Hi Gang,
Hydrogen is explosive when it reaches just 4% concentration in air. Because so little amount of gas is needed for combustion to occur, monitoring and measuring the gas in order to activate safety control equipment or to sound an alarm is vital to avoid hazardous situations. Process monitoring based on fast and accurate measurement is also important to many process industries such as; petro chemical, energy, medical, waste management, environmental, manufacturing, food, military and space. Some current DCHT customers include NASA, Ford, Westinghouse, Allied Signal, General Motors, Lockheed Martin Defense Systems, The US Naval Medical Research Institute, and a number of other internationally-known aerospace, automotive, nuclear and defense industry clients.
DCHT's gas sensor products are aimed at a worldwide market with potential sales estimated at US$2 billion per year. DCH Technology's flagship product is the "Robust Hydrogen Sensor" (currently in production), and is aimed at an estimated US$200 million market. DCHT's product line has been demonstrated by independent testing labs to consistently and significantly outperform its competitors products.
In semiconductors, when large quantities of hydrogen are accumulated in semiconductor manufacturing plants, much of it is burned off in furnaces. A sensor is needed to monitor the hydrogen accumulation in these burners. Only the DCH sensor is robust enough to handle this harsh environment. DCH estimates this and related process monitoring applications could potentially generate sales of $18,000,000 annually.
