The use of battery technology involves risks. Battery fires and explosions are unfortunately becoming more common. And for the safe storage of electricity in energy storage systems (EOS) and the storage of lithium-containing energy carriers, the PGS 37 1 and 2 guidelines apply, which state that both storage locations and the employees involved must meet important safety requirements.

Fortunately, with the help of gas detection it is now possible to be one step ahead of battery ignition and also to meet the PGS requirements.

With the Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS) sensor technology, thermal runaway is prevented efficiently and reliably. Gas detection specialists Peter Adema (Hitma) and Edward Heitlager (Crowcon Detection Instruments) will explain how this works during a free webinar on Thursday 30 January from 10:00.

Now also security in non-ATEX environments
More than 100 companies attended the Hitma webinar last year on securing rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Recently, the MPS sensor technology has also become suitable for non-ATEX environments. That is why Hitma is organizing this webinar on Thursday January 30th at 10:00 for companies where ATEX certification is not necessary.

Within 60 minutes, participants will learn how the innovative MPS sensor enables early detection, minimizing potential hazards.

Agenda webinar January 30 from 10:00 to 11:00 am

  • Introduction
  • Explanation of the operation of Li-ion batteries and thermal runaway (also in non-ATEX environments)
  • Thermal runaway: how to detect?
  • Questions and closing

Register for free webinar
Interested parties who want to know how they can prevent battery fires by taking necessary measures in time can register through this link or via www.hitma-gasdetectie.nl.

During the webinar there will of course be an opportunity to ask questions. Examples will also be discussed, so that a good picture of the possibilities of this sensor technology is created.

The webinar can be followed via computer, tablet or telephone.

Free e-book for participants
Participants will receive the free e-book 'THE BATTERY BOOM The explosive rise of thermal runaway and how you can prevent it'
