Sensor technology: New method for real-time monitoring of gases
Detecting and identifying gases in very low concentrations: Researchers at the University of Stuttgart can do this in just a few seconds, around 600 times faster than before. Their innovative measurement method holds significant promise for real-time monitoring across environmental, health, and industrial sectors. Most gases, such as methane, which is...
Why Gas Detection System Is a Must for Ships?
Safety at sea is paramount, and one of the critical components ensuring a secure maritime environment is a gas detection system. Ships, especially those involved in ship repair services or transporting hazardous materials, are constantly exposed to potential gas leaks that could lead to catastrophic incidents. Whether it’s preventing explosions, toxic gas...
Fixed Vs Portables – What is Better in the Wastewater Industry?
Wastewater treatment involves eliminating impurities from wastewater or sewage before it reaches aquifers or natural water bodies such as rivers, lakes, estuaries, or oceans. Since pure water only exists in chemical laboratories, the distinction between clean and polluted water depends on the type and concentration of impurities and the water’s...
Gas Detection in the Mining Industry
The mining industry is a vital sector of the global economy, responsible for the extraction of minerals, metals, and other geological materials from the earth. These resources are essential for a wide range of applications, from the construction of infrastructure to the production of technology and energy. The industry is...
Gas Detection in the Chemical Manufacturing Industry
Chemical manufacturing is a vital sector of the global economy that involves the transformation of raw materials, such as oil, natural gas, minerals, and water, into thousands of different products that are essential for modern life. This industry is responsible for the large-scale production of chemicals that serve as building...
PID – The Ideal HazMat Response Tool
Photoionisation detectors (PIDs) are essential for detecting low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful gases. Since many HazMat (Hazardous Material) incidents involve VOCs, the sensitivity of PIDs to these compounds makes them invaluable for HazMat operations. They are widely used for various applications, including: Initial assessment of...
IoT and Machine Learning for Pure Gas Detection
In a paper published in the journal Applied Sciences, researchers integrated the Internet of Things (IoT) with machine learning (ML) to distinguish pure gases in various applications. They networked gas sensors for continuous, real-time monitoring, generating data for ML models. Using supervised algorithms like random forests, they created accurate classification models based...
Understanding H2S Gas: A Silent Hazard in Industrial Environments
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is well known as a colorless, flammable gas with a distinctive “rotten egg” odor. It can also be deadly, particularly in industrial environments where it’s often produced. Awareness and preparedness are key to ensuring safety around any gas hazard; and not only having the right tools, but...
