Hydrogen Monitoring: Achieving Integrated Safety with the new MAK sensors

Hydrogen is regarded as the future of clean energy, but its use requires high safety standards. As a highly flammable, odourless gas with an extremely high dispersion rate, constant monitoring is not only an operational necessity but also a critical requirement for every infrastructure, from electrolyzers to refuelling stations. In this scenario, traditional detection technologies, such as pellistors and electrochemical cells,...

Understanding ATEX Directives: Workplace and Equipment Safety Standards

What does ATEX stand for? The term ATEX is derived from the French title of the 94/9/EC directive: Appareils destinés à être utilisés en ATmosphères EXplosibles. It encompasses two European Directives that establish minimum safety requirements for equipment and workplaces within explosive atmospheres.   What are the two primary ATEX Directives? ATEX legislation is divided into two specific areas of responsibility:   Directive 1999/92/EC (Workplace Directive):...

CATALYTIC BEAD SENSORS – POISONS AND INHIBITORS

A Pellistor, or catalytic bead sensor, monitors the presence of a combustible gas or vapor in air (or atmospheres containing oxygen) up to the Lower Flammable Limit (LFL). A Pellistor operates on the principle that when a combustible gas/air mixture is in contact with the catalyst surface, maintained at about 500°C as current is passed through it in a Platinum...
