Crowcons New LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 Detects Methane Leaks from up to 100 Metres away in Seconds

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched its new LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector Designed specifically to detect methane at distance of up to 100 metres in seconds the ATEX approved second generation LMm is changing the way methane leaks are detected What used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure is now quick and easy Official Media Partner

The LMm is very easy to operate By pointing the devices laser beam towards a suspected leak or survey line such as a gas pipe or ceiling the concentration of methane is measured by detecting the difference between the light emitted and the light received

The device uses an innovative laser diode tuned specifically to the characteristics of methane and the level is displayed on the ppmm readout On start-up the instrument performs a self check and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by Supportersreferencing an inbuilt methane cell This ensures consistent high performance accuracy and reliability

A TEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas for on-plant use in M2 mining applications as well as detecting escapes in hard to reach or inaccessible areas Contingencysuch as roof spaces pipelines crossing rivers or roads fenced enclosures and landfill sites TodaycomThis means there is no longer a need for personnel to put themselves at risk by entering suspected escape areas

Not just portable but truly handheld the LMm weighs just 600g (1 3Ibs) including the battery and measures just 70mm x 179mm x 42mm (28 x 7 x 16 inches) Features include a full colour numeric or graphical display audio and visual alarms six hours minimum

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY lt -shy - IS YOUR GAS DETECTOR

~ ~~l RIGHT FOR THE JOB Working in confined

) best of times Operators ~ often have to wear full

PPE (personal protective equipment) are usually harnessed and may be carrying tools and

equipment to complete the task in hand (eg

welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry about is his or her gas detector It should be designed specifically for confined space entry (CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

According to the UKs Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space means any place including any chamber tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue well or other similar space in which by virtue of its enclosed nawre there arises a reasonably foreseeable risk

This definition covers just about any industrial activity but is especially applicable to the utilities industries (water and wastewater electricity telecommunications and gas) construction hydrocarbon exploration and processing petrochemicals marine applications agriculture food processing wine making and brewing as well as emergency services

While the best advice is ifat all possible to avoid entering confined spaces this is obviously not always an option In the above mentioned industries there will always be occasions when workers or emergency services personnel need to enter potentially dangerous areas to carry out inspections routine maintenance perform emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment required for CSE environments and the supply industry is well developed with a plethora of PPE and safety equipment available The one area of CSE where improvement is needed and where compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or models with parasitiC pumps which are easily lost or damaged Handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than being suitable for CSE work

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

With this feedback in mind Crowcon went back to the drawing board The result is Gas-Pro a design perfectly suited for CSE applications to comply with hazardous area and health and safety standards

Specific CSE features of the new Gas-Pro include bull It is compact and comparable in size to leading frontshy

mount diffusion detectors It is designed so as not to get in the way of other PPE and accessories and not interfere with the workers primary activity

bull It has a bright clear top-mount display that can be read at a glance without having to even touch the detectorA dual colour backlight adds an extra level of alert should the Gas-Pro enter alarm status

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons New LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 Detects Methane Leaks from up to 100 Metres away in Seconds

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched its new LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector Designed specifically to detect methane at distance of up to 100 metres in seconds the ATEX approved second generation LMm is changing the way methane leaks are detected What used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure is now quick and easy Official Media Partner

The LMm is very easy to operate By pointing the devices laser beam towards a suspected leak or survey line such as a gas pipe or ceiling the concentration of methane is measured by detecting the difference between the light emitted and the light received

The device uses an innovative laser diode tuned specifically to the characteristics of methane and the level is displayed on the ppmm readout On start-up the instrument performs a self check and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by Supportersreferencing an inbuilt methane cell This ensures consistent high performance accuracy and reliability

A TEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas for on-plant use in M2 mining applications as well as detecting escapes in hard to reach or inaccessible areas Contingencysuch as roof spaces pipelines crossing rivers or roads fenced enclosures and landfill sites TodaycomThis means there is no longer a need for personnel to put themselves at risk by entering suspected escape areas

Not just portable but truly handheld the LMm weighs just 600g (1 3Ibs) including the battery and measures just 70mm x 179mm x 42mm (28 x 7 x 16 inches) Features include a full colour numeric or graphical display audio and visual alarms six hours minimum

According to the UKs Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space means any place including any chamber tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue well or other similar space in which by virtue of its enclosed nawre there arises a reasonably foreseeable risk

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

With this feedback in mind Crowcon went back to the drawing board The result is Gas-Pro a design perfectly suited for CSE applications to comply with hazardous area and health and safety standards

Specific CSE features of the new Gas-Pro include bull It is compact and comparable in size to leading frontshy

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

confined spaces this is not

always an option In some industries there will aJways be occasions when workers or

emergency services personnel need to enter

potentially dangerous areas to carry out

inspections routine maintenance perform

emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment

required for CSE environments and the

supply industry is well developed with a

plethora of PPE and safety equipment

available The one area of CSE where

improvement is needed and where

compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

status indicalion l giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump)

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons Xgard IR infrared (IR) gas detector is now approved to the latest amendment of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED 9698EC) This means the low cost detector can be used to detect flammable gases and vapour hazards on tankers drilling ships FPSOs dive vessels coastguard vessels ferries and other marine vessels

Applications for the Xgard IR include pump rooms and monitoring leaks in storage tanks pipes and valves It provides fast early warning of gas accumulations before concentrations reach flammable levels Detection is in the range 0 - 100 LEl

Unlike conventional sensors (such as catalytic pellistors) the Xgard IRs sensor is immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other benefits too unlike pellistors IR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion resistance in the most extreme marine environments The sensor which has a life expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATEX IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is also Exd flameproof rated

The standard junction box is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting and four cable gland options ensure compatibility on any site The detector takes a range of accessories for harsh or wet conditions and for remote sampling

Crowcons New LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 Detects Methane Leaks from up to 100 Metres away in Seconds

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched its new LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector Designed specifically to detect methane at distance of up to 100 metres in seconds the ATEX approved second generation LMm is changing the way methane leaks are detected What used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure is now quick and easy Official Media Partner

The LMm is very easy to operate By pointing the devices laser beam towards a suspected leak or survey line such as a gas pipe or ceiling the concentration of methane is measured by detecting the difference between the light emitted and the light received

The device uses an innovative laser diode tuned specifically to the characteristics of methane and the level is displayed on the ppmm readout On start-up the instrument performs a self check and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by Supportersreferencing an inbuilt methane cell This ensures consistent high performance accuracy and reliability

A TEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas for on-plant use in M2 mining applications as well as detecting escapes in hard to reach or inaccessible areas Contingencysuch as roof spaces pipelines crossing rivers or roads fenced enclosures and landfill sites TodaycomThis means there is no longer a need for personnel to put themselves at risk by entering suspected escape areas

Not just portable but truly handheld the LMm weighs just 600g (1 3Ibs) including the battery and measures just 70mm x 179mm x 42mm (28 x 7 x 16 inches) Features include a full colour numeric or graphical display audio and visual alarms six hours minimum

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

confined spaces this is not

always an option In some industries there will aJways be occasions when workers or

emergency services personnel need to enter

potentially dangerous areas to carry out

inspections routine maintenance perform

emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment

required for CSE environments and the

supply industry is well developed with a

plethora of PPE and safety equipment

available The one area of CSE where

improvement is needed and where

compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

released to ensure worker safety The

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

status indicalion l giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump)

