HYDROGEN SENSORS - FUEL CELLS - GAS DETECTORS & MONITORS
DCH Technology, Inc. is a manufacturer of hydrogen sensors, gas detectors and process monitors; the technology licensed from the Sandia National Laboratory, and PEM Fuel Cells; also licensed from the US Department of Energy's Lab at Los Alamos.
The current market for gas sensors is estimated at US$2 billion today, and growing. dch-technology.com
DCH has projected $105 million in revenue and $26 million in net profit, spread over the next 5 years from sales of the Robust Hydrogen Sensor. This forecast does not factor in revenue from their fuel cell division, which may dwarf the sensor business. dch-technology.com
Current customers for the Robust Hydrogen Sensor include NASA, General Dynamics, General Electric, Ford, Westinghouse, Allied Signal, General Motors, Lockheed Martin, The US Naval Medical Research Institute, Phoenix Gas Systems, and many others. dch-technology.com DCH has been quietly preparing to provide the safety systems for the emerging hydrogen energy industry. US hydrogen sales have grown at an average annual rate of more than 25% per year during 1993-1997, including 7 new plants to serve gasoline refineries.
Hydrogen becomes explosive when it reaches just 4% concentration in air; therefore monitoring and measuring the fluctuating levels, in order to activate safety controls to avoid explosions and loss of life.
Only the DCH sensor is equipped to monitor variations in levels of hydrogen in extreme industrial environments, to signal the increasing danger and the need for maintenance. dch-technology.com
Westinghouse is using DCH sensors in nuclear safety projects. Their first project was the retrofitting of the Leningrad nuclear reactor, with DCH Robust Hydrogen sensors. dch-technology.com
DCH anticipates significant revenue from the power transformer and semiconductor industries, and has taken the first steps towards penetrating those highly lucrative markets. dch-technology.com
DCH also anticipates significant revenue from the $ 5 Billion annual highway infrastructure and bridge repair industry, and has taken the first steps towards penetrating those markets. dch-technology.com
Daimler Chrysler has said that their electric powered fuel cell cars will be ready for testing in California by 2001. Every one of those cars will need several reliable sensors.
DCH believes that their sensor technology will play a vital role in the development of these fuel cell powered cars. In a May 19, 1998 press release, David Haberman, DCH Chairman and VP of technology and planning stated,
" Based on our discussions with Ford and General Motors, we believe that the use of DCH equipment in the production of these vehicles, on-board these vehicles and in the refueling infrastructure will be specified by both OEMs and the evolving regulations." dch-technology.com
HYDROGEN-POWERED FUEL CELLS
DCH is teamed with the US Dept. of Energy's Los Alamos National Lab developing the PEM Fuel Cell.
DCH is also developing smaller fuel cells to power scooters, motorbikes, and rechargeable batteries.
