Petrochemical

In the chemical and petrochemical industry, permanent monitoring of facilities and plants in which explosive or toxic atmospheres can form is required. Personal protection requires the monitoring of hazardous gases in accessible areas, to prevent accidents and to comply with code requirements.

What gases pose hazard in Petrochemical Plants?

While there are significant concerns and hazards petrochemical workers might face, they range from toxic gas exposure in confined spaces and the risk of fire or explosion from combustible gases.

Below, we highlight the main potential gas exposures, such as:

Combustibles - gases like methane, butane, ethane, and propane
Incomplete Combustion - from fossil fuels / carbon monoxide (CO)
Nitrogen Oxides - such as NO2
Drilling and Extraction of Oil & Gas - leading to H2S release
Production of Fertilizers - leading to Ammonia (NH3) use and hazard
Petrochemical Products - leads to Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like benzene being present

Gas Hazards in Petrochemical Plants

Chemicals, gases and many waste products are generated in the petrochemical industry. These substances can be organic or inorganic in nature. At the reactors, storage sites and pipelines, the greatest hazards lie from escaping gases or volatile substances. To contain these hazards, reliable gas detection safety detectors must be used.

Benefits of a Combustible Gas Detector in Petrochemical Plants

Instant SIL2-certification with PX2 combustible detectors for Zones 1 and 2
Modular design and custom configuration dependent upon environment
Integrated MPS sensors that provide a 15-year lifespan
Integrated IR sensors for precise, long-term monitoring
