In just the last 10 years, the hydrogen industry has developed hundreds of new safety standards, and they continue to grow in number and complexity. However, application-specific standards and safety guidelines do not yet exist in many situations.
Without proper risk analysis and safety measures, the potential for leaks, component rupture, contamination, or even a combustion event may exist. Today, industry faces a pressing need for a more comprehensive approach to analysing the risk of hydrogen fires and explosions.
To meet this demand, a team of specialised engineers and scientists at WHA International, Inc. has recently updated its in-depth Hydrogen Combustion Risk Analysis (HCRA) method. “Because of WHA’s background in failure analysis and practice with a variety of hydrogen systems, we have seen the consequences of hydrogen combustion incidents across multiple industries,” says Dr. Harold Beeson, Principal Chemist and Forensic Scientist at WHA.
