Compressor Decks

Facilities with compressors, pumps, and valves also require continuous gas and flame monitoring. These areas are prone to spills and fugitive emissions that, if undetected, can cause extensive damage to the entire facility.

The combination of heat, pressure, and vibration in compressor decks can create leakage. This, along with broken seals and gaskets in valves or pumps, provide the fuel that can come into contact with heated parts and an ignition source to develop into a fire.

Flame and gas monitors minimize theses risks, and even provide a system to monitor for the maintenance needs of equipment. The monitors should be installed in areas overlooking compressors and pumps.