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons Xgard I R Gas detector now Approved to latest amendment of Marine Equipment Directive

Mar 302011

Crowcons Xgard IR infrared (IR) gas detector is now approved to the latest amendment of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED 9698EC) This means the low cost detector can be used to detect flammable gases and vapour hazards on tankers drilling ships FPSOs dive vessels coastguard vessels ferries and other marine vessels

Applications for the Xgard IR include pump rooms and monitoring leaks in storage tanks pipes and valves It provides fast early warning of gas accumulations before concentrations reach flammable levels Detection is in the range 0 - 100 LEl

Unlike conventional sensors (such as catalytic pellistors) the Xgard IRs sensor is immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other benefits too unlike pellistors IR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion resistance in the most extreme marine environments The sensor which has a life expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATEX IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is also Exd flameproof rated

The standard junction box is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting and four cable gland options ensure compatibility on any site The detector takes a range of accessories for harsh or wet conditions and for remote sampling

Crowcons New LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 Detects Methane Leaks from up to 100 Metres away in Seconds

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched its new LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector Designed specifically to detect methane at distance of up to 100 metres in seconds the ATEX approved second generation LMm is changing the way methane leaks are detected What used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure is now quick and easy Official Media Partner

The LMm is very easy to operate By pointing the devices laser beam towards a suspected leak or survey line such as a gas pipe or ceiling the concentration of methane is measured by detecting the difference between the light emitted and the light received

The device uses an innovative laser diode tuned specifically to the characteristics of methane and the level is displayed on the ppmm readout On start-up the instrument performs a self check and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by Supportersreferencing an inbuilt methane cell This ensures consistent high performance accuracy and reliability

A TEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas for on-plant use in M2 mining applications as well as detecting escapes in hard to reach or inaccessible areas Contingencysuch as roof spaces pipelines crossing rivers or roads fenced enclosures and landfill sites TodaycomThis means there is no longer a need for personnel to put themselves at risk by entering suspected escape areas

Not just portable but truly handheld the LMm weighs just 600g (1 3Ibs) including the battery and measures just 70mm x 179mm x 42mm (28 x 7 x 16 inches) Features include a full colour numeric or graphical display audio and visual alarms six hours minimum

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY lt -shy - IS YOUR GAS DETECTOR

~ ~~l RIGHT FOR THE JOB Working in confined

spaces is difficult at the

) best of times Operators ~ often have to wear full

PPE (personal protective equipment) are usually harnessed and may be carrying tools and

~-

equipment to complete the task in hand (eg

welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry about is his or her gas detector It should be designed specifically for confined space entry (CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

According to the UKs Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space means any place including any chamber tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue well or other similar space in which by virtue of its enclosed nawre there arises a reasonably foreseeable risk

This definition covers just about any industrial activity but is especially applicable to the utilities industries (water and wastewater electricity telecommunications and gas) construction hydrocarbon exploration and processing petrochemicals marine applications agriculture food processing wine making and brewing as well as emergency services

While the best advice is ifat all possible to avoid entering confined spaces this is obviously not always an option In the above mentioned industries there will always be occasions when workers or emergency services personnel need to enter potentially dangerous areas to carry out inspections routine maintenance perform emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment required for CSE environments and the supply industry is well developed with a plethora of PPE and safety equipment available The one area of CSE where improvement is needed and where compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or models with parasitiC pumps which are easily lost or damaged Handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than being suitable for CSE work

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

With this feedback in mind Crowcon went back to the drawing board The result is Gas-Pro a design perfectly suited for CSE applications to comply with hazardous area and health and safety standards

Specific CSE features of the new Gas-Pro include bull It is compact and comparable in size to leading frontshy

mount diffusion detectors It is designed so as not to get in the way of other PPE and accessories and not interfere with the workers primary activity

bull It has a bright clear top-mount display that can be read at a glance without having to even touch the detectorA dual colour backlight adds an extra level of alert should the Gas-Pro enter alarm status

bull An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be done quickly and easilyThis also keeps the size of the detector small and removes the problems of poor sealing or the need for extra equipment and chargers associated with parasitic pumps +ve SafetyTM - The status of detectors is becoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety execlltives around the world (OSHA HSE Safework Australia to name but a few) are introducing and making more stringent the guidelines and regulations released to ensure worker safety Unique to the Gas-Pro +ve SafetyTM provides tri-colour status indication giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump) calibration over range and recent alarm notification Not only is +ve SafetyTM flexible enough to meet individual company regulations but the indication light is visible to all offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike standard bump test indications or confidence flashes - shy

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

confined spaces this is not

always an option In some industries there will aJways be occasions when workers or

emergency services personnel need to enter

potentially dangerous areas to carry out

inspections routine maintenance perform

emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment

required for CSE environments and the

supply industry is well developed with a

plethora of PPE and safety equipment

available The one area of CSE where

improvement is needed and where

compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

released to ensure worker safety The

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

status indicalion l giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump)

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons New LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 Detects Methane Leaks from up to 100 Metres away in Seconds

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched its new LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector Designed specifically to detect methane at distance of up to 100 metres in seconds the ATEX approved second generation LMm is changing the way methane leaks are detected What used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure is now quick and easy Official Media Partner

The LMm is very easy to operate By pointing the devices laser beam towards a suspected leak or survey line such as a gas pipe or ceiling the concentration of methane is measured by detecting the difference between the light emitted and the light received

The device uses an innovative laser diode tuned specifically to the characteristics of methane and the level is displayed on the ppmm readout On start-up the instrument performs a self check and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by Supportersreferencing an inbuilt methane cell This ensures consistent high performance accuracy and reliability

A TEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas for on-plant use in M2 mining applications as well as detecting escapes in hard to reach or inaccessible areas Contingencysuch as roof spaces pipelines crossing rivers or roads fenced enclosures and landfill sites TodaycomThis means there is no longer a need for personnel to put themselves at risk by entering suspected escape areas

Not just portable but truly handheld the LMm weighs just 600g (1 3Ibs) including the battery and measures just 70mm x 179mm x 42mm (28 x 7 x 16 inches) Features include a full colour numeric or graphical display audio and visual alarms six hours minimum

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY lt -shy - IS YOUR GAS DETECTOR

~ ~~l RIGHT FOR THE JOB Working in confined

spaces is difficult at the

) best of times Operators ~ often have to wear full

PPE (personal protective equipment) are usually harnessed and may be carrying tools and

~-

equipment to complete the task in hand (eg

welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry about is his or her gas detector It should be designed specifically for confined space entry (CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

According to the UKs Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space means any place including any chamber tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue well or other similar space in which by virtue of its enclosed nawre there arises a reasonably foreseeable risk

This definition covers just about any industrial activity but is especially applicable to the utilities industries (water and wastewater electricity telecommunications and gas) construction hydrocarbon exploration and processing petrochemicals marine applications agriculture food processing wine making and brewing as well as emergency services

While the best advice is ifat all possible to avoid entering confined spaces this is obviously not always an option In the above mentioned industries there will always be occasions when workers or emergency services personnel need to enter potentially dangerous areas to carry out inspections routine maintenance perform emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment required for CSE environments and the supply industry is well developed with a plethora of PPE and safety equipment available The one area of CSE where improvement is needed and where compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or models with parasitiC pumps which are easily lost or damaged Handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than being suitable for CSE work

