Building upon many years of success with the original model, Crowcon is proud to announce the launch of a NEW Gas-Tec. Keeping the trusted FID technology from the original, but adding in customer requested features such as GPS location and measurement logging, longer battery life and lower weight the latest unit takes an old favourite and mixes it with a huge portion of “convenience”.
Pellistor Technology
Flammable gases and vapours can present considerable dangers in many industrial applications, none more so than the processes involved in extracting, transporting and processing oil and gas. The longest established and most prevalent sensor technology employed for detecting flammable gas is the Pellistor (or Catalytic Bead). Pellistor-based detectors are widely available at low cost, but are vulnerable to permanent poisoning by contaminants, do not fail safe, require very regular maintenance and calibration, and have a limited life-span.
Crowcon’s new infrared flammable gas detector, IREX, is designed to replace pellistor type flammable gas detectors, resulting in faster response times and greatly reduced zero drift. It has been designed with the oil, gas and petrochemical industry in mind and is capable of detecting methane, butane, propane and many other hydrocarbons.
Chris Webber is Senior Lean Engineer and is part of the LSE (Lean Systems Engineering) team at Crowcon. He is lead co-ordinator of the Xgard cell move and has kindly given us a short interview to explain the importance of the move and the benefits it will bring to not only the operators on the cell and Crowcon as a company, but also to our customers worldwide.
