Gas Detection in Power Plants: Ensuring Safety, Efficiency, and Operational Continuity
In the 2026 energy landscape, gas-fueled power plants can compensate the intermittency of renewable sources; however, managing the chemical energy of natural Gas requires extreme precision.
For gas detection system manufacturers, providing reliable solutions for thermal power plants is a key priority.
Certified Safety: SIL2 and ATEX Compliance
In the power supply industry, certifications are the primary drivers of trust.
- Functional Safety: All N.E.T. infrared sensors are SIL2 rated, offering the highest certified safety integrity level for individual gas sensing elements.
- Rugged Integration: NET HEADS (stainless steel, ATEX/IECEx certified enclosures) ensure that our sensing technology operates flawlessly in extreme environments, from -40°C to +60°C.
| Technology | Targeted Gas | Application |
|---|---|---|
| NDIR (IRNET-PRO) | Methane (CH4), CO2 | Turbine enclosures & Fuel lines |
| NDIR (IREF-PRO) | SF6, Refrigerants | GIS Rooms & HV Substation safety |
| MAK (Katharometer) | Hydrogen (H2) | Generator cooling & Electrolyzers |
| Electrochemical | Ammonia (NH3), CO, | SCR emission control systems |
Technical FAQ for Instrument Manufacturers
Why should I choose NDIR sensors for methane detection in power plants?
NDIR sensors are fail-safe and immune to common industrial contaminants (like silicones) that deactivate catalytic sensors. N.E.T. NDIR sensors provide dependable accuracy over time, significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the end-user.
Is N.E.T. technology compatible with legacy plant systems?
Absolutely. Through our CYBER transmitter boards, our digital sensors can be interfaced with standard 4-20mA or ModBus RS-485 outputs, allowing for a seamless integration into existing plant SCADA and safety systems.
