Senscient ELDS - New Technology for Toxic and Flammable Gas Detection

摘要

OpenPathGasDetectors(OPGD)utilizingNDIRdetectiontechniqueshavebeeninusesincethelate 1980's and are widely accepted for many Oil&Gas, Petrochemical and other industry's combustible gas detection applications. OPGD systems are currently used to monitor hydrocarbon gas leaks at offshore and onshore oil and gas production facilities, refineries, petrochemical plants, gas transmission stations and many other industrial facilities. The earliest NDIR OPGD systems were plagued with environmental interferences and failed to provide consistent Performance when exposed to direct sunlight or weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog. In order to cope with these environmental challenges, designers of OPGDs pushed NDIR technology to its limits, but this has left little room for further improvement. This previous generation of open-path gas detection technology also does not have the ability to detect toxic gases present. Consequently, there are many demanding toxic and flammable gas detection requirements which cannot be adequately met using NDIR-based equipment.