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

With this feedback in mind Crowcon went back to the drawing board The result is Gas-Pro a design perfectly suited for CSE applications to comply with hazardous area and health and safety standards

Specific CSE features of the new Gas-Pro include bull It is compact and comparable in size to leading frontshy

mount diffusion detectors It is designed so as not to get in the way of other PPE and accessories and not interfere with the workers primary activity

bull It has a bright clear top-mount display that can be read at a glance without having to even touch the detectorA dual colour backlight adds an extra level of alert should the Gas-Pro enter alarm status

bull An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be done quickly and easilyThis also keeps the size of the detector small and removes the problems of poor sealing or the need for extra equipment and chargers associated with parasitic pumps +ve SafetyTM - The status of detectors is becoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety execlltives around the world (OSHA HSE Safework Australia to name but a few) are introducing and making more stringent the guidelines and regulations released to ensure worker safety Unique to the Gas-Pro +ve SafetyTM provides tri-colour status indication giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump) calibration over range and recent alarm notification Not only is +ve SafetyTM flexible enough to meet individual company regulations but the indication light is visible to all offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike standard bump test indications or confidence flashes - shy

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons New LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 Detects Methane Leaks from up to 100 Metres away in Seconds

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched its new LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector Designed specifically to detect methane at distance of up to 100 metres in seconds the ATEX approved second generation LMm is changing the way methane leaks are detected What used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure is now quick and easy Official Media Partner

The LMm is very easy to operate By pointing the devices laser beam towards a suspected leak or survey line such as a gas pipe or ceiling the concentration of methane is measured by detecting the difference between the light emitted and the light received

The device uses an innovative laser diode tuned specifically to the characteristics of methane and the level is displayed on the ppmm readout On start-up the instrument performs a self check and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by Supportersreferencing an inbuilt methane cell This ensures consistent high performance accuracy and reliability

A TEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas for on-plant use in M2 mining applications as well as detecting escapes in hard to reach or inaccessible areas Contingencysuch as roof spaces pipelines crossing rivers or roads fenced enclosures and landfill sites TodaycomThis means there is no longer a need for personnel to put themselves at risk by entering suspected escape areas

Not just portable but truly handheld the LMm weighs just 600g (1 3Ibs) including the battery and measures just 70mm x 179mm x 42mm (28 x 7 x 16 inches) Features include a full colour numeric or graphical display audio and visual alarms six hours minimum

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY lt -shy - IS YOUR GAS DETECTOR

~ ~~l RIGHT FOR THE JOB Working in confined

spaces is difficult at the

) best of times Operators ~ often have to wear full

PPE (personal protective equipment) are usually harnessed and may be carrying tools and

~-

equipment to complete the task in hand (eg

welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry about is his or her gas detector It should be designed specifically for confined space entry (CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

According to the UKs Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space means any place including any chamber tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue well or other similar space in which by virtue of its enclosed nawre there arises a reasonably foreseeable risk

This definition covers just about any industrial activity but is especially applicable to the utilities industries (water and wastewater electricity telecommunications and gas) construction hydrocarbon exploration and processing petrochemicals marine applications agriculture food processing wine making and brewing as well as emergency services

While the best advice is ifat all possible to avoid entering confined spaces this is obviously not always an option In the above mentioned industries there will always be occasions when workers or emergency services personnel need to enter potentially dangerous areas to carry out inspections routine maintenance perform emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment required for CSE environments and the supply industry is well developed with a plethora of PPE and safety equipment available The one area of CSE where improvement is needed and where compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or models with parasitiC pumps which are easily lost or damaged Handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than being suitable for CSE work

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

With this feedback in mind Crowcon went back to the drawing board The result is Gas-Pro a design perfectly suited for CSE applications to comply with hazardous area and health and safety standards

Specific CSE features of the new Gas-Pro include bull It is compact and comparable in size to leading frontshy

mount diffusion detectors It is designed so as not to get in the way of other PPE and accessories and not interfere with the workers primary activity

bull It has a bright clear top-mount display that can be read at a glance without having to even touch the detectorA dual colour backlight adds an extra level of alert should the Gas-Pro enter alarm status

bull An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be done quickly and easilyThis also keeps the size of the detector small and removes the problems of poor sealing or the need for extra equipment and chargers associated with parasitic pumps +ve SafetyTM - The status of detectors is becoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety execlltives around the world (OSHA HSE Safework Australia to name but a few) are introducing and making more stringent the guidelines and regulations released to ensure worker safety Unique to the Gas-Pro +ve SafetyTM provides tri-colour status indication giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump) calibration over range and recent alarm notification Not only is +ve SafetyTM flexible enough to meet individual company regulations but the indication light is visible to all offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike standard bump test indications or confidence flashes - shy

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

released to ensure worker safety The

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

status indicalion l giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump)

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons Xgard I R Gas detector now Approved to latest amendment of Marine Equipment Directive

Mar 302011

Crowcons Xgard IR infrared (IR) gas detector is now approved to the latest amendment of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED 9698EC) This means the low cost detector can be used to detect flammable gases and vapour hazards on tankers drilling ships FPSOs dive vessels coastguard vessels ferries and other marine vessels

Applications for the Xgard IR include pump rooms and monitoring leaks in storage tanks pipes and valves It provides fast early warning of gas accumulations before concentrations reach flammable levels Detection is in the range 0 - 100 LEl

Unlike conventional sensors (such as catalytic pellistors) the Xgard IRs sensor is immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other benefits too unlike pellistors IR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion resistance in the most extreme marine environments The sensor which has a life expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATEX IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is also Exd flameproof rated

The standard junction box is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting and four cable gland options ensure compatibility on any site The detector takes a range of accessories for harsh or wet conditions and for remote sampling

Crowcons New LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 Detects Methane Leaks from up to 100 Metres away in Seconds

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched its new LaserMethanereg mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector Designed specifically to detect methane at distance of up to 100 metres in seconds the ATEX approved second generation LMm is changing the way methane leaks are detected What used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure is now quick and easy Official Media Partner

The LMm is very easy to operate By pointing the devices laser beam towards a suspected leak or survey line such as a gas pipe or ceiling the concentration of methane is measured by detecting the difference between the light emitted and the light received

The device uses an innovative laser diode tuned specifically to the characteristics of methane and the level is displayed on the ppmm readout On start-up the instrument performs a self check and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by Supportersreferencing an inbuilt methane cell This ensures consistent high performance accuracy and reliability

A TEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas for on-plant use in M2 mining applications as well as detecting escapes in hard to reach or inaccessible areas Contingencysuch as roof spaces pipelines crossing rivers or roads fenced enclosures and landfill sites TodaycomThis means there is no longer a need for personnel to put themselves at risk by entering suspected escape areas

Not just portable but truly handheld the LMm weighs just 600g (1 3Ibs) including the battery and measures just 70mm x 179mm x 42mm (28 x 7 x 16 inches) Features include a full colour numeric or graphical display audio and visual alarms six hours minimum

Exhibitor Listbattery life per charge (four hour recharge) IP54 ingress protection automatic ranging and a wide operating temperature range of -HOC to +50degC (1degF to 122degF)

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY lt -shy - IS YOUR GAS DETECTOR

