Pellistor Sensors

Pellistor sensors (or catalytic bead sensors) have been the primary technology for detecting flammable gases since the ‘60s. Despite having discussed a number of issues relating to the detection of flammable gases and VOC, we have not yet looked at how pellistors work. To make up for this, we are including a video explanation, which we hope you will download and use as part of any training you are conducting:

Flame Detection

There are two very distinct flame detection families that are used within the Oil and Gas Industry: (1) Radiation Flame Detectors which consists; Ultraviolet, Single Frequency Infrared, Combination UV/IR, and Multiple Frequency Infrared and (2) Visual Flame Detectors Consisting; Visual Flame.Visual Flame Detectors, are based on a near IR CCTV camera with flame detection recognition algorithms built into the detector.

Photoionization Sensors

Photoionization detectors are very fast to respond. They detect many gases that the Broad Range Electrochemical sensor cannot such as benzene, ammonia, acetone, formaldehyde, etc. Their main applications range from confined space entry to protection of the environment. These detectors are not specific and will respond to all gases that have different ionization potentials to the lamp output.

AVS Equipment in GRP

The use of GRP materials has the last decades grown substantially in Europe and connected markets due to the benefits. GRP has been recognized in the O&G market as a substitute of Stainless steel due to the resistance of harsh environment conditions as well as savings of weight and cost.GRP is also fare more favorable than use of aluminum, especially when it comes to casting from primary and secondary alloys.
