THE DETECTION OF GREENHOUSE GASES

摘要

Natural gas providers for years have been dealing with how to effectively reduce greenhouse gas. Whether it be petroleum or natural gas leakage; escaping gas that goes undetected can become a source of ignition or toxic poisoning that could generate an unsafe environment for the public and/or employees. Besides the safety aspect and environmental hazards; the loss of revenue and operation integrity is of concern for the greenhouse gas manager. Having a proactive program can alleviate the problems. Using state of the art instrumentation that can detect leaks remotely, instead of the standard "touch and go" process of checking every component, can provide for a faster survey, inspections from a safe distance and the ability to survey hard to access sites; thus shortening inspection times and increasing operational efficiency. Over the years, especially within the past decade, several new technologies have been introduced to detect, measure and improve the inspection of leakage in a natural gas system including; LNG, transmission and distribution. This paper will reinforce a proactive approach with proven technology leading to safer, hazard free environments.
