Insplorion and MannTek Sign Letter of Intent to Explore Hydrogen Safety Integration
Insplorion, a leader in hydrogen sensing technology, and MannTek, a pioneer in hydrogen refuelling solutions, have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to explore integrating Insplorion’s advanced hydrogen sensors into MannTek’s hydrogen refuelling tank nozzles.
The collaboration aims to enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of hydrogen refuelling. By embedding Insplorion’s compact, fast-response, and highly selective hydrogen sensors directly into the nozzle, the solution promises to simplify refuelling operations while providing an additional safety layer critical for hydrogen applications.
“This LOI marks the start of an exciting development project,” said [Spokesperson Name], [Title] at Insplorion. “Together with MannTek, we will explore both the technical and commercial feasibility of integrating our hydrogen detection technology into refuelling systems, setting a new benchmark in safety and performance.”
Advancing Hydrogen Refuelling Safety
Hydrogen refuelling requires precise, rapid detection to prevent leaks and ensure operational safety. Existing detectors, such as catalytic or electrochemical sensors, often struggle with slow response times, low selectivity, or bulky designs. Insplorion’s sensors address these challenges with a small, highly responsive, and selective solution, making them an ideal fit for MannTek’s nozzles.
MannTek, based in Sweden, is a global leader in advanced coupling solutions for hydrogen. The company has pioneered specialized couplings for liquid hydrogen (LH2) applications across multiple sectors, including truck refuelling, ship bunkering, and aviation. Integrating Insplorion’s hydrogen sensors is expected to boost safety, enhance operational efficiency, and simplify refuelling procedures across these industries.
Next Steps
The LOI lays the groundwork for a joint development project, during which Insplorion and MannTek will:
- Assess the technical integration of hydrogen sensors into refuelling nozzles.
- Evaluate the commercial viability of the solution for industrial and transport applications.
- Explore opportunities to scale the technology for broader adoption in hydrogen infrastructure.
This partnership highlights the growing importance of hydrogen safety solutions in the global push toward clean energy and zero-emission transport. By combining Insplorion’s cutting-edge hydrogen detection technology with MannTek’s innovative refuelling systems, the collaboration aims to set a new standard for hydrogen refuelling safety worldwide.
