Exia Multi Personal Gas Detector - O2,LEL,CO,H2S Combustible Monitor - IECEx ATEX Hazardous Area

In the confined work spaces found in chemical plants, paper mills, refineries, underground mines and utility passageways, the air may be contaminated with toxic or combustible gases or suffer from a lack of oxygen.

Offshore exploration and production often is conducted in harsh environments, hydrocarbon processing operations produce toxic and combustible gases, which can create serious hazards if they escape into the air.

The chemical and petrochemical industry is a dangerous workplace, petrochemicals bring significant risks during production. Chemical processing and petrochemical plant can have a wide range of toxic gas hazards, flammable gas hazards or asphyxiant gas hazards.

There are many different processes employed in making and forming steel and each stage generates and uses potentially hazardous gases. Coke ovens, the sinter plant, blast furnaces, forming operations as well as secondary steel and continuous casting use or produce dangerous levels of gases.

The gas network connects producers, processors, storage, transmission and distribution functions. Gas distribution describes the activity of providing piped gas (commonly methane) to industrial, commercial and residential properties. All companies involved in the production, processing and distribution of gas need to protect people and plant from explosive and toxic gas hazards.

The emergency scene is fraught with dangers, both seen and unseen. Many of which require a gas detector to help identify the potential on-scene dangers. Portable gas detection equipment can help emergency response crews to meet these challenges.