~ ~~l RIGHT FOR THE JOB Working in confined

spaces is difficult at the

) best of times Operators ~ often have to wear full

PPE (personal protective equipment) are usually harnessed and may be carrying tools and

~-

equipment to complete the task in hand (eg

welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry about is his or her gas detector It should be designed specifically for confined space entry (CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

According to the UKs Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space means any place including any chamber tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue well or other similar space in which by virtue of its enclosed nawre there arises a reasonably foreseeable risk

This definition covers just about any industrial activity but is especially applicable to the utilities industries (water and wastewater electricity telecommunications and gas) construction hydrocarbon exploration and processing petrochemicals marine applications agriculture food processing wine making and brewing as well as emergency services

While the best advice is ifat all possible to avoid entering confined spaces this is obviously not always an option In the above mentioned industries there will always be occasions when workers or emergency services personnel need to enter potentially dangerous areas to carry out inspections routine maintenance perform emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment required for CSE environments and the supply industry is well developed with a plethora of PPE and safety equipment available The one area of CSE where improvement is needed and where compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or models with parasitiC pumps which are easily lost or damaged Handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than being suitable for CSE work

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

With this feedback in mind Crowcon went back to the drawing board The result is Gas-Pro a design perfectly suited for CSE applications to comply with hazardous area and health and safety standards

Specific CSE features of the new Gas-Pro include bull It is compact and comparable in size to leading frontshy

mount diffusion detectors It is designed so as not to get in the way of other PPE and accessories and not interfere with the workers primary activity

bull It has a bright clear top-mount display that can be read at a glance without having to even touch the detectorA dual colour backlight adds an extra level of alert should the Gas-Pro enter alarm status

bull An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be done quickly and easilyThis also keeps the size of the detector small and removes the problems of poor sealing or the need for extra equipment and chargers associated with parasitic pumps +ve SafetyTM - The status of detectors is becoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety execlltives around the world (OSHA HSE Safework Australia to name but a few) are introducing and making more stringent the guidelines and regulations released to ensure worker safety Unique to the Gas-Pro +ve SafetyTM provides tri-colour status indication giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump) calibration over range and recent alarm notification Not only is +ve SafetyTM flexible enough to meet individual company regulations but the indication light is visible to all offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike standard bump test indications or confidence flashes - shy

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

confined spaces this is not

always an option In some industries there will aJways be occasions when workers or

emergency services personnel need to enter

potentially dangerous areas to carry out

inspections routine maintenance perform

emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment

required for CSE environments and the

supply industry is well developed with a

plethora of PPE and safety equipment

available The one area of CSE where

improvement is needed and where

compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

released to ensure worker safety The

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

status indicalion l giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump)

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY lt -shy - IS YOUR GAS DETECTOR

~ ~~l RIGHT FOR THE JOB Working in confined

spaces is difficult at the

) best of times Operators ~ often have to wear full

PPE (personal protective equipment) are usually harnessed and may be carrying tools and

~-

equipment to complete the task in hand (eg

welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry about is his or her gas detector It should be designed specifically for confined space entry (CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

According to the UKs Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space means any place including any chamber tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue well or other similar space in which by virtue of its enclosed nawre there arises a reasonably foreseeable risk

This definition covers just about any industrial activity but is especially applicable to the utilities industries (water and wastewater electricity telecommunications and gas) construction hydrocarbon exploration and processing petrochemicals marine applications agriculture food processing wine making and brewing as well as emergency services

While the best advice is ifat all possible to avoid entering confined spaces this is obviously not always an option In the above mentioned industries there will always be occasions when workers or emergency services personnel need to enter potentially dangerous areas to carry out inspections routine maintenance perform emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment required for CSE environments and the supply industry is well developed with a plethora of PPE and safety equipment available The one area of CSE where improvement is needed and where compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or models with parasitiC pumps which are easily lost or damaged Handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than being suitable for CSE work

So what are the requirements of the ideal CSE gas detector Crowcon has done extensive market research among users and fleet managers around the globe and found the following five features to be essential bull Simple to use bull Bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (for at least one full shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction

Reliable detection (while not being the focus of the task at hand unreliable detectors can halt it qUickly)

These features may all seem obvious but finding a gas detector that includes all of them as well as other important characteristics has until now been impossible

With this feedback in mind Crowcon went back to the drawing board The result is Gas-Pro a design perfectly suited for CSE applications to comply with hazardous area and health and safety standards

Specific CSE features of the new Gas-Pro include bull It is compact and comparable in size to leading frontshy

mount diffusion detectors It is designed so as not to get in the way of other PPE and accessories and not interfere with the workers primary activity

bull It has a bright clear top-mount display that can be read at a glance without having to even touch the detectorA dual colour backlight adds an extra level of alert should the Gas-Pro enter alarm status

bull An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be done quickly and easilyThis also keeps the size of the detector small and removes the problems of poor sealing or the need for extra equipment and chargers associated with parasitic pumps +ve SafetyTM - The status of detectors is becoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety execlltives around the world (OSHA HSE Safework Australia to name but a few) are introducing and making more stringent the guidelines and regulations released to ensure worker safety Unique to the Gas-Pro +ve SafetyTM provides tri-colour status indication giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump) calibration over range and recent alarm notification Not only is +ve SafetyTM flexible enough to meet individual company regulations but the indication light is visible to all offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike standard bump test indications or confidence flashes - shy

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

confined spaces this is not

always an option In some industries there will aJways be occasions when workers or

emergency services personnel need to enter

potentially dangerous areas to carry out

inspections routine maintenance perform

emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment

required for CSE environments and the

supply industry is well developed with a

plethora of PPE and safety equipment

available The one area of CSE where

improvement is needed and where

compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

released to ensure worker safety The

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

status indicalion l giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump)

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

The unit can monitor up to five gases from an extremely wide range including hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

59

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Getting the right gas detector for the job Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best oftimes so the last thing a worker needs to worry about is their gas det~orLouise Early discusses some factors to consider during the selection process

tille the best advice is if at all

possible to avoid entering

confined spaces this is not

always an option In some industries there will aJways be occasions when workers or

emergency services personnel need to enter

potentially dangerous areas to carry out

inspections routine maintenance perform

emergency repairs or effect rescues

There is a wide range of equipment

required for CSE environments and the

supply industry is well developed with a

plethora of PPE and safety equipment

available The one area of CSE where

improvement is needed and where

compromises have to date always had to be made is gas detection

Users of gas detectors have typically

had to make a choice between large pumped units small diffusion models or

models with parasitic pumps which can

be eaily lost or damaged HandheJd detectors that measure a wider range of

gases tend to have frontmiddotmount displays

and are usually optimised for leak

location or hot work permit issue rather

than being suitable for CSE work

For this reason Crowcon has done

extensive market research among users

and fleet managers around the globe into

what the requirements of the ideal CSE

gas detector are and found the follOwing

five features to be essential

Simple to use

Bright easy to read display

Long battery life

Robust construction Reliable detection

With this feedback in mind Crowcon

went back to the drawing board The

result is Gas-Pro a design suited for CSE

applications to comply with hazardous

area and health and fety standards

Features of the new Gas-Pro include

It is compact and comparable in size to

leading front-mount diffusion detectors

It is designed so as not to get in the way of

other PPE and accessories and not

interfere with a workers primary activity

It has a clear top-mount display that can

be read at a glance without having to

even touch the detector A dual colour

backlight adds an extra level of a1en should the Gas- Pro enter alarm Slarus

An internal pump means that pre-entry

testing can be done quickly and easily +ve Safety - The status of detectors is

middotbecoming more and more important to fleet managers Health and safety

executives around the world (OSHA

HSE Safework Australia to name but a

few) are introducing and making more

stringent the guidelines and regulations

released to ensure worker safety The

Gas-Pro +ve Safety provides tri-colour

status indicalion l giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test (bump)

calibration over range and re~ent

alarm notification Not only is +ve

Safety flexible enough to meet

individual company regulations but

the indication light is visible to all

offering the fleet manager a quick simple yet comprehensive visible indication of monitor status unlike

standard bump test indications or confidence flashes

Multiple gas sensors for up to five

potentially hazardous gases from an

extremely wide range including

hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable

gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine

chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

By selecting the most suitable gas

detector personnel entering confined

spaces can be free from worries about what risks might come with compromise

and be more focussed on their core

activities safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activiry

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

bull Simplicity of use bull A bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (at least one full

shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction and bull Reliable detection

