Hydrogen detection solutions take centre stage in forthcoming events

Visitors to the Teledyne GFD booth at All Energy 2025, World Hydrogen Summit 2025 and World Gas Congress 2025, will learn for themselves the advantages of tapping into sector knowledge and solutions that stem from decades of empowering safety in all forms of power generation. Key for these events will be Teledyne GFD’s hydrogen detection expertise and technologies. 

The All-Energy exhibition is the UK’s largest low-carbon and renewables event, with hydrogen a key focus - especially in grid integration and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Hydrogen can be released during battery cycling or thermal runaway, which may lead to fire. With the right detection technology, risks can be managed. On stand B39, Teledyne GFD will be shining the spotlight on four key technologies.

The recently introduced Spyglass™ Xtend triple-infrared flame detector offers the simultaneous detection of both hydrogen and hydrocarbon fires. It boosts safety in environments where hydrogen flames can spread to co-located systems or nearby equipment and start fires involving hydrocarbon fuels that are invisible to a hydrogen-only detector. Integrated high-definition CCTV video delivers clear, rapid imaging of fuel fires like gasoline and jet fuel, while the near-IR video option detects fires caused by hydrogen and methanol, making it ideal for BESS applications. Five selectable sensitivity levels are available. 

Other instruments of note at All Energy 2025 will include the tried and tested GD10P infrared (IR) gas detector, as well as the GS700-Hydrogen, a high-performance and highly flexible all-in-one instrument that is able to detect both hydrogen and natural gas in utility grid integration projects. Whether it is 100% hydrogen, hydrogen blends or natural gas, the portable GS700-Hydrogen simplifies gas detection in applications that include outdoor/indoor leak detection, purging, barholing and pipeline gas testing. Providing both safety and peace of mind, the fully ATEX-certified instrument means utilities can quickly determine the source of gas leaks, saving valuable time and reducing detection-related costs such as unnecessary excavations. Also on show will be Teledyne GDCloud™, a user-friendly new cloud solution which enhances gas 1/3 detection measurement by recording hazardous events. Users can take advantage of this technology to help ensure regulatory adherence and streamline safety programmes. Among Teledyne GDCloud’s most powerful capabilities is visualising detailed gas sensor readings from field sessions. Users can trace the route that a technician takes during investigations via advanced location mapping functionality. This capability enables breadcrumb mapping to identify the exact locations that correspond to gas readings logged by the detector. Users can also interact with dynamic charts and tabulated data displays to reveal further insights into field activity and events. 

The same four technologies will also take centre stage at the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 on Teledyne GFD booth A93, where Teledyne GFD have been invited to deliver a presentation titled: ‘Regulatory Framework and Compliance along the Hydrogen Value Chain’. 

At World Gas Congress, Teledyne GFD will again present these technologies to visitors from booth Z12 in hall D. A team of local experts will be present to discuss current and/or future gas detection challenges. 

Further reflecting its strong global presence, Teledyne GFD will also take booths at two events in the United States during May: AGA 2025 on May 4-8 in Aurora, Colorado; and OTC 2025 on May 5-8 in Houston, Texas.
