Bently Nevada 350800-01-180 Hazardous Gas Sensor

Applications

• Installed in refinery process units to monitor hydrocarbon gas leakage near equipment skids

• Gas detection in compressor stations and pipeline valve areas

• Used in LNG facilities and fuel handling zones where leak risk must be continuously controlled

• Enclosed electrical rooms and analyzer shelters requiring early warning of gas accumulation

• Petrochemical plants around reactors, separators, and transfer lines

• Power plant auxiliary buildings where ventilation and safety interlocks depend on gas levels

• Confined industrial spaces such as pits, trenches, and underground service corridors

• Integrated into plant safety shutdown strategies for high-risk production areas

Key Advantages

• Continuous monitoring designed for long-term industrial safety operation

• Fast response behavior helps operators react early to gas leakage conditions

• Built for harsh plant environments with temperature and humidity variation

• Stable output signal suitable for safety system integration

• Can be tied into alarm and interlock logic for automatic protection actions

• Reduces reliance on manual inspection in hazardous areas

• Rugged construction supports industrial field installation

• Designed for use in critical safety zones where downtime is unacceptable
