The actual cost of a plant closure due to an undetected gas leak can be difficult to calculate but there is no doubt it will be costly. The undetected leak can lead to an increase in insurance premiums. If staff or members of the public are injured in anyway, not only is there the burden of responsibility but insurance premiums may increase further. Generally insurance companies will require adequate gas detection to be in place before they will provide insurance but the gas detection (more…)

Monday, December 19th, 2011Gas Safety with Gas Detectors
Monday, December 19th, 2011 There are a huge range of situations that call for the use of gas detectors. Any gases that pose a risk to human health require a gas detector to be present. Where gases are used that may cause harm to the environment a gas detector is also necessary. (more…)
Importance of Ammonia Gas Leak Detection
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011 Ammonia is one of the most widely produced gases in the world making it a major consideration in gas leak detection. It has uses in a broad variety of industries. Amongst other things it is widely used in the production of petrochemicals, fertilizer and paper. In the form of anhydrous ammonia it is widely used as a coolant for large scale industrial and (more…)
Importance of gas leak detection with the use of refrigeration units.
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 When we understand the gases used in the refrigeration process we begin to see the importance of gas leak detection where they are used. Typically refrigeration works by absorbing heat into a liquid or gas called a refrigerant and moving it with a pump somewhere else. Some gases and liquids have better heat absorbing properties than others. The gases most commonly used in refrigeration are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC’s) and other hydrocarbons such as methane. Ammonia is also sometimes used. (more…)
Gas Detectors for Protection against Explosions and Contamination
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 Gas poses a silent threat that can be fatal if undetected. Individuals are often under the impression that they will easily be able to notice the presence of a harmful gas through smell however poisonous gases like carbon monoxide can be odourless, tasteless and colourless.
