Gas detection instrument manufacturer plc has created a high - temperature hydrogen sulphide ( hydrogen ) sensor that complements its existing technology . The new sensor is designed to work with the company 's XgardIQ fixed point detector and transmitter . detection of lethal H2S is a big safety issue at well heads and further down pipelines , but traditional sensors do not function well in hot and dry areas , reducing the risk of accidents . Crowcon 's sensor can work in temperatures of up to moderate , and retains moisture levels , preventing electrolyte evaporation , making it suitable for the Middle region 's climate .
Gas detection instrument maker Crowcon has created a high-temperature hydrogen sulphide (H2S) sensor that complements its existing technology. The new sensor is designed to work with the company's XgardIQ fixed point detector and transmitter. Detection of lethal H2S is a big safety issue at well heads and further down pipelines, but traditional sensors do not function well in hot and dry areas, raising the risk of accidents. Crowcon's sensor can work in temperatures of up to 70C, and retains moisture levels, preventing electrolyte evaporation, making it suitable for the Middle East's climate.
