WILMINGTON — Startup hydrogen company Aternium Inc . could become one of the first of its kind to use artificial intelligence software in its manufacturing process thanks to a boost it received from a new partnership with industrial conglomerate Honeywell.

Aternium, launched by former Adesis executive Andrew Cottone and former Delaware Sustainable Chemistry Alliance head Dora Cheatham, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Honeywell to use its safety and control software.

The Protonium program uses machine learning to maximize the hydrogen plant’s control system and monitors to help detect hydrogen leaks 24/7. Protonium also uses predictive control algorithms in the plant design to help identify carbon intensity, possible ways to reduce power, thus reducing operation costs.
