3 reasons to use SENTRO X in oil refineries

Working with high volumes of oil in refineries inevitably can lead to gas exposure in the workplace. Most oil refineries use a systematic process which involves several key parts which converts oil into various usable product. 

Throughout the process, the oil is firstly distilled and separated based on its boiling point, then is converted depending on the size of the molecule through either cracking or reforming and finally is treated through either hydrotreatment or hydrocracking. These processes work to transform oil into multiple usable products. 

In this process, as oil is converted into various products, with varying boiling points, range, density, etc. meaning that exposure to hazardous gas is likely for the workers throughout the different stages of the process. Effective gas detection can help to protect workers from exposure to dangerous levels

Exposure to hazardous gases can happen at any time, during any stage of the oil refinery process. Consistent monitoring of each process, alongside sources such as boilers, furnaces and cracking units are essential to ensure workers are protected. SENTRO X is lightweight and easily installable nature which means it can be fitted nearby each process at ease, with a simple power-up routine, so you’re always detecting gas. 

Highly flammable gases such as Hydrogen and Methane are commonly formed as a byproduct of the refinery process. These gases not only present a health risk to exposed workers but also demonstrates a wider physical risk across the entire workplace. With optional A/V alarms, ingress protected to IP65, alongside an audio warnings, SENTRO X provides reliable alerts of exposure to flammable gases.
