Gas detectors for the chemical industry: Safe protection against toxic and explosive gases in hazardous goods warehouses

Hazardous substances and flammable gases are part of everyday life in the chemical industry – especially in hazardous goods warehouses. Whether intermediate storage facilities, filling stations or warehouses for raw materials and end products: Even the smallest leaks can have serious consequences – from health risks and environmental hazards to explosions.

Why gas detectors are indispensable in hazardous goods warehouses in the chemical industry

Hazardous goods warehouses are sensitive areas with high safety requirements. The substances stored there – such as solvents, toxic gases like ammonia (NH₃), chlorine (Cl₂), hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) or flammable gases like methane (CH₄) and propane (C₃H₈) – pose a serious threat if released in an uncontrolled manner.

Gas detectors are therefore an essential part of any safety strategy: they detect dangerous concentrations at an early stage before people or systems are harmed. In the event of a leak, an alarm is triggered automatically – acoustically, visually and, if required, directly linked to fire alarm or building management systems.

Typical challenges in hazardous goods warehouses in the chemical industry:

Leaks during the storage or transfer of chemicals
Sealing faults on tanks or containers
Evaporation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Danger of explosive atmospheres in accordance with the ATEX directive
Personal protection during maintenance and access to storage areas

Our solution: Intelligent gas detection systems for maximum safety in hazardous areas

Our gas detection solutions are specially designed for the requirements of the chemical industry and the storage of hazardous substances:

Reliable detection of toxic and explosive gases in accordance with current standards (e.g. ATEX, TRGS, VdS)
Robust design for use in industrial environments
Modular, expandable systems for individual rooms, large warehouses or Ex zones
Connection to fire alarm systems (FAS), PLC or central control centers
Early warning and evacuation support in an emergency

More safety, less risk – with modern gas warning technology for the chemical industry

Our tried and tested gas detectors actively help to prevent accidents, production downtime and environmental damage. Companies in the chemical industry thus benefit from reliable monitoring, legally compliant safety technology and a sustainable protection concept for people, processes and the environment.
