline process measurement can also be installed at the end-use location, such as at homes or industrial facilities. H2scan analyzers can be combined with, or installed in, smart meters, to help measure the amount of hydrogen present for accurate billing as well as for managing burners to account for the amount of hydrogen present in the natural gas stream. H2scan safety monitors can also be used to protect homes and businesses by detecting leaks before they reach flammable levels.
Industry Pioneer and Leader Alan Ross Is First Guest for H2scan Podcast
We’ve launched the first episode of the H2scan podcast with one of the biggest names in the electric reliability field – Alan Ross. Alan is the founder and president of the Electric Power Reliability Alliance (EPRA). Alan talks with H2scan’s Jeremy Reid about transformer gas testing, single vs multi-gas monitoring, trends in distribution transformer monitoring and more. Click here for the full episode.
ICYMI: See H2scan’s Dennis Reid in Smart Sensors Webinar
H2scan CEO/Founder Dennis Reid joined an expert panel on a webinar to discuss “Smart Sensors and their Role in the Digitalization of Energy and Industry.” The virtual panel was hosted by Andrew Bright of Woodside Capital Partners and gave Dennis and the rest of the panel of experts the opportunity to share their insights and perspectives on the future of the technology and industry. While the live event is over, the recorded version is available.

• H2 is Job Creator
As if reducing greenhouse gases wasn’t enough, now a report out of the UK says that the hydrogen industry is a tremendous job creator. Hydrogen production in the country could generate £18bn for the UK economy and support more than 75,000 jobs over the next 15 years, according to the Hydrogen Taskforce, which is backed by companies like of Shell and BP.

• Press Coverage
From H2view.com on July 30: “Californian hydrogen sensors and technologies company H2scan has said it is increasing the availability of its hydrogen sensor package, the Gen5 System. H2scan today said it is increasing the production capacity of the system to accommodate the increased demand worldwide as utilities choose real-time monitoring due to the decreased availability of personnel taking DGA samples due to coronavirus. The Gen5 System is based on H2scan’s application specific integrated circuit technology that makes it small enough and cost effective enough to be used for distribution transformers. The system enables real-time hydrogen monitoring for reduced explosion and catastrophic risk and is well suited for use in distribution transformer applications. Keep reading.
