Gas detection systems in the process industry
Safety for people, systems and the environment
The process industry covers a wide range of sectors – chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, energy and more. What they all have in common is that they all work with highly complex processes in which substances are converted into chemical, physical or biological products.
This often produces dangerous gases and vapors that can pose a high risk.
Typical sources of danger in the process industry:
- Leaks in pipes, valves or reactors
- Disruptions in production processes
- Maintenance work in potentially explosive atmospheres
- Storage tanks, mixing tanks and pumping stations
Relevant gases and risks:
- Explosion hazard: methane (CH₄), hydrogen (H₂), flammable solvent vapors
- Toxic loads: Hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH₃), chlorine (Cl₂)
- Oxygen deficiency or excess: e.g. due to nitrogen (N₂) or oxygen release
Why gas detection systems are essential in the process industry:
An undetected gas leak can have devastating consequences – for the health of employees, the functionality of the system and the safety of the environment. Legal regulations (e.g. ATEX, TRGS, BetrSichV) therefore require clear protective measures.
Our gas detection systems offer:
- Early detection of critical gas values
- Automated alarms and shutdowns
- Connection to control systems (e.g. SCADA, DCS)
- Reliable sensors for harsh industrial environments
Your advantages with our solutions:
- Maximum operational reliability
- Protection against downtime and damage
- Compliance with legal requirements
- Customized systems – stationary or mobile