The new Gas-Pro unit is compact with a bright clear top-mounted display An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be performed quickly and easily The firm claimed the use of colour is unique to the Gas-Pro and provides quick and eff~~ive mon_i_~Qring_ of gases

The unit can monitor up to five gases from an extremely wide range including hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

The Gas-Pro is described as extremely rugged with IP65 and IP67 ingress protection and an extremely loud alarm (over 95dB) as well as vibrating and dual-colour visual warni~s as standard

Is your gas detector right for the job

Working in confined spaces is difficult at

the best of times Operators often have to

wear full PPE (personal protective

equipment) are usually harnessed and may

be carrying tools and equipment to complete

the task in hand (eg welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry

about is his or her gas detector It should be

designed specifically for confined space entry

(CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have

a clear display that is easy to see at a

glanceA ccording to the UKs Health and

Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space

means any place including any chamber

tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue

well or other similar space in which by

virtue of its enclosed nature there arises a

reasonably foreseeable risk This definition

covers just about any industrial activity but

is especially applicable to the utilities

industries (water and wastewater electricity

telecommunications and gas) construction

hydrocarbon exploration and processing

petrochemicals marine applications

agriculture food processing wine making

in a short space of time he explained middot~thout a sense on the part of the user they can get some pretty rough traabnenl The Triple Plus+ un~s are hardwearing and require little

mintenbullbulln(-they also have an extremely reliable IR sensor They performed exceptionally over the first shutdown period without a detector exhibiting a fault Or failure

Triple Plus+ IR version differs from traditional detectors because it does not require the presence of oxygen making it ideal tor use in silicone manufacturing processes or in purge monitoring of hydrocarbon stonoge tanks such as in petroleum processing facilities or oil and gas carriers

Favoured by the chemical and 011 and gas industries because of its toughness and with around 100000 units in use wortdwide the Triple Plus+ is arguably the wortds most popular full function multi-gas gas detector It can monitor up 10 four toxic and ftammable gases at once from a list of OVel 15 is almost unbreakable and uses 7-series sensors which have been shown to be the most reliable sensor type available It is housed in a shatterproof poIyamideABS casing making it shock-resistant and water-proof to IP65 It will also ftoat if dropped in water

A large baCkI~ display shows all gas levels simultaneously and a loud audible alarm and extremely bright visual alarm wams the operator when gas levels reach dangerous levels 100 hours of datalogging capacity is available as standard and a PC intelface through an RS232 serial port allows all data to be down loaded for permanent storage

Dow Comings 160-aera Bany site employs approximately 600 people and manufactures silicon-basad products and intermediates for use globally The process starts with elemental silicon which is chemically reacted and changed to make silicon-based fluids gums nubbers and speclalty polymers

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcon finds gas in confined spaces A plethora of personal protective equipment (PPE) is avai lable to the mining sector but one area where improvement is needed is gas detection for confined-space entry (CSE) applications according to a recent statement from UK-based Crowcon Detection Instruments

The company has developed the Gas-Pro which it claims is perfectly suited for CSE appl ications

Crowcon which has branches in the Netherlands the US Singapore and China said that users of gas detectors have usually had to choose between large pumped units small diffusion models and other products with parasitic pumps that are easily lost or damaged

The firm noted that handheld detectors that measure a wider range of gases tend to have front-mount displays and are usually optimised for leak location or hot work permit issue rather than for CSE work

Louise Early prod uct manager for safety portables at Crowcon said that gas detectors should be designed specifically to be unobtrusive and have a clear display that is easy to see at a glance

Ms Early added that the following features were essential

A worker entering a confined space wearing Crowcon s Gas-Pro (pictured right in close-up)

bull Simplicity of use bull A bright easy to read display bull Long battery life (at least one full

shift and preferably two) bull Robust construction and bull Reliable detection

The new Gas-Pro unit is compact with a bright clear top-mounted display An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be performed quickly and easily The firm claimed the use of colour is unique to the Gas-Pro and provides quick and eff~~ive mon_i_~Qring_ of gases

The unit can monitor up to five gases from an extremely wide range including hydrogen sulphide carbon monoxide carbon dioxide oxygen and flammable gases as well as industry-specific gases such as ozone ammonia chlorine chlorine dioxide and sulphur dioxide

The Gas-Pro is described as extremely rugged with IP65 and IP67 ingress protection and an extremely loud alarm (over 95dB) as well as vibrating and dual-colour visual warni~s as standard

Is your gas detector right for the job

Working in confined spaces is difficult at

the best of times Operators often have to

wear full PPE (personal protective

equipment) are usually harnessed and may

be carrying tools and equipment to complete

the task in hand (eg welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry

about is his or her gas detector It should be

designed specifically for confined space entry

(CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have

a clear display that is easy to see at a

glanceA ccording to the UKs Health and

Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space

means any place including any chamber

tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue

well or other similar space in which by

virtue of its enclosed nature there arises a

reasonably foreseeable risk This definition

covers just about any industrial activity but

is especially applicable to the utilities

industries (water and wastewater electricity

telecommunications and gas) construction

hydrocarbon exploration and processing

petrochemicals marine applications

agriculture food processing wine making

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons Xgard I R Gas detector now Approved to latest amendment of Marine Equipment Directive

Mar 302011

Crowcons Xgard IR infrared (IR) gas detector is now approved to the latest amendment of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED 9698EC) This means the low cost detector can be used to detect flammable gases and vapour hazards on tankers drilling ships FPSOs dive vessels coastguard vessels ferries and other marine vessels

Applications for the Xgard IR include pump rooms and monitoring leaks in storage tanks pipes and valves It provides fast early warning of gas accumulations before concentrations reach flammable levels Detection is in the range 0 - 100 LEl

Unlike conventional sensors (such as catalytic pellistors) the Xgard IRs sensor is immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other benefits too unlike pellistors IR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion resistance in the most extreme marine environments The sensor which has a life expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATEX IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is also Exd flameproof rated

The standard junction box is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting and four cable gland options ensure compatibility on any site The detector takes a range of accessories for harsh or wet conditions and for remote sampling

