Neohance has been awarded the contract to supply the gas detection systems for the ELYgator hydrogen project at Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The project strengthens Neohance’s position within the hydrogen and energy transition sector and demonstrates our expertise in gas detection, process safety, and industrial automation.
The Challenge
Hydrogen production facilities require reliable safety systems to protect personnel, equipment, and operations.
Because hydrogen is highly flammable and oxygen levels can affect operational safety, continuous monitoring and early warning are essential throughout critical areas of the facility.
The ELYgator project requires a dependable gas detection infrastructure that supports safe operations and the large-scale production of renewable hydrogen.
Our Scope
Neohance is responsible for supplying the gas detection infrastructure required to monitor and safeguard critical areas of the facility, including:
- Fixed hydrogen gas detection systems
- Fixed oxygen detection systems
- Hazardous-area gas monitoring solutions
- Gas detection control and monitoring infrastructure
- Engineering support
- Technical documentation
- Commissioning support
Continuous Monitoring and Process Safety
The gas detection systems provide continuous monitoring and early warning of potentially hazardous gas concentrations.
By detecting hydrogen releases and unsafe oxygen levels at an early stage, the solution supports faster response, improved operator awareness, and safer operation of the hydrogen installation.
The systems are designed to support the demanding safety requirements of modern hydrogen production environments.
Supporting the Energy Transition
The ELYgator project forms part of the Netherlands’ wider strategy to accelerate the energy transition and expand renewable hydrogen production.
Located at Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam, the facility contributes to the development of cleaner energy infrastructure while supporting the decarbonization of industrial operations.
Through this project, Neohance contributes critical safety technology to one of the Netherlands’ major hydrogen developments.
