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...

How Accurate is Your Gas Detector? Understanding Gas Detector Accuracy

Accurate gas detectors save lives and protect property. When choosing a gas detector, one can't underestimate the importance of precision and reliability. Choosing the right gas detector can mean the difference between safety and disaster. Understanding Gas Detector Accuracy When examining the accuracy of gas detectors, several factors come into play. Calibration, sensor type, and environmental conditions...

Gas Detection Using Enrichment-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

In a recent article published in Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, researchers introduced an innovative method called enrichment-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). This technique improves the gas detection sensitivity of PAS by using vertical graphene (VG) as an enrichment material. The study explored VG's potential to improve the detection limit of nitric oxide...

The agreement combines Honeywell's emissions management suite with Weatherford's Cygnet SCADA platform, providing customers with a powerful tool to monitor, report, and take measures to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, flammable hydrocarbons, and other potentially dangerous...

The Importance of Early Gas Detection in Battery Storage

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the rise of lithium-ion batteries has revolutionised the energy landscape. These compact powerhouses have helped shift our society away from complete fossil fuel dependence, powering the rise of electric vehicles and enabling us to store renewable energy on a previously impossible scale. However,...

Gravimetric sensors to improve greenhouse gas detection

Scientists from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have developed so-called gravimetric sensors that can detect greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and others. The researchers believe their sensors, which won the Sails of Europe 2023 award “For Investment in Innovation in Business”, are a good alternative to electrochemical sensors currently in...

Gas Detection In The Aviation Industry

Gas detection in the aviation industry is critical for primarily maintaining the safety maintenance crew due to the plethora of environments they may work in. Jet fuel and confined spaces both present a gas hazard for these personnel, therefore gas detection equipment is installed to ensure their safety. This article...
