#5 - Hyfindr Tech Talks - Hydrogen Gas & Flame Detectors | Claudio Fecarotta - MSA Safety

How can hydrogen leaks and invisible flames be detected safely and reliably?

In this episode of Hyfindr Tech Talks, Claudio Fecarotta (MSA Safety) joins Steven Oji (Hyfindr) to explain the latest hydrogen sensor technologies. From ultrasonic leak detection and catalytic sensors to advanced flame detectors, Claudio shows how multiple layers of sensing technology protect hydrogen refueling stations, vehicles, and infrastructure.

You’ll learn about:

• Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detectors (UGLD) and their coverage in hydrogen stations

• Conventional catalytic and electrochemical hydrogen gas sensors (up to 1000 ppm)

• Hydrogen flame detectors using UV/IR technology for invisible flames

• How AI (artificial neural networks) reduce false alarms in leak detection

• Safety regulations (ISO 19880) and required instrumentation for hydrogen sites

Engineers, safety specialists, and hydrogen innovators will gain insights into how these detectors form a comprehensive protection system for the growing hydrogen economy.