Is your gas detector right for the job

Working in confined spaces is difficult at

the best of times Operators often have to

wear full PPE (personal protective

equipment) are usually harnessed and may

be carrying tools and equipment to complete

the task in hand (eg welding) The last thing a worker in this environment needs to worry

about is his or her gas detector It should be

designed specifically for confined space entry

(CSE) applications be unobtrusive and have

a clear display that is easy to see at a

glanceA ccording to the UKs Health and

Safety Executive (HSE) a confined space

means any place including any chamber

tank vat silo pit trench pipe sewer flue

well or other similar space in which by

virtue of its enclosed nature there arises a

reasonably foreseeable risk This definition

covers just about any industrial activity but

is especially applicable to the utilities

industries (water and wastewater electricity

telecommunications and gas) construction

hydrocarbon exploration and processing

petrochemicals marine applications

agriculture food processing wine making

has provided 65 of its portable gas detectors to protect I at Dow Comings manufacturing plant in Bany south

Triple Plus+ IR detectors are used by maintenance Iccntractors during cnuclal operational site shutdowns

silicone is present in the manufacturing process and can with conventional sensors it was necessary for the to have infrared (IR) capability as IR sensors are

1~~~~~~~~bY silicone In addition Crowcon provided II of the IR sensor for pentane and also provided a

hydrogen sensor

According to Kevin Reid of Dow Comings analyser Group nuggedness was a key factor In the companys choice of gas

in a short space of time he explained middot~thout a sense on the part of the user they can get some pretty rough traabnenl The Triple Plus+ un~s are hardwearing and require little

mintenbullbulln(-they also have an extremely reliable IR sensor They performed exceptionally over the first shutdown period without a detector exhibiting a fault Or failure

Triple Plus+ IR version differs from traditional detectors because it does not require the presence of oxygen making it ideal tor use in silicone manufacturing processes or in purge monitoring of hydrocarbon stonoge tanks such as in petroleum processing facilities or oil and gas carriers

Favoured by the chemical and 011 and gas industries because of its toughness and with around 100000 units in use wortdwide the Triple Plus+ is arguably the wortds most popular full function multi-gas gas detector It can monitor up 10 four toxic and ftammable gases at once from a list of OVel 15 is almost unbreakable and uses 7-series sensors which have been shown to be the most reliable sensor type available It is housed in a shatterproof poIyamideABS casing making it shock-resistant and water-proof to IP65 It will also ftoat if dropped in water

A large baCkI~ display shows all gas levels simultaneously and a loud audible alarm and extremely bright visual alarm wams the operator when gas levels reach dangerous levels 100 hours of datalogging capacity is available as standard and a PC intelface through an RS232 serial port allows all data to be down loaded for permanent storage

Dow Comings 160-aera Bany site employs approximately 600 people and manufactures silicon-basad products and intermediates for use globally The process starts with elemental silicon which is chemically reacted and changed to make silicon-based fluids gums nubbers and speclalty polymers

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons Xgard I R Gas detector now Approved to latest amendment of Marine Equipment Directive

Mar 302011

Crowcons Xgard IR infrared (IR) gas detector is now approved to the latest amendment of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED 9698EC) This means the low cost detector can be used to detect flammable gases and vapour hazards on tankers drilling ships FPSOs dive vessels coastguard vessels ferries and other marine vessels

Applications for the Xgard IR include pump rooms and monitoring leaks in storage tanks pipes and valves It provides fast early warning of gas accumulations before concentrations reach flammable levels Detection is in the range 0 - 100 LEl

Unlike conventional sensors (such as catalytic pellistors) the Xgard IRs sensor is immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other benefits too unlike pellistors IR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion resistance in the most extreme marine environments The sensor which has a life expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATEX IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is also Exd flameproof rated

The standard junction box is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting and four cable gland options ensure compatibility on any site The detector takes a range of accessories for harsh or wet conditions and for remote sampling

hydrogen sensor

According to Kevin Reid of Dow Comings analyser Group nuggedness was a key factor In the companys choice of gas

in a short space of time he explained middot~thout a sense on the part of the user they can get some pretty rough traabnenl The Triple Plus+ un~s are hardwearing and require little

mintenbullbulln(-they also have an extremely reliable IR sensor They performed exceptionally over the first shutdown period without a detector exhibiting a fault Or failure

Triple Plus+ IR version differs from traditional detectors because it does not require the presence of oxygen making it ideal tor use in silicone manufacturing processes or in purge monitoring of hydrocarbon stonoge tanks such as in petroleum processing facilities or oil and gas carriers

Favoured by the chemical and 011 and gas industries because of its toughness and with around 100000 units in use wortdwide the Triple Plus+ is arguably the wortds most popular full function multi-gas gas detector It can monitor up 10 four toxic and ftammable gases at once from a list of OVel 15 is almost unbreakable and uses 7-series sensors which have been shown to be the most reliable sensor type available It is housed in a shatterproof poIyamideABS casing making it shock-resistant and water-proof to IP65 It will also ftoat if dropped in water

A large baCkI~ display shows all gas levels simultaneously and a loud audible alarm and extremely bright visual alarm wams the operator when gas levels reach dangerous levels 100 hours of datalogging capacity is available as standard and a PC intelface through an RS232 serial port allows all data to be down loaded for permanent storage

Dow Comings 160-aera Bany site employs approximately 600 people and manufactures silicon-basad products and intermediates for use globally The process starts with elemental silicon which is chemically reacted and changed to make silicon-based fluids gums nubbers and speclalty polymers

ACCOrding to Kevin Reid of Dow Comings analyser Group ruggedness was a key factor In the companys choice of gas detector supplier We issue the instruments to off-site contractors which means they pass through many pairs of hands In a short space of time he explained Without a sense of ownership on the part or the user they can get some pretty rough treatment The Triple Plus+ units are hardwearlng and require little maintenance - they also have an

extremely reliable IR sensor They performed exceptionally over the first shutdown period without a single detector exhibiting a fault or failure

The Triple Ptus+ IR version differs from traditional detectors because it does not require the presence of oxygen making It ideal for use in silicone manufacturing processes or in purge monitoring of hydrocarbon storage tanks such as In petroleum processing facilities or oil and gas carriers

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

59

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

30-03-20 II 100 I AM Crowcons Xgard IR Gas detector now Approved to latest amendment of Marine Equipment Directive Mumbai Maharashtm India Crowcons Xgard IR infrared (JR) gas detector is now approved to the latest amendment of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED 9698EC) This means the low cost detector can be used to detect tlammable gases and vapour hazards on tankers drilling ships FPSOs dive vessels coastguard vessels ferries and other marine vessels

Applications for the Xgard rR include pump rooms and monitoring leaks in storage tanks pipes and valves It provides last early warning of gas accumulations before concentrations reach tlammable levels Detection is in the range 0 - 100 LEL

Unlike conventional sensors (such as catalytic pellistors) the Xgard IRs sensor is immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other benefits too unlike pellistorslR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion resistance in the most extreme marine environments The seosor which has a life expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATE X IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is also Exd flameproof rated

The standard junction box is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting and four cable gland options ensure compatibility 00 any site The detector takes a range of accessories for harsh or wet conditions and for remote sampling

Triple Plus+ IR detectors are used by maintenance Iccntractors during cnuclal operational site shutdowns

silicone is present in the manufacturing process and can with conventional sensors it was necessary for the to have infrared (IR) capability as IR sensors are

