Gas Detection 47
Water and wastewater industries harness the power of connected safety
Simple solutions for fl ammable refrigerant gases
If you are a user or supplier of refrigeration equipment to the European market you will be very aware of the progressing legislation driving the transition to refrigerant gases with a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP). The European legislation in 2020 outlaws the use of refrigerants with a GWP above 2500 thus accelerating the progressive change from the use of high GWP refrigerant gases to the new lower GWP gases like R290, R1234, CO2
and
Ammonia. The practice and use of the new refrigerant gases offers a more planet friendly solution but they also introduce other safety issues for the equipment and its placement. The new refrigerant gases like R290, R1234 and Ammonia are fl ammable or semi-fl ammable. The fl ammability needs careful consideration as to where the equipment is fi tted especially within a confi ned space. A confi ned space with the refrigeration equipment fi tted and charged with a fl ammable gas now becomes a Hazardous Area under ATEX requiring a gas detection system of some form to meet ATEX requirements and worker safety legislation.
SGX refrigerant gas sensors use infrared technology which offers a simple low maintenance solution for use in refrigerant gas leakage detection and fl ammable Lower Explosive Limit monitoring solutions for hazardous areas.
These sensors come in R290, R32 and R1234 versions, feature an integrated microprocessor and are Hazardous Area Ex certifi ed. With both digital and analogue output available, these sensors are factory calibrated, temperature compensated, mechanically robust and chemically resistant.
The water and wastewater industries are embracing a more holistic approach to worker safety as the advances and advantages of a more connected, digitised and data-driven operational programme become ever more apparent. This approach reduces response time to worker safety incidents but, according to the business and investment online publishers, Visual Capitalist, it appears that connected workers’ productivity raises by 8%, whilst operational spend is reduced by 8.5%. This would explain why so many organisations within the water sectors are keen to enhance the level of their personnel’s safety, while improving performance and reducing costs.
Blackline Safety have already made a huge difference to their customers’ approach to safety in the water/wastewater sectors. Their portfolio ranges from cloud-connected instruments that continuously monitor for safety incidents in real- time to quantitative data and insights dashboards. A complete connected safety solution brings opportunities to take safety, and your entire organisation, to the next level.
The water industry employs personnel to perform a variety of challenging and potentially dangerous tasks; they have to supervise wastewater plants, monitor fl owmeters, or keep track of water quality at remote pumping stations or reservoirs. These jobs involve working in environments with high voltage materials, hazardous or contaminated water, poisonous chemicals, and toxic or explosive gases, often in confi ned spaces such as sewers, pipelines, storage tanks or access tunnels. Oxygen defi ciency, extreme temperatures or exposure to high levels of hydrogen sulphide and other toxic gases are ubiquitous to such locations. The use of chemicals like chlorine (Cl2
) and ammonia (NH3 ),
commonly used in wastewater treatment plants, also pose considerable health risks for workers, in addition to gases produced because of wastewater and treatment processes, like hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide (SO2
). These hazards are even more of a danger to remote or lone personnel.
To save lives, time, money and stress, today’s water organisations need a versatile and scalable solution for protection against all the hazards their workers face, while making sure that you can get to them as soon as possible should the worst happen. That’s where Blackline’s connected technology can come to the fore.
Real-time data supporting a precise, robust and informed response is a powerful tool. Cloud-connected real-time data provides safety managers continuous situational awareness, so they can see the condition of the workers and monitor their safety at work continuously. Rapid gas exposure alerts, person-down alarms, and manual safety triggers enable a fast response to safety incidents. Once this technology is teamed up with professional, live 24/7 monitoring water organisations can rest assured that they have the requisite quick response capabilities to protect their staff.

50362pr@reply-direct.com New PID sensor takes VOC monitoring to the next level
For More Info, email: email:
IGD have raised the standard for VOC detection with a brand new PID sensor! With 5 different detection range options and a range of detector heads, IGDs PID is built to perfectly suit any application.
IGDs PID proprietary UV lamp technology utilises a non-electrode lamp design. This curtails the effects of sputtering and contamination, a common issue of current PID technology.
Sputtering and contamination can affect the lifetime and accuracy of a PID, thus it is vital to negate this to ensure your PID is working at the highest quality.
IGD’s PID can last 200% longer than the market standard with their non- electrode UV design, offering 30,000+ hours of sensor life. Ultimately, raising the bar for VOC technology, saving maintenance costs and also ensuring a high performing PID.
The common issues of humidity and temperature are massively reduced with IGDs revolutionary PID. This eliminates the possibilities of false readings and drift whilst not affecting their performance; a very important quality to ensure your life safety system is performing at its maximum capability.
All of these outstanding features are available on IGDs world leading addressable technology. More information online:
