Hydrogen Detection

In 2023, BakerRisk published a series of white papers on hydrogen safety, reviewing diverse perspectives on managing hazards and associated risks due to the presence of hydrogen, and utilizing various tools, techniques, and analyses. As hydrogen continues to emerge and re-emerge as a key technology and economy player, it is essential to understand how to effectively control hydrogen associated hazards and risks to minimize impacts on both people and assets. The first paper in this updated series covers the concept of hydrogen safety from the facility siting perspective.

• White Papers

In previous articles in this series, BakerRisk discussed the hydrogen economy and high-level hazards. Additionally, best practices and general guidance for performing a PHA on hydrogen processing facilities to accurately assess all the risks and consequences associated with hydrogen were also covered. This article will focus on the materials and potential damage mechanisms and hazards associated with the operation of equipment exposed to hydrogen, including pressure vessels, pipelines, piping, and other equipment handling hydrogen.

Test programs, such as those discussed above, have provided significant validation of the current methodologies used to analyze hydrogen hazards. Despite the enormous amount of work done by BakerRisk, the ERC, and others to understand the hazards associated with hydrogen, there is still more work to be done.
