Gas Detection 29
would have been far more complex and expensive to install. The client appreciated Oldham’s competitive advantage over other gas detection manufacturers with its latest innovative model of the OLCT 80 Wireless: “We could install a OLCT 80 Wireless in locations without direct line of sight view that still connected to the master. One installation is actually behind a building with high voltage transformers and the signal is still getting through”.
Following an on-site demonstration given by Oldham’s iES team, the device’s powerful signal and mesh network topology were quick to gain the support of the facility's safety manager by offering a convenient, efficient and economical gas detection solution. As a result, a dozen wireless detectors were installed in remote areas. An MX 43 controller was also installed in the customer’s control room, and which is in constant wireless communication with all the OLCT 80 Wireless devices in the field, displaying the alarm status of each OLCT 80 Wireless.
Another application for which wireless capability (combined with Oldham’s gas detection expertise) was a key success factor involved monitoring areas at risk for anoxia within the chamber of a submarine that was under construction. Since personnel within the vessel are frequently on the move, the safety manager was seeking anoxia detection equipment that could be easily transported by operators from one area to another. In addition, the customer noted that any cables throughout the vessels would be highly prone to damage.
With the OLCT 80 Wireless option, Oldham was able to meet the customer’s requirements and make it possible to transmit alarms
via a secure radio signal. With the support of Oldham’s iES team, a network of 15 OLCT 80 Wireless devices was proposed throughout the submarine and was designed in conjunction with an MX 43 Wireless Controller installed in the control room.
These two studies illustrate how the need for innovation, the desire to keep costs low, and the availability of technology come together to provide outstanding customer solutions where none existed previously. Mr. Martel points out, “Thanks to the dataradio, we have launched the OLCT 80 Wireless, Oldham’s first wireless detector. This new transmitter allows us to expand our range and offer new solutions to our customers. With this
breakthrough, we have equipped major sites and achieved outstanding success. The worldwide market for wireless technology is getting more important every day and thus propels us to the forefront of technological innovation while providing security in the workplace.”
The OLCT 80 Wireless is a perfect example of how this is achieved through the expertise and ingenuity of engineers with many years of experience in gas detection, combined with a leading provider of wireless sensing technologies for remote industrial applications.
Gas Detection Market Reaches $2.2 Billion in Annual Revenues
New market trends data released by Honeywell company City Technology (UK) shows extensive growth in the Industrial Gas Detection sector, which has now reached $2.2 billion in worldwide revenues. The biggest growth in the sector has been attributed to the Oil and Gas industry, spurred on by a surge in Shale Gas exploration and the increasing demand for energy.
City Technology is at the heart of Gas Detection systems, providing specialist solutions in gas sensing technology, ensuring safety in the sector. City are specialist suppliers of gas sensors for the life safety and emissions gas analysis sectors, contributing to a global gas sensing market worth $420m.
John Warburton, Strategic Marketing Manager at City Technology, describes this market as vibrant with many opportunities for continuing growth. "The Gas Detection market is very strong at the moment. For example, we are predicting that the global demand for gas sensors will grow at 5-6% pa over the next five years with the Asia Pacific region growing at 10%. Growth in North America will remain strong, driven by the on-going development of shale gas deposits.
“Moreover, new trends in Gas Detection go beyond traditional markets. For example, City has highlighted the growth in the market for Medical and Domestic Gas Detection sensors, for instance in carbon monoxide and flammable gas alarms, which are worth nearly $90 million combined." John Warburton affirms that, “These future growth markets are being driven by health and safety awareness and legislation. Furthermore, it will be an increasing demand for energy and the strengthening global economy that will shape these developments and, therefore, the future of gas detection.”
With a range of more than 300 products detecting 28 different gases and a growing number of facilities in Europe, the USA and Asia Pacific, City Technology is well positioned to capitalise on this market growth whilst continuing to be the leading choice for sensing technology.
