GasSecure GS01 - Wireless Gas Detection

Truly wireless, the GasSecure GS01 combines single-beam triple-wavelength infrared (IR) technology with extremely low power consumption, to provide fast hydrocarbon gas detection in the most demanding and hazardous of environments. The GS01 helps create value for the customer through reliable infrared operation, calibration free design and has been demonstrated to dramatically reduce installation cost and time.

GS01 Wireless Gas Detector

GasSecure offers the world’s first truly wireless IR gas detector for demanding industrial applications. The GS01 is used to detect the presence of hydrocarbon gases and warn operators of the risk of fire or explosion. Its ultra-low power design and small integrated battery pack enables up to two years of continuous operation.*A large scale customer has seen up to 60 – 80% savings on total project costs because of dramatically reduced installation cost and time. The wireless communication is based on the open ISA100 Wireless^™ standard – which means simplified integration with other commercially available field wireless devices and control systems.

Benefits

Significant cost and time savings when compared to wired gas detection system*

No cabling means hugely improved installation flexibility

Reduced maintenance overheads due to lifetime calibration

Easily transferrable between projects (eg. shutdowns, turnarounds, maintenance)

No sensor drift due to lifetime calibration – therefore no false alarming

Rapid response times mean early warning and increased plant safety

Applications

The GS01 is proven in the field to be a flexible and cost efficient solution for plant expansions, revamps, upgrades and new greenfield projects. Just some of the applications include:

Oil & gas production platforms
Oil & gas exploration rigs
Storage tank farms
Shutdown / turnaround and end of life operations
Petrochemical plants & refineries
Gas terminals & processing plants
FPSO / FLNG vessels

Technology

Infrared sensor technology is taken to the next level using patented MEMS (Micro Electromechanical System) optical filters. The device filters, focuses and switches light continuously, thereby establishing the gas and reference measurement. GS01 technology achieves fast and ultra-low power operation with life-long zero point stability. The innovative hardware design is supported by GasSecure’s patented SafeWireless^™ communication system that meets the requirements of reliability, fast response times, availability and power efficiency – all with full control of network traffic.
