Safety & engineering
Safety is designed in, not added on.
HydroHub™ makes gas only while the boiler runs and holds no bulk inventory. Every installation is designed through formal hazard studies.
Design principles
How the hazard is controlled.
No bulk storage
Gas is generated on demand and consumed immediately. Generation runs only while the boiler runs.
Flashback protection
Flashback arrestors and non-return valves on the gas line.
Gas detection
Hydrogen gas detection in the generator area, linked to shutdown.
Ventilation & area classification
Ventilation and electrical area classification to local codes.
Interlocks
Interlocks are safety controls.
- FD fan / combustion air status
- Flame status
- Gas detection
- Automatic shutdown on any trip
The interlocks exist to stop gas flow safely. They are safety controls, not a performance control loop: oxyhydrogen production is not modulated from steam flow.
Studies
HAZOP and SIL/LOPA in every design.
HAZOP and SIL/LOPA studies are part of the design stage for each site, together with the host plant's own safety team.
