In oil refineries and other high-risk areas prone to fire and explosion, monitoring and analyzing gas quality is a critical component for ensuring occupational safety and environmental protection. However, due to the inherent dangers of these environments, the use of automated gas chromatography systems in conjunction with specialized protective equipment is mandatory. This integrated approach is intended to ensure absolute safety throughout the monitoring and analysis process, facilitating the early detection of potential hazards and the prevention of undesirable incidents, thereby contributing to the overall safety of personnel and equipment in these areas.

Reecotech offers automated gas chromatography solutions featuring specialized protective enclosures, specifically designed for high explosion risk areas such as oil refineries. Reecotech’s gas chromatography analyzers are equipped with dedicated protective enclosures that comply with Class I, Div II, Groups C and D protection standards, thereby mitigating risks while maintaining efficient emissions monitoring.

Key Features of the Solution:

1. Emissions Monitoring in Hazardous Areas: Reecotech’s automated gas chromatography system is capable of operating effectively in hazardous environments, such as oil refineries. The use of specialized protective enclosures that meet stringent safety standards (Class I, Div II, Groups C and D) ensures that the system remains stable and safe even in explosion-prone settings.
2. Safe Inert Carrier Gas Solution: The system employs a single carrier gas, either air or nitrogen, to maintain safety in flammable environments. The carrier gas assists in adjusting the concentration within the permeation tube and establishes the pressure for the protective enclosure, thereby ensuring stable and accurate system performance.

3. Ensuring High Safety and Accuracy: Analyzers such as the airTOXIC PID are equipped with continuous gas purging technology alongside specialized protective enclosures. This configuration maintains an absolutely safe environment while ensuring high accuracy in emissions monitoring and in the detection of hazardous compounds such as sulfur and other toxic gases.
