The Value of Gas Detection in Power Industry
The power industry is an essential component of our modern world, supplying energy to industrial, commercial, and residential customers around the globe. However, with the inclusion of fossil fuel industries, electricity generation, nuclear energy, and renewable energy, the power generation sector is faced with several potential gas hazards. Gas detection systems have been extensively installed in the power industry to minimize potential consequences through the detection of gas exposure.

Carbon monoxide
Is a toxic and flammable gas generated in large volumes in coal power plants. It emanates from boiler casing leaks and smoldering coal, and it is vital to monitor CO in coal tunnels, bunkers, hoppers, and tipper rooms. Hydrogen is another gas hazard that poses a real risk of fire if it leaks. Hydrogen burns with a pale blue, almost invisible flame that can cause serious injuries and severe equipment damage. Therefore, it is important to monitor hydrogen to prevent seal-oil system fires, and unscheduled shutdowns, and to protect personnel from fire.
In addition to the gas hazards mentioned earlier, the power industry also faces several other harmful mining gases. For instance, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are released during the combustion of fossil fuels, leading to acid rain, smog, and respiratory problems. Methane (CH4) is another gas hazard released during coal mining, and it is a potent greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. These gas hazards pose significant threats to the environment and public health, making gas detection systems even more essential in the power industry.
Confined space entry (CSE)
Is often considered a dangerous type of work performed in power generation. Lack of oxygen, and toxic and flammable gases are risks that can occur during work in confined spaces, which should never be considered as simple or routine. However, the hazards of working in confined spaces can be predicted, monitored, and mitigated through the use of portable gas detection devices.