1~~~~~~~~bY silicone In addition Crowcon provided II of the IR sensor for pentane and also provided a

hydrogen sensor

According to Kevin Reid of Dow Comings analyser Group nuggedness was a key factor In the companys choice of gas

in a short space of time he explained middot~thout a sense on the part of the user they can get some pretty rough traabnenl The Triple Plus+ un~s are hardwearing and require little

mintenbullbulln(-they also have an extremely reliable IR sensor They performed exceptionally over the first shutdown period without a detector exhibiting a fault Or failure

Triple Plus+ IR version differs from traditional detectors because it does not require the presence of oxygen making it ideal tor use in silicone manufacturing processes or in purge monitoring of hydrocarbon stonoge tanks such as in petroleum processing facilities or oil and gas carriers

Favoured by the chemical and 011 and gas industries because of its toughness and with around 100000 units in use wortdwide the Triple Plus+ is arguably the wortds most popular full function multi-gas gas detector It can monitor up 10 four toxic and ftammable gases at once from a list of OVel 15 is almost unbreakable and uses 7-series sensors which have been shown to be the most reliable sensor type available It is housed in a shatterproof poIyamideABS casing making it shock-resistant and water-proof to IP65 It will also ftoat if dropped in water

A large baCkI~ display shows all gas levels simultaneously and a loud audible alarm and extremely bright visual alarm wams the operator when gas levels reach dangerous levels 100 hours of datalogging capacity is available as standard and a PC intelface through an RS232 serial port allows all data to be down loaded for permanent storage

Dow Comings 160-aera Bany site employs approximately 600 people and manufactures silicon-basad products and intermediates for use globally The process starts with elemental silicon which is chemically reacted and changed to make silicon-based fluids gums nubbers and speclalty polymers

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other

benefits too unlike pellistors IR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert

backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion

resistance in the most extreme marine environments The sensor which has a life

expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATEX IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is

has provided 65 of its portable gas detectors to protect I at Dow Comings manufacturing plant in Bany south

Triple Plus+ IR detectors are used by maintenance Iccntractors during cnuclal operational site shutdowns

silicone is present in the manufacturing process and can with conventional sensors it was necessary for the to have infrared (IR) capability as IR sensors are

1~~~~~~~~bY silicone In addition Crowcon provided II of the IR sensor for pentane and also provided a

hydrogen sensor

According to Kevin Reid of Dow Comings analyser Group nuggedness was a key factor In the companys choice of gas

in a short space of time he explained middot~thout a sense on the part of the user they can get some pretty rough traabnenl The Triple Plus+ un~s are hardwearing and require little

mintenbullbulln(-they also have an extremely reliable IR sensor They performed exceptionally over the first shutdown period without a detector exhibiting a fault Or failure

Triple Plus+ IR version differs from traditional detectors because it does not require the presence of oxygen making it ideal tor use in silicone manufacturing processes or in purge monitoring of hydrocarbon stonoge tanks such as in petroleum processing facilities or oil and gas carriers

Favoured by the chemical and 011 and gas industries because of its toughness and with around 100000 units in use wortdwide the Triple Plus+ is arguably the wortds most popular full function multi-gas gas detector It can monitor up 10 four toxic and ftammable gases at once from a list of OVel 15 is almost unbreakable and uses 7-series sensors which have been shown to be the most reliable sensor type available It is housed in a shatterproof poIyamideABS casing making it shock-resistant and water-proof to IP65 It will also ftoat if dropped in water

A large baCkI~ display shows all gas levels simultaneously and a loud audible alarm and extremely bright visual alarm wams the operator when gas levels reach dangerous levels 100 hours of datalogging capacity is available as standard and a PC intelface through an RS232 serial port allows all data to be down loaded for permanent storage

Dow Comings 160-aera Bany site employs approximately 600 people and manufactures silicon-basad products and intermediates for use globally The process starts with elemental silicon which is chemically reacted and changed to make silicon-based fluids gums nubbers and speclalty polymers

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

ACCOrding to Kevin Reid of Dow Comings analyser Group ruggedness was a key factor In the companys choice of gas detector supplier We issue the instruments to off-site contractors which means they pass through many pairs of hands In a short space of time he explained Without a sense of ownership on the part or the user they can get some pretty rough treatment The Triple Plus+ units are hardwearlng and require little maintenance - they also have an

extremely reliable IR sensor They performed exceptionally over the first shutdown period without a single detector exhibiting a fault or failure

The Triple Ptus+ IR version differs from traditional detectors because it does not require the presence of oxygen making It ideal for use in silicone manufacturing processes or in purge monitoring of hydrocarbon storage tanks such as In petroleum processing facilities or oil and gas carriers

Favoured by the chemical and oil and gas industries because of Its toughness and with around 100000 units In use worldwide the Triple Plus+ Is aQuably the worlds most popular rull function multi-gas gas detector It can monitor up to four toxic and flammable gases at once from a list of over 15 is almost unbreakable and uses 7-series sensors which have been shown to be the most reliable sensor type available It Is housed In a shatterproor polyamideABS casing making it shock-resistant and water-proor to IP65 It will also fioat Ir dropped In water

A laQe backllt display shows all gas levels simultaneously and a loud audible alarm and extremely bright visual alarm warns the operator when gas levels reach dangerous levels 100 hours or datalogging capacity Is available as standard and a PC interface through an RS232 serial port allows all data to be downloaded for permanent storage

Dew Comings 160-acre Barry site employs approximately 600 people and manuractures siliconshybased products and intermediates for use globally The process starts with elemental silicon whtch is Chemically reacted and changed to make silicon-based fluids gums rubbers and specialty polymers

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

Petrochemicals Gas Hazards Although flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators technicians and safety personnel in the oil gas and petrochemical industries continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacencyAndy Avenell

Crowcon Detection Instruments

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE

-ew personnel are often assigned work activishyNties in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

the use of gas detection equipment So this article aims to offer a basic introduction to gases and associated hazards in the oil gas and petrochemishycal industries

What Is gas Whilst different gases have different densities they do not totally separate into layers according to their density Heavy gases for example hydrogen sulphide tend to sink and light gases such as methane tend to rise but their constant motion means that there is continuous mixing

So in a room where there is a natural gas (methane) leak the gas will tend to rise because it is lighter than air but the constant motion means that there may be a considerable concentration at floor level This will happen in perfectly still condishytions but if there are any air currents mixing will be increased

Air is a mixture of gases but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually

considered as a single gas which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications

Combustion of gases Most organic compounds will burn Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance proshyducing heat The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons which are the main constituents of crude oil and gas Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen the simplest hydrocarbon being methane each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms It is the first compound in the family known as alkashynes The physical properties of alkanes change with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the molecule those with one to four being gases those with five to ten being volatile liquids those with 11 to 18 being heavier fuel oils and those with 19 to 40 being lubricating oils Longer carbon chain hydrocarbons are tars and waxes

When hydrocarbons burn they react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

Crowcons Xgard IR Gas detector now Approved to latest amendment of Marine Equipment Directive

Mumbai Maharashtra India Wednesday March 30 2011 - (Business Wire India) shy

Crowcons Xgard IR infrared (IR) gas detector is now approved to the latest amendment

of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED 9698EC) This means the low cost detector

can be used to detect flammable gases and vapour hazards on tankers drilling ships

