"Our proprietary technology, which provides real-time monitoring of hydrogen contained in process gas, is leading edge technology. We are very pleased to collaborate with Air Products on developing new product applications, and to gain valuable field information from Air Products' decades of hydrogen plant operating knowledge and market expertise," said Dennis Reid, president and chief executive officer of H2scan.

In the collaborative work, Air Products will provide practical experience related to solid-state sensors, hydrogen production process conditions, and the process stream molecular compositions to quantify the amount of hydrogen during actual production operations. This knowledge will benefit process control strategies and final product certification. Air Products also will bring to the table commercial information related to solid-state sensors, sensor integration, and the processes used in the hydrogen production marketplace. H2scan will provide technical and commercial information related to chemical sensor design, including electro-chemical matrices, development and the manufacturing process of the Robust Hydrogen Sensor(TM), as well as successive generations of sensors in its product line.

Air Products is an industry leader in hydrogen safety and engineering, and a global leader in hydrogen production and distribution.
