Emerson has introduced two new sensors to its Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor platform. The Rosemount 628 Universal Gas Sensor series now includes sensors to monitor for the presence of carbon monoxide and for the depletion of oxygen. These additions allow safety managers and other process plant personnel to oversee a wider range of hazardous environments.
Produced by a multitude of combustion processes, carbon monoxide is immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) at concentrations above 1,500 ppm. Likewise, many industrial processes consume oxygen, depleting atmospheric oxygen supply in localized areas. Any situation where the oxygen content drops below 19.5% is IDLH. In many cases, carbon monoxide production and oxygen depletion can occur simultaneously, presenting compounding hazards.
The first Rosemount 628 Universal Gas Sensor was designed to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S) due to its pervasiveness in process industries. Like the H2S sensor, the new CO and O2 depletion gas sensors are also smart, tool-less, and hot-swappable, allowing for seamless integration into the Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor.
The Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor is a highly versatile platform for monitoring high-risk locations in manufacturing plants, pipeline stations, and remote wellheads, among a variety of other process facilities. Easily deployed using a WirelessHART® network, this gas monitor can be deployed in areas considered too expensive or unsuitable for installation of traditional wired equipment.
With the expansion of the Rosemount wireless toxic gas sensor portfolio, companies can simply and cost-effectively increase gas safety across even their most remote sites.
