- The presentation will cover current technology's advantages, such as point detectors, and discuss National Gas Transmission's research on gas detection systems for transitioning to a hydrogen-blend future.
- MethaneTrack™, a system highlighted in the discussion, focuses on accurately detecting, locating, and quantifying gas leaks and emissions to facilitate reduction.
- Abd Elrahman Afifi, a Chemical Engineering graduate, is part of National Gas Transmission, focusing on innovation including hydrogen applications after completing three placements in the company.
Abd Elrahman Afifi, a Chemical Engineering graduate from Aston University and currently a part of National Gas Transmission, is set to speak at Hazardex Live 2025. His presentation will delve into the realm of gas detection and the various methods and equipment employed to locate and minimize gas emissions and leaks. The discussion will include an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of current technologies like point detectors, alongside National Gas Transmission's ongoing research ventures into gas detection systems geared towards a hydrogen-blend and ultimately a 100% hydrogen future. Of particular interest is the exploration of MethaneTrack™, a system designed to enhance emission and leak reduction by precisely identifying, pinpointing, and measuring gas leaks and emissions. Abd's background and experience, having undergone three placements at National Gas Transmission in Investment and Process, Process Safety Engineering, and Innovation & Hydrogen, position him well to address these critical topics. His transition to focusing on process safety engineering after his tenure with the graduate scheme underscores the importance of innovative solutions in the gas industry's evolution towards a hydrogen-powered landscape.
