New Video Explores Increased Safety in Remote Locations Using Wireless Gas Monitoring

For Emerson and our customers, safety is the number one priority. But industrial safety goals become a big challenge in remote locations such as wellheads and tank farms. In these environments, there is the potential for toxic or combustible gas leaks, while the complexity and cost of installing a traditional gas detection system are high.

We are excited to introduce the Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor to ensure personnel and property are protected. I hope you enjoy our new video that discusses the types of problems the Rosemount 928 solves. The Rosemount 928 is best known for its ability to extend monitoring for deadly H2S gas into very difficult and remote environments. Traditionally, portable gas monitors were used by personnel as they walked through facilities to monitor for hazardous gases. But with the Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor, the facility can provide early detection for personnel before they even step onsite.

The Rosemount 928 changes the safety paradigm. It is a solution to many safety problems that require the detection of toxic or combustible gases in challenging environments. The secret behind its effectiveness is the Emerson wireless technology that allows the Rosemount 928 to be installed in any location without the need for costly wiring and conduit. Its wide operating temperature makes it appropriate for remote installations, and its hot-swappable power modules and sensors shorten and simplify maintenance.

For any customer using Emerson WirelessHART networks or planning to implement them, the integration of the Rosemount 928 is fast, easy, and cost-effective. Learn more about the promise of enhanced safety in this new Wireless Gas Monitoring video.

  • I personally agree because "As low as reasonably practicable" has changed. There are new best practices based on digital solutions to close gaps in the safety case:

    * Virtual Reality (VR) for learning
    * Digital sensors using existing fieldbus or wireless to keep up with inspection and testing, incl. condition monitoring of safety critical equipment, detect incidents, and operator situational awareness (Many of which are non-intrusive):
    -Loss of containment (corrosion and erosion)
    -Manual valve position
    -Overfill prevention
    -H2S
    -Hydrocarbon discharge to water
    -Flammable gas
    -Ignition sources (temperature)
    -Fire water and CO2 pressure
    -Switchgear used for fire water pumps
    * Digital logbook to report incidents, hazards, near-misses, and faults
    * Digital mustering headcount, rescue locating, and distress calls (RTLS)
