Savcor offers the GDS Combi Controller can monitor up to 64 addressable and 16 direct of various gas types. Suitable for all environments – from light commercial sites through to heavy industrial and petrochemical sites – the Combi Controller will also monitor other transducers having 4~20mA signal operation.

The Combi Controller includes a network controller that can link multiple Combis. It also features four-way programmable CAN relay modules, providing localised relay operations from any selected pattern of sensors, as well as eight-way 4~20 mA modules, which provide localised 4~20 mA signal operations from any selected sensors. Both module types are attachable to any point on a sensor cable run.

Industrial Scientific introduces the Ventis MX4 multi-gas detector

Industrial Scientific supplies the Ventis™ MX4, a small, reliable multi-gas detector that can be used in a variety of applications.

The Ventis is one of the most highly configurable instruments available. A wide range of sensors is available to ensure safety in a variety of environments. A powerful, yet lightweight pump can be selected for easy monitoring in confined spaces, or the instrument can be used without the pump for continuous personal monitoring. The instrument comes with black or safety orange overmolds for increased visibility,

The Ventis is compatible with iNet, Industrial Scientific’s gas detection service solution.

Heath Pipeline Services offers safe gas detection with RMLD

The Remote Methane Leak Detector™ (RMLD), an eye-safe laser-based natural gas sensor used to locate leaks in natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines, is now being offered by Heath Pipeline Services. The RMLD can quickly and efficiently detect leaks up to 30 m away, allowing the user to safely survey hard-to-reach areas and difficult terrains.

Available gas detectors that deploy technologies such as flame ionisation must be positioned within the leak plume to detect the presence of methane. The RMLD does not have to be within the gas plume because its laser technology makes it possible to detect methane leaks along the sight line without always having to walk the full length of the service line.

The RMLD signal is processed so that methane concentrations can be reported in parts per million metre and is selective to methane only, meaning it will not false alarm on other hydrocarbons.

TD Williamson offers pocket-sized personal detection

GAZOMAT™, a T.D. Williamson company located in France, offers the Gaztox™ detector, a pocket personal protection device designed for use by operators who may be exposed to hazardous gas concentrations in their workplace.

Depending on the type of sensor fitted, this single-gas detector measures in real time hazardous concentrations of oxygen or toxic gases such as hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. The detector provides multiple alarms, and its small size allows it to fit in the palm of the hand or be clipped onto safety helmets, belts, straps or pockets.

ES&S introduces fibre optic leak detection

ES&S offers gas detection through its fibre optic monitoring systems, which are based on a combination of sensing cables, measurement instruments and data processing software.

When leaks occur, liquid and gaseous substances generate a hot or a cold spot depending on their physical properties, process and environmental conditions. These local thermal anomalies can be detected by a distributed temperature profile with good temperature, spatial and detection time resolution.

A laser beam is injected in the fibre at a specific wavelength. The light interacts with the molecular structure at every point along the fibre, and the backscattered light carrying the information about local temperature (Raman effect) or local strain (Brillouin effect) is analysed by the measurement instrument.

The cables are designed to be installed at the structure’s surface or very close to it. The different distributed sensing solutions can monitor long or large structures.

Air-Met presents the MX6 iBrid

Air-Met is now distributing Industrial Scientifics’ MX6 iBrid. Monitoring up to six gases simultaneously, the powerful MX6 iBrid is the world’s first gas monitor with a full colour display. The display improves safety with clear readings in all lighting conditions, making it easier to see what gas hazards lurk in the immediate work environment.

This precision instrument can measure hazardous gases in the workplace, allowing the issue of leaking gas to be addressed before any problems occur.

Portable, remote gas detection with Anode Engineering

Anode Engineering is supplying Adler’s ADL-MLD15A Remote Laser Leak Detector, which uses advanced laser technology to detect methane gas up to 34 m away. This provides a safe and efficient operating distance, allowing the operator to test various areas from the same position and dramatically reducing test times.

Extremely light-weight and ergonomically comfortable, these portable gas detection units will measure with 95 per cent confidence and a lightning fast response time of 100 milliseconds.

Widely used in natural gas plants, petrochemical plants, coal mines and gas stations, this portable gas detection unit has an audible and visual alarm system to ensure you are aware when dangerous gases are present.
