STARTER KI Gas Detection 15
Eff orts to curb gas fl aring intensify amid environmental concerns
Extended temperature range available for
range of highly precise and reliable gas sensors LogiDataTech GmbH’s MF420-P product range has been using a catalytic sensor (pellistor) to determine the concentration of explosive gases and vapours reliably and accurately in an air mixture for many years. In addition, they can also monitor for hydrogen, methane or LPG, as well as gases from the alcohol family such as methanol, ethanol, propane.
The measuring range of the gases is 0 to 100% LEL. The concentration is output via a 4 to 20 mA interface for further processing. In addition to the previously available temperature range of -10° to +50°C, a temperature range of -30°C - +60°C is now also available. The system is delivered in a robust aluminium housing with IP54 certifi ed protection, which can also be used in dusty or dirty environments.
In combination with LogiDataTech’s limit value detectors (GWZ), reliable gas detection systems for detecting explosive gases and vapours in the ambient air can be set up at low cost. Typical applications for the system are storage rooms with explosive gases and vapours, refrigeration systems or process monitoring.

In recent years, the oil and gas industry has faced increasing scrutiny for fl aring associated gases during crude oil extraction. Although global fl aring volumes have been steadily declining, the top fi ve gas-fl aring nations—Russia, Iran, Iraq, Algeria, and Venezuela—have seen little change in their fl aring levels. According to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, the industry is working with technology and equipment providers to fi nd alternative solutions for managing stranded gases.
GlobalData’s thematic report, “Gas Flaring,” highlights that efforts to monetise stranded gases are gaining momentum, particularly in the US, the UK, and Norway. Despite the overall decline in global fl aring, the leading gas-fl aring countries continue to emit large quantities of gas. These nations often struggle to reduce fl aring due to their economic dependence on oil exports and limited access to mitigation technologies. The report also examines the roles of industry leaders such as BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Shell, and TotalEnergies in efforts to reduce gas fl aring.
Ravindra Puranik, an Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, states: “Gas fl aring has long been associated with crude oil production. As crude oil became central to the global economy, gas fl aring became more common. Over time, awareness of the environmental damage and fi nancial losses caused by gas fl aring increased, leading to global efforts to monitor and mitigate this activity.”
The World Bank spearheads the global initiative to reduce gas fl aring through regular emission monitoring and supports industry participants in curbing this practice. Many oil companies and national governments are signatories to the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative. These collaborations among investors, governments, and oil companies have contributed to a downward trend in global gas fl aring volumes.
While gas fl aring prevents the direct release of methane into the atmosphere (venting), it still produces signifi cant amounts of carbon dioxide. Environmentally conscious investors are pressuring oil and gas companies to mitigate both fl aring and venting activities. The World Bank is one such investor actively supporting emission reduction through its ongoing initiative.
Puranik concludes: “The 2015 Paris Agreement has strengthened efforts to reduce global fl aring. New regulations in countries like the US and some Middle Eastern nations have helped decrease fl aring volumes. Even as oil demand rebounded in 2022 and the global economy picked up, fl aring volumes remained relatively low compared to pre-pandemic levels. This trend is expected to continue through sustained global cooperation.”
