Challenge

Most industries have an ongoing need for gas in liquid or compressed form. This requires good follow-up routines as the consequences of running out of gas also involve production stoppages and other potential operational challenges.

Additionally, leaks in the facility will cause gas cylinders to empty faster, and air may also enter the system, leading to process-related issues. Overall, monitoring gas facilities with wireless sensors can provide an effective and reliable solution to ensure safe operation and handling of gases in various industrial environments

Solution

• With our Neuron Gauge Pressure sensor, pressure level up to 250 bar can be monitored. The sensor comes in a robust, compact stainless-steel housing with an external radio transmitter. The integrated battery ensures up to 10 years of battery life.
• The sensor measures the pressure of liquid or gas relative to ambient atmospheric pressure with an accuracy of +- 0.5% of full scale.
• If monitoring is required in an Ex-zone (Hazardous gases), an approved transmitter and barrier must be used in combination with our mA Digitizer, which converts the analogue signal into a digital measurement.
• The digital output signal can be configured in the app depending on user needs, where, for example, 4 mA can represent 0 Bar and 20 mA can represent 200 Bar. The sensor provides an accuracy of up to 0.1% of full scale and a resolution of up to 0.003 mA.

Here are some of the key elements of monitoring gas facilities with wireless sensors:

What you get

1. Easy installation: Wireless sensors do not require complex cable routing, reducing installation time and costs. This also makes it easier to install sensors in locations that may be difficult to access or where it is not possible to run cables.
2. Continuous monitoring: Wireless sensors can provide continuous real-time monitoring of gas levels. This enables the detection and management of potential issues such as leaks, helping to prevent downtime.
3. Remote monitoring and alerting: Connected to a monitoring system that allows remote monitoring via computers or mobile devices. This enables responsible individuals to receive alerts immediately if gas levels are too low, even if they are not physically present on-site. When the gas level passes a defined minimum threshold, notifications are sent via email and/ or SMS.
4. Data collection and analysis: Wireless sensors can collect large amounts of data on gas levels over time. This information can be used to analyze trends and optimize operational processes to improve safety and efficiency.
5. Lower maintenance costs: Wireless sensors typically require less maintenance than traditional wired systems since there is noneed to regularly inspect or replace cables. This can help reduce operating costs over time.
6. Integration with existing systems: Wireless gas sensors can often be integrated with existing monitoring systems or automated processes, making it easier to implement them into already established facilities or infrastructures.
