Delivering excellence in benzene monitoring instrumentation for the chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries


Monitoring benzene exposure levels is critical for the health and wellbeing of staff and the public who may encounter this group one carcinogen. While benzene has many useful and practical applications in industries, the risk to health is undeniable and requires exact and precise monitoring to mitigate damage. Having accurate and dedicated monitoring instrumentation specifi cally for managing the risk of benzene is essential for any business that works with this chemical.


As benzene is both widespread in industrial applications and poses a signifi cant risk to health, there is pressure from public health and industrial safety perspectives on making sure it is managed and monitored properly. The most effective way of minimising exposure to benzene is through appropriate


safety and monitoring practices. Using PID (photoionisation detection) instruments from ION Science is an excellent way of protecting against potential hazards.


ION Science has a dedicated range of instruments specifi cally designed for monitoring benzene. As a compound that poses a range of long- and short-term health risks associated with exposure, having instruments that can monitor wherever staff are working and in areas where there is potential for public or environmental exposure is key.


For protecting individual staff, ION Science offers the Cub TAC (total aromatic compound) 10.0 eV personal benzene gas monitor. This personal monitoring solution is worn within the breathing zone on the person, allowing individual monitoring of exposure levels to be exact. Equipped with audio and visual alarms when exposure goes beyond pre-set levels, the Cub TAC is designed to keep workers safe in all situations. Data can be uploaded for review by the site occupational hygienist or health and safety offi cer, so any exposures that pose a risk can be quickly addressed and dealt with.


The Titan fi xed benzene specifi c gas monitor is a standalone unit that can be fi tted around sites, factories, and storage units. This is particularly useful for monitoring


benzene, as one of the highest risk factors in benzene exposure is related to the storage and distribution of petrol and petroleum-based products. Benzene can also be found on sites such as oil refi neries and foundries, which are often large and not necessarily always monitored in person. The Titan fi xed unit is wall mounted and samples air every minute, providing an accurate readout of benzene air concentrations within just 60 seconds. With a dynamic detection range, the Titan is designed to monitor for benzene at just 0.1 ppm concentration levels, keeping staff as safe as possible when in proximity.


Where portable detection is essential, ION Science offer the Tiger Select portable benzene gas detector. Ideal for use around sites and for checking levels while working, the Tiger Select keeps staff safe as well as monitoring air levels and concentrations for health and safety purposes. With both 15-minute short term exposure limits and 8 hour time weighted averages, the Tiger Select makes it possible to monitor exposure risks at all levels and throughout the day.


The most comprehensive range of refrigerant gas sensors on the market


Innovative Gas Sensing: By constant research and innovation, NET of Italy has developed distinctive and unique technologies and a comprehensive range of sensors for refrigerant gases detection - all microprocessor based, fully calibrated and targeted at different market segments and applications, both commercial and industrial.


• IRNET-Pro, with over 10 years of fi eld application history is NET’s bestselling sensor. Widely used in industrial applications (from cold rooms to landfi ll gas detection to Oil&Gas settings), can reliably detect CO2


from ppm level to 100%vol ranges, hydrocarbons as well


as R-32 based gases (R454, R452) in the lower fl ammable limit range. It features complete calibration over-40°C/+60°C temperature range and SIL2 certifi cation.


• IREF-Pro has been specifi cally developed for the most accurate detection of low ppm concentrations of HFC and HFO gases. It features a powerful black body light source enabling ppm detection of a comprehensive number of gases. It comes fully calibrated for the target gas and is SIL2 certifi ed.


• IREF-Lite offers a lower cost alternative to the ‘Pro’ version, for commercial and light-industrial applications: it is available for A2L refrigerants (R32, R1234yf, R1234ze) in the fl ammable range and for gases used in VRF applications (R410a, R134a) up to 1%vol.


• The Remora module is the newest addition to our range. This very cost effective device has the same features and gas list as the IREF-Lite but it is designed to be integrated directly on chillers and other refrigeration equipment instead of a gas detector. Every aspect of the hardware can be fully tailored on the customer’s criteria and application needs.
