Wherever large quantities of dust are stored, transported or mixed – in industries such as chemical, food, cement or water treatment – the risk of explosion must be controlled. Mixed with oxygen from air the small particles can easily ignite. Although every plant is different, the fundamental safety requirements of controlling oxygen levels is the same.
Most operators prefer a complete solution for controlling and monitoring Oxygen (O2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), rather a set of separate analyzers. A complete packaged system is guaranteed to work efficiently and not all plants will have personnel who are sufficiently trained to operate and maintain different systems or have the resources to deal with several manufacturers.
