A gas leak is extremely hazardous as it can cause harm to workers, buildings and the environment. Identifying gas leaks can help to reduce these risks, which is why when a gas leak is found, it must be dealt with immediately. In some instances, if a gas leak is left for a prolonged time, it can be fatal.
The presence of leaks is a prevalent issue for aging gas distribution systems across the globe. These events, if not detected in time, may bring environmental and health hazards, as well as economic losses. Therefore, the development of efficient detection, quantification, and localisation methods is crucial to all gas companies worldwide.
Gas leaks can significantly affect day-to-day operations, your workforce and may even cause stock damage, which will be costly for your business. Commercial gas leak detection requires specialist equipment, which is why it’s important for businesses to have the equipment needed to detect gas leaks. Without specialist equipment and knowledge, the only method of identifying a leak is through destructive access, which will be disruptive to your business. In some instances, a leak in the workplace can also be financially worse than at home.
Natural gas is frequently considered the safest and cleanest fossil fuel. However, if there is an undetected gas leak, it can be extremely dangerous. Since it is odorless, colorless and tasteless, it can be challenging to detect, especially in large commercial spaces. Therefore, it is important to recognise the signs of a potential gas leak:
Natural gas is frequently detected using catalytic (Pellistor) or infrared (NDIR) sensors. Pellistor/Cat Bead sensors use temperature differences between two beads to detect a natural gas leak; whereas, infrared sensors use infrared light. This is done through infrared light being absorbed in specific wavelengths by dangerous gases.
