H2scan Corporate Presentation at ISA's 53rd Analysis Division Symposium Selected as One of Three Best Papers
| Source: H2scan
VALENCIA, CA--(Marketwire - April 28, 2008) - H2scan Corporation today announced that a
technical presentation detailing capabilities of the company's hydrogen
sensor technology was selected as the third best paper at the ISA's 53rd
Analysis Division Symposium held in Calgary, Alberta, April 20-24, 2008.
The symposium, which focuses on new and innovative analytical solutions for
process control & compliance, is attended by industry professionals from
around the world, and over 30 pre-screened papers were presented for review
and rating by this symposium. The paper was authored by Prabhu
Soundarrajan, An Nguyen Le and Dr. Todd Wilke, H2scan's Chief Technical
Officer.
Hydrogen is an important gas used in petroleum refining and chemical
production, but direct measurement of hydrogen for optimum control has been
limited by available sensing technologies. H2scan's hydrogen sensors enable
new process monitoring and control applications because they offer both
enhanced capabilities and a reduced total cost of ownership. H2scan's
sensing technology is fundamentally specific to hydrogen and is therefore
not affected by the presence of many background gases such as H2O,
hydrocarbons and CO2. H2scan's sensors also have a proprietary coating over
the sensing elements that allows for continuous operation in the presence
of contaminants such as H2S and CO which negatively affect other sensors.
As a solid-state device, H2scan's hydrogen sensor is also a cost effective
solution since it has no moving parts or consumables and has a 10 year
product life expectancy.
The ISA is a global organization with over 30,000 members worldwide founded
in 1945 dedicated to the advancement of instrumentation, systems and
automation in all industries and applications.
H2scan is the leading provider of high performance hydrogen specific sensor
systems which provide accurate monitoring and control functions for a wide
range of applications, including control systems, safety monitoring and
alarm systems. H2scan also provides portable, hand-held configurations for
easy leak detection and monitoring.

About H2scan (www.h2scan.com)
H2scan is the leading provider of high performance hydrogen specific sensor
systems which provide accurate monitoring and control functions for a wide
range of applications, including control systems, safety monitoring and
alarm systems. H2scan also provides portable, hand-held configurations for
easy leak detection and monitoring.
H2scan's hydrogen specific sensing systems based on a patented "Chip on a
flex" technology are able to detect and measure hydrogen without false
readings or expensive support equipment required. The sensing systems are
able to detect hydrogen in air down to 15 ppm concentration over a wide
range of temperatures without cross-sensitivities to other gases. The
ability to operate in the presence or absence of oxygen with no
interference with CO, sulfur, or chlorine separates H2scan from all other
in-line measuring technologies.
The company's solid-state technology was developed at the U.S. Department
of Energy Sandia National Laboratory and is only available commercially
through H2scan.
H2scan Corporation is headquartered in Valencia, California, and was formed
in 2002 with capital assistance from the Ravinia Venture Fund and
Vancouver-based Chrysalix Energy Limited Partnership, which includes
Ballard Power Systems Inc., Shell Hydrogen, The BOC Group, BASF Venture
Capital and Mitsubishi Corporation.
