The
manufacture, storage and use of chemicals in industrial applications
will result in many designated hazardous areas. Under law
these areas are required to be constantly monitored by fixed
gas detection systems or regularly checked using portable
instruments when people are working in the area.
GMI
produce a wide range of portable and fixed gas detection instruments
certified for use in hazardous areas.
Typical
Applications
- Confined Space Monitoring
Pre-entry checking and personal monitoring is
required to ensure operator safety in confined spaces such as
tanks, pipes etc. GMI instruments can detect flammable and toxic
gases as well as oxygen depletion.
GMI
Instrument:
- Area Monitoring
As stated above the law requires
monitoring of those areas deemed Hazardous through either
the process being carried out or the Chemicals being stored.
Fixed and Portable instruments from GMI can provide the constant
or frequent monitoring required.
GMI Instrument:
- Purging
/ Inerting
In inert
atmospheres such as a Nitrogen purged pipeline, flammable gas
and/or oxygen are closely monitored to ensure the environment
is as required. GMI offer instuments especially for this purpose.
GMI
Instrument:
- Leak Detection
General leak surveying, typically at joins and
flanges within factory pipe network, is an area where GMI can
provide a number of fixed and portable gas instruments for the
detection of Flammable and toxic gases.
GMI Instrument:
-
Product Loss
In some processes the gas released is required
to be quantified to account for product lost in the application.
GMI Instrument:
- Plant Shutdown
During
a plant shutdown, portable gas detectors are often required
in areas where work is being carried out.
GMI Instrument:
- Permit to Work Systems
