How to Choose the Right Gas-Leak Detection System for Your Facility
Introduction
Gas leaks pose serious safety risks in industrial environments, from sudden explosions to toxic exposure. These hazards are often invisible and can escalate quickly if undetected. Choosing the right gas-leak detection system for your facility is crucial to safeguard workers, protect assets, and comply with regulations.
With a variety of detection technologies and products available, selecting the best solution depends on your facility’s unique requirements. This guide will help you understand the types of gas-leak detection systems, when and where to use them, and how to select the right system with reference to ESPM SENSE’s comprehensive product range.
What Is a Gas-Leak Detection System?
A gas-leak detection system continuously monitors air quality for hazardous gases and alerts personnel if dangerous levels are detected.
These systems come primarily in two forms:
Fixed Gas Detection Systems: Permanently installed at key locations for ongoing surveillance. Best For Continuous monitoring in permanent areas like storage rooms, process units, and confined spaces.
Portable Gas Detectors: Temporary or mobile monitoring during inspections, maintenance, confined space entry, and emergencies.
By identifying potentially dangerous gases and changes in oxygen levels, these systems provide early warnings that help prevent accidents and maintain safe operations.
Key Benefits of Gas-Leak Detection for Compliance
Each facility has distinct risks depending on processes, materials, and layout. Using the wrong detection system may leave critical areas unmonitored or cause false alarms, leading to unsafe conditions or operational disruptions.
The right system provides:
When to Use Fixed vs Portable Gas Detectors in Your Workplace
Fixed Gas-Leak Detection System
ESPM SENSE’s FGD-X and FGD-X LP detectors offer precise, reliable single-gas detection with flexible deployment options and long-term stability—ideal for permanent facility coverage. The FGD serves as a cost-effective, dedicated single-gas detector where multi-gas coverage is not required.
