White Paper: Combustible Gas Safety Monitoring: Infrared vs. Catalytic Gas Detectors

When designing a combustible gas safety monitoring system for oil/gas, petrochemical or other applications, how do you decide whether to use infrared or catalytic gas detector technology? Both sensing technologies have their advantages dependent upon your application's specific requirements. A thorough analysis of your application's unique field environment is needed to ensure optimal performance, safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness. A quick decision, of course, can lead to poor detector choices as well as safety, performance, maintenance, and life-cycle cost consequences.

As a global leader and innovator in gas sensing technologies, General Monitors offers the industry's two most popular and reliable combustible gas sensing technologies: (1) catalytic detectors and (2) infrared detectors. Both technologies reliably detect gas at or below the lower explosive limit (0-100% LEL). They are also suitable for use in a broad variety of field application environments. Determining which sensing technology is the best fit for your individual application is extremely important. Our field applications engineers will help you conduct a risk assessment audit to determine the requirements for your safety monitoring system.
