Biogas plants exist to produce methane — which means every anaerobic digestion (AD) site is, by design, producing a gas mixture that sits well above its own explosive limit. Gas detection isn’t a bolt-on safety measure here — it’s core...

By the time visible smoke is detected in a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), a battery fault may already have progressed significantly. Introduction Battery Energy Storage Systems present a range of fire and explosion hazards, particularly when lithium-ion cells begin...

Fugitive emissions describe the unintentional and irregular release of an uncontrolled gas or vapour into the atmosphere as a consequence of the use of industrial equipment, infrastructure and processes. An example of a fugitive emission in the biogas industry could...

A gas detection system is a critical part of the wider Fire & Gas strategy on an oil and gas facility, but its lifecycle extends far beyond installation and commissioning. From understanding the hazards and developing the Fire & Gas...

Gas detection standards have been developed to help protect people, equipment and facilities from the risks associated with flammable, toxic and oxygen-deficient atmospheres. For businesses operating in hazardous environments, understanding these standards is important when selecting, installing and maintaining gas...

Hazardous areas require carefully selected and certified equipment to ensure electrical devices do not become potential ignition sources. Where flammable gases, vapours or dusts may be present, specialist explosion protection methods are used to minimise risk, protect personnel, and maintain...

The oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical processing industries operate with a constant risk of combustible hazards. To maintain safety and regulatory compliance, industrial operations must understand exactly what the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is and how to monitor it...

Did You Know Some Gas Leaks Can Create a Fire or Explosion Risk Within Seconds? Gas detection response time is not just a technical specification; it is a critical factor that can directly impact the safety of employees, business continuity,...

Introduction The growth of hydrogen production is being driven by its important role in the transition towards cleaner energy and achieving Net Zero targets. When hydrogen is used as an energy source, the main by-product is water vapour, making it...

Gas detection systems are only as reliable as the sensors inside them. Over time, those sensors can drift, degrade or become damaged and when that happens, workers may not receive a reliable warning of hazardous gas concentrations. That’s why calibration...
