Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection to put hydrogen detection solutions in the spotlight at trio of forthcoming events
Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) is making its final preparations for a trio of forthcoming
energy sector events taking place in Europe and Asia. Visitors to the Teledyne GFD booth at All Energy 2025 (Glasgow, UK, 14-15 May), World Hydrogen Summit 2025 (Rotterdam, Netherlands, 20-22 May) and
World Gas Congress 2025 (Beijing, China, 19-23 May) 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 and conference is the UK's largest low-carbon energy and renewables event, with hydrogen among key focus areas regarding both grid integration and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Hydrogen is produced in BESS systems during the charging and discharging process of the batteries, or if a fault occurs that leads to thermal runaway. Once initiated, thermal runaway will likely result in a fire, but with the right detection technology it is possible to contain the consequences.
On stand B39, Teledyne GFD, which has its UK manufacturing facility just 8 km west of Glasgow in Renfrew, 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 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, where visitors will find Teledyne GFD at booth A93. In fact, such is Teledyne GFD's expertise in the hydrogen arena that it has been invited to deliver a presentation at the event entitled 'Regulatory Framework and Compliance along the Hydrogen Value Chain'.
At World Gas Congress, a flagship gas and energy industry event staged once every three years, 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 (American Gas Association) 2025 on May 4-8 in Aurora, Colorado; and OTC (Offshore Technology Conference) 2025 on May 5-8 in Houston, Texas.
