2025 Center for Hydrogen Safety Asia-Pacific Conference
Hydrogen Safety - Compliance to Commitment
Author
Hydrogen is an elusive gas with many unique characteristics making it challenging to manage. For starters hydrogen is 14 times lighter than air, has a large flammability range, ordorless, burns with an invisible flame and can self ignite due to its low ignition energy. A variety of processes, tools and technologies can be deployed to safely detect and manage hydrogen in the value chain.
Due to vast project execution experience in this field, we understand that every site is unique and poses various challenges and having the right subject matter experts involved early on in the design phase is critical to close the safety gaps. This presentation/paper will discuss the hierarchy of control for hydrogen and the technologies that can be deployed to safely manage hydrogen in the value chain. It will also contain lessons learned and the do's and don'ts based on real case studies.
