Gas detection and plant alarms
We offer fixed systems for detecting flammable and toxic gases and monitoring oxygen concentration. Detectors, evaluation, local alarms and plant interfaces are developed as one functional package.
Operating context
The whole application matters.
The brief starts with the substances involved, potential release locations and the required plant response. We assess the monitored areas, air movement, access for sensor maintenance and environmental conditions. These inputs define detector locations, power supplies, signal paths and the connection to operators or process control.
Scope of the solution
- Detectors, gas detection panels, power supplies and audible or visual alarms.
- Measurement-point layouts, cabling and interfaces to supervisory systems.
- Alarm definitions, process interlocks and maintenance modes to the project brief.
- Commissioning, functional tests, service and calibration coordination for the selected equipment.
Engineering priorities
From operating need to design.
01A sensor suited to the duty
The measurement principle, range and construction are selected for the gas, interfering substances, temperature and humidity. The design also considers sensor service life, access for testing and any requirement for equipment suitable for an explosive atmosphere.
02From alarm to action
We establish the meaning of operating and fault states with the operator, together with interfaces to ventilation, isolation or the control room. Automatic actions follow an approved functional specification, including behaviour when power or communication is lost.
03Verification and ongoing operation
Handover includes agreed checks of sensors, signal transmission and alarm interfaces. Subsequent checks follow the equipment requirements, manufacturer instructions and actual service conditions. Test results, settings and identified defects are recorded for maintenance planning.

Before we start
Questions that shape the project.
Can detection be added to an operating plant?+
Yes, after checking access, power and system interfaces. The extension is defined around the installed condition and the response required from the plant.
