As a core component of the modern safety protection system, gas monitoring equipment is building a safety line for various scenarios through a real-time concentration warning mechanism. When the concentration of the target gas in the air exceeds the threshold, the detector will immediately trigger an alarm to gain golden time for risk disposal. The following dismantles the mandatory/recommended installation scenarios of gas detectors from the industry dimension to help you accurately grasp the key points of safety layout.
Core areas of industrial production
Full chain scenarios of petrochemical industry
The raw material mining, refining and processing, storage and transportation of the petrochemical industry are accompanied by high-risk gas risks. Equipment areas such as crude oil distillation towers and catalytic reactors are prone to leakage of flammable gases such as methane and propane; benzene volatilization may occur at the interface of the oil pipeline; and the storage tank area needs to focus on preventing the accumulation of toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide.
Coal chemical process node
In chemical production using coal as raw material, devices such as coal gasifiers and synthetic ammonia reactors will release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide and ammonia.
Special environment for metallurgical smelting
Mixed gases of benzopyrene and hydrogen sulfide often appear in the coke oven operation area of iron and steel metallurgy; there is a risk of carbon monoxide leakage in the gas pipeline of the blast furnace ironmaking link.
Semiconductor process space
Gases such as arsenic and phosphine used in chip manufacturing workshops are highly toxic, while silane and ammonia are flammable and explosive.
Commercial operation risk area
Catering gas safety line
According to the latest requirements of the “Work Safety Law”, gas use areas in catering places must be equipped with combustible gas alarm devices.
Special scenes of cold chain storage
Cold storage with ammonia as refrigerant has unique safety challenges.
Underground space gas control
Underground wine cellars are prone to form an oxygen-deficient environment due to alcohol volatilization.
Key areas of civil buildings
Underground traffic space protection
Underground parking lots are prone to excessive carbon monoxide concentrations due to the accumulation of automobile exhaust.
Special operations and public scenes
Underground engineering safety monitoring
Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide are prone to accumulation in tunnel construction faces.
Agricultural production risk prevention and control
Large-scale farms produce high concentrations of ammonia due to the fermentation of livestock and poultry manure.
Scientific research experiment protection scenarios
Highly toxic gases such as chlorine and phosgene are often used in fume hoods in chemical laboratories in universities.
Through accurate identification of risk scenarios and scientific configuration of monitoring equipment, gas detectors are being upgraded from single alarm tools to core nodes of smart safety systems, providing digital protection barriers for safe production in various industries.