FPSOs dive vessels coastguard vessels ferries and other marine vessels

Applications for the Xgard I R include pump rooms and monitoring leaks in storage tanks

pipes and valves It provides fast early warning of gas accumulations before

concentrations reach flammable levels Detection is in the range 0 - 100 LEL

Unlike conventional sensors (such as catalytic pellistors) the Xgard IRs sensor is

immune to being poisoned or inhibited by other substances Infrared sensing has other

benefits too unlike pellistors IR sensors will fail to safety detect flammable gas in inert

backgrounds and are not damaged by high gas concentrations

The Xgard IR is available with a 316 stainless steel enclosure for maximum corrosion

resistance in the most extreme marine environments The sensor which has a life

expectancy of over 5 years is a simple plug-in module that makes replacement quick and easy ATEX IECEx and UL approved for use in hazardous areas the Xgard IR is

also Exd flameproof rated

The standard junction box is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting and four cable

gland options ensure compatibility on any site The detector takes a range of

accessories for harsh or wet conditions and for remote sampling

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDSPETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

dioxide and water (although if the combustion is incomplete because of insufficient oxygen carbon monoxide will result as well)

More complex organic compounds contain elements such as oxygen nitrogen sulphur chlorine bromine or fluorine and if these burn the products of combustion will include other compounds as well For example substances containing sulphur such as oil or coal w ill result in sulphur dioxide while those containing chlorine such as methyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) will result in hydrogen chloride

In most industrial environments where there is the ris k of explosion or fire because of the presshyence of flammable gases or vapours a mixture of compounds is likely to be encountered In the oil gas and petrochemical industries the raw materials are a mixture of hydrocarbons and chemicals some of which may be being altered by a process For example crude oil is separated into many materials using processes referred to as fractionashytion (or fractional distillation) fractions are further converted using processes such as cracking or catalytic reforming Flammable hazards are thereshyfore likely to be represented by many substances on a typical petrochemical refining plant

EXplosive risk In order for gas to ignite there must be an ignition source typically a spark (or flame or hot surface)

and oxygen For ignition to take place the concenshytration of gas or vapour in air must be at a level such that the fuel and oxygen can react chemishycally The power of the explosion depends on the fuel and its concentration in the atmosphere The relationship between fuelairignition is illustrated in the widely understood fire triangle

The fire tetrahedron concept has been introshyduced more recently to illustrate the risk of fires being sustained due to chemical reaction With most types of fire the original fire triangle model works well - removing one element of the triangle (fuel oxygen or ignition source) will prevent a fire occurring However when the fire involves burnshying metals like lithium or magnesium using water to extinguish the fire could result in it getting hotshyter or even exploding This is because such metals can react with water in an exothermic reaction to produce flammable hydrogen gas

Not all concentrations of flammable gas or vapour in air will burn or explode The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest concentrafion of fuel in air that will burn and for most flammable gases it is less than 5 by volume So there is a high risk of explosion even when relatively small concentrations of gas or vapour escape into the atmosphere

LEL levels for gases and vapours are defined in various international standards The original longshyestabli shed standards measured the LEL points

ASIA PACIFIC FIRE 60

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDS PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

using a static concentration of gas More recent European and international standards list LEL levels measured using a stirred gas mixture some substances are more volatile when in motion and represent an explosive risk at lower concentrashytions than indicated on previous static tests Methane is the most commonly occurring flamshymable gas in industry the long-established Lower Explosive Limit is 5 in air the new LEL recogshynised in Europe and other territories is 44 LEL and calibration practices have been changed accordingly

The propane vapour LEL is affected to an even

greater degree the old LEL value being 2-22 in air (depending on which standard is referenced) the new LEL being 17 in air A more compreshyhensive list of affected gases and vapours can be viewed at wwwtalkinggascouk

Flammable gas risk Flammable gas detection equipment is generally designed to provide a warning of flammable risks before the gas reaches its lower explosive limit The first alarm level is generally set at 20 LEL with a second-stage alarm at 40 to 60 LEL In some applications such as gas turbine monitoring alarms may be set as low as 5 LEL

Toxic gas risk Gases and vapours released from oil gas and petrochemical processing activities can under many circumstances have harmful effects on workers exposed to them by inhalation being absorbed through the skin or swallowed People exposed to harmful substances may develop illshynesses such as cancer many years after the first exposure Many toxic substances are dangerous to health in low ppm (parts per million) or even ppb (part per billion) concentrations

Given that 10000 ppm is equivalent to 1 volshyume of any space it can be seen that an extremely low concentration of some toxic gases can present a hazard to health

It is worth noting that most flammable gas hazards occur when the concentration of gases or vapours exceed 10000 ppm (1 ) volume in air or higher In contrast toxic gases typically need to be detected in sub-lOO ppm (001 ) volume levels to protect personnel

Gaseous toxic substances are especially dangershyous because they are often invisible andor odourless Their physical behaviour is not always predictable ambient temperature pressure and ventilation patterns significantly influence the behaviour of a gas leak Hydrogen sulphide for example is particularly hazardous although it has

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ

PETROCHEMICALS GAS HAZARDS PETROCHEMICAL GAS HAZARDS

a very distinctive bad egg odour at concentrashytions above 01 ppm exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm or higher will lead to paralysis of the olfactory glands rendering the sense of smell inactive This in turn may result in the assumption that the danger has cleared Prolonged exposure to concentrations above 50 ppm will result in paralysis and death

Definitions for maximum exposure concenshytrations of toxic gases vary according to country Limits are generally time-weighted as exposure effects are cumulative the limits stipulate the maxshyimum exposure during a normal working day

Alarm levels It is important to note that whereas portable gas detection instruments measure and alarm at the TWA (time-weighted average) levels instantashyneous alarms are also set at the same numerical values to provide early warning of an exposure to dangerous gas concentrations Workers are often under risk of gas exposure in situations where atmospheres cannot be controlled such as in conshyfined space entry applications where alarming at TWA values would be inappropriate

Gas detection systems Both flammable and toxic gases pose serious hazards in oil gas and petrochemical processing facilities There can be a very diverse range of gases depending on the application Multi-gas mixtures are also a common danger especially in confined spaces Fixed gas detectors can be posishytioned in strategic zones and operatives undertakshying maintenance or cleaning work for example in confined spaces or hot work areas should always be equipped with portable gas detectors

Most gas detectors should be calibrated every

six months to ensure optimum operation Howshyever a new range of IR (infrared) detectors allow users to extend maintenance checks to once every 12 months - and this only requires a gas test not full re-calibration which is more time consuming Bump-test stations and intelligent instrument management hubs also enable simple day-to-day testing of portable gas detectors and easy manshyagement of maintenance cycles

Future trends It is likely that both portable and fixed hydroshycarbon gas detectors will use IR sensors rather than the traditional catalytic bead (pellistor) senshysors currently used in most detectors IR sensors provide increased reliability more dependable operation and increased lifetimes when compared to pellistors The cost of IR sensors has fallen in the past few years and a commercial case can easily be made for switching to IR technology

Sensor technologies such as PID (photoshyionisation) are being used more commonly as requirements for monitoring levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in industry increase Optical sensing developments and sol id-electrolyte sensors will provide solutions in toxic gas and oxygen sensing applications where traditional electrochemical cells have operating limitations

Portable gas detectors will include features appropriate to a diverse range of applications with extended battery life and connectivity to other types of portable devices and control systems Fixed detection systems will also continue to utilise a variety of technologies (such as point-type detecshytors open-path detectors acoustic sensors and even gas cameras) for the most comprehensive coverage Wireless connectivity will replace cables in some applications fZllJ
