Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection Gas Detection for Offshore Exploration and Production Applications

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection specialises in the provision of high-quality gas detection solutions for use in harsh offshore exploration and production environments.

Our reliable and hard-wearing products are able to withstand corrosion and extreme weather conditions and are designed to alert users to the presence of a range of potential hazards, including carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and hydrogen sulphide, as well as flames and combustible gases.

Fixed-point gas detection systems for offshore platforms

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection’s global solutions include gas detectors that are specifically designed for harsh environments such as those encountered in oil and gas drilling and production. Solutions include wired and wireless gas detection systems that monitor toxic and combustible gases and oxygen deficiency that offer unrivaled accuracy, response time and stability.

Systems are designed to minimize or eliminate interference from sun, rain and fog, as well as vibration and corrosion.

In addition to fixed-point gas detection, Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection offers open path gas detection systems for hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and combustible gases.

Open path detection safeguards life, environment and property through reliable gas detection over path lengths from 2m (6.5ft) to 30m (100ft) or more, depending on the unit in use.

With a multitude of systems available, users can select the best technology and performance solution for the situation at hand.

Technologies include catalytic bead, infrared (IR), solid state metal oxide (MOS), photo ionization (PID), electrochemical (echem) and tunable laser diodes for open-path detection.

Integration options include onboard and remote relays, 4-20mA, HART, Modbus and wireless.

Battery-powered wireless gas detection devices

Wireless gas detection systems can be used in permanent or temporary installations, and are suitable for hazardous locations such as oil and gas platforms, production, gas processing, pipelines, wellheads and storage facilities.

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection’s SmartWireless® systems offer self-healing Mesh network, dual redundant systems for fail safe operations, up to 3km line of sight and integrated control and alarm systems for sophisticated remote area monitoring.

Our wireless systems are easy to install, move or expand, reducing time on materials and labor costs.

Flame detection systems

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection’s optical flame detection solutions include global approvals and up to SIL3 certifications, with technologies such as IR, triple IR, ultraviolet with IR (UV / IR), multi-IR, and infrared array. Systems are designed to maintain a high degree of false alarm immunity while responding effectively to hydrocarbon fires. On certain systems, closed circuit TV (CCTV) is an option for operators requiring visual verification.

Common outputs include 4-20mA, relay, Modbus and HART.

Safety controllers and alarm stations

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection offers a wide selection of modular, rack-mounted and wireless controllers to monitor field, gas and flame detection devices.

Audio / video alarm stations are easily and economically deployable in both permanent and temporary installations and are available in wired or wireless options. Designed to meet various safety requirements, these flexible and effective control solutions include a multiple visual and audible alarm options to meet the client’s specifications for indoor or outdoor applications.

Portable gas detection and area monitoring systems

For personal monitoring, Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection offers single-gas to five-gas portable gas detectors that are robust and easy-to-use. These include the zero-maintenance single gas detectors up to the five-gas detectors with internal pump, which is suitable for confined spaces.

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection offers the transportable BM25 multi-gas monitor, in both wired and wireless versions, for detection of toxic and combustible gases and oxygen deficiency. Suitable for temporary operations, multiple units can be connected and networked to monitor hazardous areas. Other area monitoring systems such as the SmartWireless® system offers expanded capabilities and up to 3km line of sight.
