Application of Methane Gas Sensors in Industrial Environments

In today's industrial environment, methane gas leakage not only threatens the safety of workers, but may also cause serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, installing efficient methane gas sensors becomes the key. The figure below shows a scene where a methane gas sensor is installed on an industrial pipeline.

Safety has always been the primary concern in natural gas processing plants. Methane is the main component of natural gas. If it leaks, it will not only cause fire and explosion risks, but also have serious impacts on the environment. To this end, the factory decided to install high-precision methane gas sensors at key locations.

The sensors are installed in leak-prone areas such as storage tanks and pipeline interfaces to monitor the methane concentration in the air in real time. Once an abnormal concentration is detected, the system will immediately trigger an alarm to notify the operator to quickly investigate and repair the leak. Since the equipment supports remote data monitoring, managers can view sensor data at any time through the monitoring system or mobile devices in the control room, thereby greatly reducing the frequency of manual inspections.

Through the deployment of this methane gas monitoring system, the factory has not had any methane leakage accidents in the past year, which not only ensures the safety of workers, but also meets environmental emission standards and avoids potential legal liabilities and economic losses.
