Oil & Gas

Oil and natural gas are integral components of our daily lives, comprising a staggering 86% of global energy demand. Derived from these fossil fuels are essential products utilised worldwide, serving as both fuel sources like gasoline and diesel, and foundational elements for the petrochemical and chemical industries.

However, the extraction, transportation, and refining processes of oil and gas are intricate and fraught with peril for both workers and assets. Among the gravest risks are fires and explosions stemming from the presence of flammable gases and liquids. Moreover, exposure to toxic gases and chemicals inherent in these processes heightens the dangers, posing threats of asphyxiation, burns, carcinogenic effects, and system corrosion.

To mitigate these hazards to life, property, and the environment, oil and gas companies adhere to stringent safety protocols. Central to these measures are portable and fixed gas detection systems, along with flame detection systems, pivotal in continuously monitoring the environment for potential dangers.

Encouragingly, due to a concerted effort to comprehend and address hazards through mandatory regulations, the oil and gas industry has witnessed a decline in safety incidents compared to previous years.

Refining – Downstream

The principal hazards at refineries are fire and explosion. Refineries process a multitude of products with low flash points. Although systems and operating practices are designed to prevent such catastrophes, they can occur. Constant monitoring is therefore required. Safeguards include Fire and Gas warning systems, emergency procedures, and permit systems for any kind of hot…
