Hydrocarbon Detectors
We supply fixed and portable hydrocarbon gas detectors to provide reliable protection across industrial environments. Fixed detectors are ideal for continuous monitoring in petrochemical plants, fuel storage, and refineries, while portable monitors allow workers to identify leaks and protect themselves in variable conditions.
Our hydrocarbon detector range includes equipment from Bacharach and GMI, trusted for robust, industrial-grade monitoring solutions. Portable models may also be available for hire.
Reduce fire and explosion risks with our fixed and portable hydrocarbon detection systems, designed for petrochemical, energy, and manufacturing industries.
Detection is commonly achieved using infrared (IR) sensors, catalytic bead sensors, or photoionisation detectors (PIDs) depending on the hydrocarbon type and application. These technologies deliver accurate and rapid readings across the lower explosive limit (LEL) ranges. Regular calibration ensures long-term reliability and compliance with safety standards.
Hydrocarbons are a diverse group of flammable gases and vapours including methane, propane, butane, pentane, and aromatic compounds widely used in fuels, petrochemicals, coatings, and solvents. While essential to energy and manufacturing, hydrocarbons present major safety concerns: they are highly flammable, often explosive in confined spaces, and at higher concentrations may displace oxygen or cause central nervous system effects such as dizziness or headaches.
