IGD’s MK8 Pellistor provides the perfect solution for reliable and accurate gas detection in the rapidly growing hydrogen economy. Hydrogen is being touted as a key alternative fuel source in the world's move towards a greener future. However, hydrogen gas is highly dangerous with a flammability level of just 4% in an environment, making it essential to have robust gas detection systems in place to ensure leaks are caught early and personnel are kept safe.
The MK8 Pellistor offers the most poison resistance available on the market in any pellistor, making it the ideal hydrogen solution. Additionally, the MK8 operates perfectly over a large temperature range and is unaffected by humidity, making it suitable for use in applications where temperature and weather conditions can vary.
The MK8 can be fitted into any IGD gas detector, including the 750X and 903-X5. The 750X offers ATEX-rated gas detection for zones 1 and 2 and zones 21 and 22 areas, and seamless non-intrusive calibration for easy checks in any area. Moreover, the 903-X5 offers all of these benefits with dual sensor capability, allowing for 2 sensor detection for added peace of mind.
