Gas Monitoring Systems for Detection of Ammonia Exposure Levels and Applications

Ammonia (NH3) is pungent, colorless compound that is lighter than air. Anhydrous (water-free) ammonia is easily liquefied under pressure and is extremely soluble in water. Because of its many applications, ammonia is one of the most highly produced inorganic chemicals, yet it is both caustic and hazardous. OSHA has set a limit of 25 ppm [...]

The Marcellus Shale Monitoring for Methane and other Combustible Gases in Compression Stations

Natural gas from the Marcellus Shale is a potentially vast energy resource and there are many reasons for tapping the natural gas in the shale. The supply of natural gas in the United States is more reliable than imported fossil fuels and the delivery system is less subject to interruption. Natural gas has a high [...]

The Special Challenges of Powder River Basin Coal

Many coal-fired power plants have switched from traditional high-sulfur bituminous coal to Powder River Basin (PRB) coal. PRB coal offers several advantages: it has a low sulfur content, reserves are plentiful, and it can be acquired using surface mining methods. However, the increased use of PRB coal has presented special challenges in fire prevention at [...]

Gas Detection Systems to Monitor and Control Carbon Monoxide Emissions in Enclosed Environments

Until recently, many parking garage owners and managers did not realize the detrimental effects that CO emissions from motor vehicles have on the air quality inside parking garages. Today, with increasing awareness of indoor air quality, architects and engineers in a variety of industries –from parking structures to boiler rooms to vehicle repair shops–are specifying [...]
