At Hobré we are committed to serve our customers in achieving their goals for sustainable development. Our product portfolio has already solutions for a range of analytical challenges related to emission reduction, hydrogen, biogas, metal recycling, biofuels from waste etc.
Green hydrogen produced from solar and wind energy is increasingly mixed into natural gas grids, typical levels being up to a few percent at this moment. Projects are running that demonstrate the feasibility of bringing the hydrogen content in local gas grids up to 15% by volume. For feedforward control of gas turbines and furnaces the hydrogen content can be up to 100% and may fluctuate rapidly. The presence of hydrogen in natural gas introduces several challenges for which Hobré offers the right solution, for example:
- Our new PRISM Raman analyser which offers an online, zero emissions measurement of natural gas compositions, including 0-100% H2, within seconds.
- The WIM Compas on-line calorimeter can handle any mix of hydrogen (up to 100% hydrogen) and natural gas. As a result, the fast WIM Compas is a tremendous tool for feed forward control of gas turbines and furnaces that are fired on natural gas/hydrogen mixtures.
- Participation in the Green Transport Delta Hydrogen Project to develop an online analyser to measure hydrogen purity for e.g. fuel cell applications
