Servomex, H2scan partner to develop measurement, analytical solutions

Servomex has joined forces with H2scan to provide complete light hydrocarbon measurement and analytical solutions to hydrocarbon processing and natural gas customers, the companies confirmed on Friday.

The new partnership completes Servomex’s end-to-end offering for a multi-component light hydrocarbon analyzer and GC alternative the SERVOTOUGH SpectraScan by providing a robust and reliable measurement of hydrogen in hydrocarbon gases, using a unique alternative technology to traditional thermal conductivity sensors.

H2scan’s hydrogen-specific sensing system is uniquely able to detect hydrogen against virtually any background gases without false readings or expensive support equipment required.

“Unlike thermal conductivity sensors, the H2scan does not require significant application development for each mix of hydrocarbon gases, yet it exceeds industry standards," said Rhys Jenkins, market sector manager at Servomex.

"The combination of the two new and innovative technologies in the H2scan and SpectraScan is a head on challenge to traditional GC industry options for hydrocarbon sensing," he continued. "The result is superior, yet simpler detection for HP and NG applications at considerably lower implementation and product lifetime costs for our customers.”

The H2scan patented “Chip on a flex” technology provides a more robust and reliable direct measurement of hydrogen than any thermal conductivity sensor, making it a natural collaborative partner for the SpectraScan “Tunable Filter Spectroscopy” optical sensor, according to company officials.

As an out-of-the box solution, the H2scan is configurable alongside the SpectraScan and comes with customer support.

“Our hydrogen specific sensing systems based on a patented 'Chip on a flex' technology have the ability to operate in real-time," said Michael Nofal, vice president of sales and business development at H2scan. 

"This is important for the SERVOTOUGH SpectraScan, which also operates in real time, unlike GC technologies which have a time lag," he continued.

"We also bring a host of benefits in terms of the lowest total cost of ownership, low maintenance and longer calibration intervals, simple system integration and installation and tolerance to harsh background contaminants.”
