Gas leak confinement barrier assembly for personnel protection
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11982185B2) discloses a method for confining gas leaks to protect personnel at worksites and residential areas using a barrier assembly. The method involves arranging a barrier assembly with gas-permeable wall members connected by a lightweight frame in proximity to a gas leak. The gas is diffused through openings in the wall members to combat lateral and vertical spread of leaked gas, with the space within the barrier assembly potentially filled with a reactive material to react with the gas and combat its toxicity or corrosive nature.
Furthermore, the method includes flowing gas from one side of the barrier assembly to the other, utilizing a base to orient the wall members perpendicular to its face. The barrier assembly may consist of multiple layers, with the first layer incorporating a reactive composition within the space to enhance gas confinement. By diffusing the gas through the gas-permeable wall members, the method aims to effectively contain gas leaks and protect both personnel at worksites and non-personnel third parties in residential areas, showcasing an innovative approach to gas leak management in various settings.
