Episode notes
In this fifth episode of the Technical Debrief series from The 1895 Podcast, we turn our attention to hydrogen safety and the technologies helping operators detect fires in an evolving energy landscape.
Stephen Harrison speaks with Régis Prévost, of Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection about the latest advances in flame detection technology.
The discussion covers the evolution from traditional UV/IR detectors to triple infrared systems, the challenges of detecting hydrogen and ammonia flames, and how new algorithms are enabling operators to identify fires involving both conventional hydrocarbons and emerging energy carriers.
