Gas Detector reacts to toxic concentrations of ethanol.
May 2, 2008 -
With ability to detect minute traces of ethanol, infrared gas detector is suited for use in biofuel processing plants, pipelines, pumping stations, storage facilities, and fuel dumps. Measuring 8 in. high with 2.5 in. diameter, cylindrical unit has stainless-steel housing that does not rust or corrode. It uses no mirrors or beam-splitters, and is resistant to temperature, pressure, and humidity extremes, as well as interference from other gases.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 29, 2008 - A new gas detector that reacts to toxic or explosive concentrations of ethanol has been developed by Sensor Electronics of Minneapolis.
Like gasoline, ethanol is extremely volatile and explosive. It's also toxic: In high concentrations it displaces oxygen, leading to asphyxiation and possible death.
This new infrared gas detector "sees" even minute traces of ethanol, making it ideal for protecting biofuel refineries converting corn, soybeans, sugar cane, beets, seaweed and other vegetation into the gas.
It's designed for applications in biofuel processing plants, pipelines, pumping stations, storage facilities, fuel dumps, distribution networks and the like.
Calibration is quick, easy: The gas detector simply sniffs a whiff of ethanol, then locks itself into ethanol's chemical "signature." Thereafter, any significant concentration triggers an immediate warning.
Because this self-contained gas detector uses no mirrors or beam-splitters, it shrugs off rain, snow, fog, smog. It also ignores temperature/pressure/humidity extremes, as well as interference (false signals) from other gases.
The cylindrical unit measures 8 inches high overall, 2.5 inches diameter. The stainless-steel housing cannot rust or corrode, meaning exceptional operating life.
