What is Hydrogen?

Hydrogen is a chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. It is the lightest element in the periodic table and the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, primarily found in stars and gas giant planets. Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless, nonmetallic, tasteless, and highly flammable diatomic gas at standard conditions. In its molecular form (H2), hydrogen is used in various industrial processes, such as hydrogenation of fats and oils, and has potential applications in energy storage and as a clean fuel source due to its high energy content and zero-emission combustion into water.

 

Monitoring Hydrogen in Water

Monitoring hydrogen concentration in water is a critical process, especially in the context of green hydrogen production and environmental research. The presence and measurement of dissolved hydrogen can provide valuable insights into various chemical and biological processes. For instance, in green hydrogen production via electrolysis, ensuring the purity of water is paramount as it directly affects the efficiency and lifespan of electrolysers.

To achieve this, incorporating a hydrogen analyser into the monitoring system is vital, as it precisely measures the dissolved hydrogen levels, ensuring the water’s purity and optimising the efficiency of production processes.
