Common gases include:
Ammonia is toxic in high concentrations and widely used in food refrigeration systems as well as a food additive/processing agent. Detection ensures worker safety and helps prevent leaks, minimising wastage of an expensive gas resource.
A CO₂ monitor measures carbon dioxide levels in parts per million (ppm) to help assess ventilation performance and air quality in enclosed environments.
CO2 is used to put the ‘fizz’ into beverages and to extend the shelf life of meat and produce. Itis heavier than air and in areas connected to the brewing industry, a leak can displace oxygen, creating the risk of suffocation.
Continuous gas monitoring involves 24/7 real-time detection of gases using fixed systems, providing ongoing safety and alerts.
Gas detectors should be serviced and calibrated:
