Competitor Analysis of Hydrogen Sensing Systems

The demand for hydrogen is likely to grow as it could potentially be a suitable alternative for fossil fuels. Hydrogen is used extensively for a variety of purposes in major industries, such as refineries for hydro- desulphurization and hydrocracking operations. In ammonia production it reacts with nitrogen to produce ammonia, in metallic ore reduction, hydrogen is commercially used to procure tungsten from its ore, and various other applications. Hydrogen being a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, which is flammable, can’t be identified or recognized by the human senses, and needs to be detected by other means so that one could quantify its concentration if present. There is a need to estimate and determine the concentration of hydrogen so that it can help prevent any potential hazards. This article gives an insight on all the hydrogen sensors that are available in the market, a comparison between all the different hydrogen sensors with different attributes, such as stability, sensitivity, response time, etc., and the different manufacturers who produce this sensor.
