Here you can find your way around our products starting from the application context

Foodstuff

A number of applications are based on treatments of food preservation, such as packaging or gasing of vegetables. For example, gasing of some tuber vegetables (i.g. potatoes) prevents the growth of buds during the stocking period. In some extents, ine...

Wineries

During the production of wines and distillates, the danger of gas comes from the use of substances required for wine preservation, sterilization of tanks or containers, wine fermentation and, finally, stocking of alcohol.. GASES INVOLVED Nitrogen (...

Paper mills

Different additives, such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and, sometimes, chlorine, are used during the treatment of pulp. In thermal plants fuel, often methane, is used and there is a great amount of hydrogen sulphide in the treatment of backwate...

Heating plants

Actually, modern thermal plants have almost stopped using liquid fuels. The fuel most frequently used is methane and, to a smaller extent, liquid petroleum gas (LPG). GASES INVOLVED Methane CH4: Methane is a simple hydrocarbon and in nature it is i...

Chemistry

A lot of chemical processes need gas detectors. One of the most common applications is related to the entrance in tanks for cleaning or maintenance. Usually in these circumstances the levels of oxygen, flammable gas vapours (usually solvents are used t...

Rubbish dumps

In rubbish dumps, due to organic substances decomposition, methane, sulphured hydrogen, and carbon dioxide can be generated. Often, these gases find a way through the layers of ground up to reclaimed areas where there might be buildings. GASES INVOL...

Oil refining systems

Crude oil, during the extraction phase, is always rich in light hydrocarbons and often in sulphured hydrogen. Methane does not get wasted, but is collected in pipes to be depurated and distributed. These applications are usually carried out in the sea...

Chemical labs

In a chemical lab explosive organic diluents are usually used and stored. The use of these substances makes the environment exposed to the risk of explosion or fire. In general these flammable gases are used to catalyze chemical reactions. In other dep...

Tanks

Even when they look clean, tanks can be dangerous; for instance, the presence of water inside might produce corrosion, which will decrease the level of oxygen and produce hydrogen, which is a flammable gas. They might, as well, contain traces of the su...

Draining water treatment and depuration

The access to drains and drainage canals is dangerous for the lack of oxygen, methane and sulphured hydrogen. Mud digester: mud digesters can be considered “methane producers” where the crude reflowing water biodegrades producing high levels of methane...

Industrial kitchens

Actually, modern industrial kitchens have almost stopped using liquid fuels, but methane or, to a smaller extent, liquid petroleum gas (LPG). GASES INVOLVED Methane CH4: during the whole operation life of a kitchen, both when operating or standstil...

Fuel storage

On these premises, the main activity is the first cause of hazard. In fact, if fuels spill out of their containers, they and their vapours represent a top-grade danger of flammability so that they can be triggered off even by the smallest energy source...

Gas stores and filling stations

In these particular places, the object of the activity is the most important danger: as a matter of fact, fuel vapours originated during the filling phase are easily (also with a spark) and highly flammable. GASES INVOLVED LPG (C3H8): used as a fue...

Drinkable water disinfection

In these systems the danger is linked to the use of chlorine to purify water. There are many different supplying resources: underground, superficial, or brackish water, if properly treated. In most aqueducts water is disinfected. Disinfection always im...

Pharmaceutics

In the production of pharmaceuticals chemical substances are used in different conditions and circumstances: In a chemical lab flammable organic solvents are used and stored. These spaces are at high risk of explosion or fire. In the process of pre...

Fertilizers

Besides being substances enriched with Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potassium, the basic material used comes from animal faeces. In their processing, the most hazardous gas is ammonia which develops in big quantities during the first period of seasoning, wh...

Galvanic plants

Galvanic processes include a so-called “pickling” step where pieces under treatment are polished: this processing makes use of acids. Another process where hazardous substances are used is the degreasing one, where not only pieces under treatment but a...

Gas pipelines

An obvious application is detection of flammable gases. Danger is there where leaks from the main net or joints require operators to enter narrow rooms for maintenance works. Gas pipelines may leak in areas where operators must enter for maintenance pu...

Hangars

The big amount of fuel contained in every aircraft make a closed room like and hangar a dangerous place in case of leakage from aircraft tanks. GASES INVOLVED Kereosene: intermediate hydrocarbon fraction ranging between petrol and Diesel oil, got b...

Refrigerating plants

In plants where foodstuff are produced and stocked, where primary or finished products need to be preserved at a controlled temperature, the most common cooling liquid is ammonia. It is big plants where other fluids would not enable to use such high po...

Metallurgy and Iron metallurgy

The heated chemical reaction between pyrite and coal in order to produce steel engenders many risks gas wise. In the blast furnaces coke is used as fuel and releases a highly toxic gas: cokery gas. This gas contains monoxide of carbon, sulphured hydrog...

Hospitals

The most used gases in therapies and surgery are oxygen and nitrogen protoxide. The first one can be excessively present, either because of a hyperbaric chamber, or because of a leak from the normal distribution system. The second one is a common anaes...

Underground parking lots

In the underground parking lots with artificial ventilation, toxic or dangerous conditions can be created. GASES INVOLVED Petrol vapours (C6H14 – C8H18): petrol is usually a mix of paraffin hydrocarbons like hexane and octane in vari...

Beer brew

In the production of beer the most considerable gas is carbon dioxide. Besides being a product of fermentation, it is also used to preserve the quality of products. Not to forget that several times fermentation and stocking are carried out in tanks, va...

Polyurethane Manufactures

In the manufacturing process of polyurethane foam and similar substances, pentane is the basic element. GASES INVOLVED Pentane (C5H12): big amounts of this substance are used in production processes, and it is released by finished products during 1...

Accumulator recharge

Recharging accumulators of electric drive carriages involves a risk of fire-explosion. In fact, when recharging, the delivery of electric current determines an electrolyse process where hydrogen develops. Also, strong acids contained in the battery eva...

Welding plants

In every activity of metallic carpentry or any other activity that needs welding, the presence of flammable gases is necessary. The most used are acetylene and propane and other gases with a different commercial name containing additives for a better p...

Underground

Every operation to be carried out underground requires suitable protection and safety devices to safeguard operators from gases that may be there. GASES INVOLVED Oxygen (O2): in a limited area, often remaining closed for years, lack of oxygen is hi...

Sprays

In productions of sprays the most common propellant used is propane GASES INVOLVED Propane (C3H8): it is usually contained in big tanks for ordinary production. EXPECTED RISKS C3H8: used as a fuel, LPG is a mixture of propane and butane, which is...

Textile industry

During the different manufacture steps, important amounts of hydrogen sulphide may be created which, due to leaks, can create explosive mixtures mainly generated by methane that is normally found in big quantities in this type of activity. GASES INV...

Thermal treatment of metals

GASES INVOLVED Flammable gases: different solvents are used to clean machines and matching metals depending on the result required.Carbon oxide (CO): thermal treatments (metal hardening and tempering) generally take place in carbon-oxide-based control...
