Gas detection systems are essential for ensuring plant and personnel safety in a number of heavy industrial sectors, such as petrochemicals, energy, hydrogen power, and oil and gas. Despite the significant overlap in monitored substances (H2, LPG, CH4, VOCs, CO, H2S, O2 depletion and etc.), each application faces unique challenges that require the careful selection and implementation of the appropriate detection solutions.
In the upstream segment enterprises dealing with exploration and drilling often encounter volatile organic compoinds (VOCs) that pose threats of combustion and various health hazarads.
Midstream operations involving product storage and transportation often entail an exposure to flammable gases (e.g. methane) and toxic substances such as hydrogen sulphide (H2S).
Downstream processes, including refining and distribution, carry similar risks, associated with combustibles (propane and butane), as well as various toxic gasses.
Power generation is crucial for homes and industry alike. Across fossil fuel, nuclear and renewable energy sources, the substances that require monitoring typically include methane (CH4) carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), hydrogen fluoride (HF), ammonia (NH3), chlorine (Cl2) and others. In addition to safety, gas detection systems play a crucial role in maintaining process effectiveness and reducing downtime in this sector.
Various aspects of the Hydrogen industry carry combustion and/or asphyxiation risks, including production, storage, and distribution. In addition to its wide flammability range (4%–74% vol. in air), Hydrogen is dangerous due to its invisible flames. Even small quantities of hydrogen can cause explosions when mixed with atmospheric air, and subsequent fires may remain undetected, causing significant damage.
Gas detectors are the first line of defense against combustible hydrocarbons (CH4, LPG, VOCs), as well as hydrogen-related hazards and toxic gasses (CO, NH3, Cl2, H2S). They help to ensure the safety of assets and personnel, as well as reliable and continuous operations. They are also the optimal way to mitigate the toxicity and asphyxiation risks assosciated with the accumulation of these substances past their explosive limits. The requirements for detection equipment across these industries are found in EN 60079.
