Industrial Gas Detection and CO2 Measurement

Seacom Process Instruments supplies gas detection, gas measurement and alarm systems for commercial buildings, laboratories, refrigeration plants, industrial processes, biogas facilities and environmental monitoring applications.

The correct instrument depends on the target gas, concentration range, installation location, required alarm response and system interface. A process gas analyser and a personnel-safety gas detector perform different duties and must not be treated as interchangeable.

Gas Detection and Measurement Solutions

  • Fixed gas detection: Continuous monitoring of combustible, toxic, refrigerant and oxygen-related hazards with local or central alarms.
  • Carbon dioxide measurement: Room, duct, incubator, process and outdoor CO2 probes and transmitters.
  • Biogas measurement: In-situ methane, carbon dioxide and humidity measurement for raw biogas and biomethane-upgrading processes.
  • Refrigerant leak detection: Gas-specific monitoring for refrigeration machinery rooms, cold rooms and HVAC installations.
  • Air-quality monitoring: Multi-pollutant outdoor stations for gases, particulate matter and environmental parameters.
  • System integration: Analogue outputs, relays, RS-485 and Modbus options for alarm panels, PLCs, ventilation controls and building-management systems.

Information Required for Correct Selection

  • Target gas: State the exact gas or refrigerant designation; one sensor does not detect every gas.
  • Measurement purpose: Define whether the instrument is for personnel safety, leak detection, ventilation control, process measurement or environmental monitoring.
  • Range and units: Confirm the expected normal concentration, alarm levels and required units such as ppm, vol-% or %LEL.
  • Installation conditions: Provide temperature, humidity, pressure, airflow, washdown exposure and whether the area is hazardous.
  • Detector placement: Consider possible leak sources, gas density, room geometry, ventilation and occupied areas.
  • Alarm response: Define warning levels, sounders, beacons, ventilation, shutdowns, latching and reset requirements.
  • Outputs and integration: Specify relay, 4–20 mA, RS-485, Modbus, PLC or building-management-system requirements.
  • Maintenance: Plan access for calibration, bump testing, sensor replacement and periodic functional checks.

Typical Applications

  • Refrigeration and chiller machinery rooms
  • Laboratories, hospitals and gas-cylinder storage areas
  • Boiler rooms, parking facilities and industrial process plants
  • Food, beverage, fermentation and controlled-atmosphere facilities
