Commercially available Hydrogen Detection Systems for Corrosive, Oxygen-free Gas Streams: A Technical Summary
The growing use of hydrogen gas across energy, transportation, and chemical applications necessitates better hydrogen sensors and detectors. Few sensors exist for quantifying hydrogen gas in a corrosive, oxygen-free gas stream due to the challenging nature of the sampling environment and current technological status. Handheld, economic options include palladium-based, metal oxide, catalytic bead, and electrochemical sensors. More permanent and costly options include electrochemical sensors, thermal gas analyzers, mass spectrometers, gas chromatographs, and Raman spectrometers. In this technical report, a short review of current technology, along with the associated commercially available products, is provided. Raman spectroscopy is recommended as an ideal technology for on-line detection of hydrogen at low concentrations in a corrosive, oxygen-free gas stream.
