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....
The science of Gas Detection: a deep dive into Thermal Conductivity and Katharometer
In the field of industrial safety, Gas detection is often synonymous with chemical sensors. However, as industries push toward the Hydrogen economy, traditional chemical and catalytic methods reach their physical limits. The alternative is a measurement principle based on pure physics: Thermal Conductivity Gas Sensing, also known as Katharometer. Understanding the Physical Principle Thermal Conductivity is an intrinsic physical property of a Gas,...
NDIR Technology: Principles and Implementation in Gas Sensing
The operating principle, operational advantages, and application of Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Sensors. Infrared (IR) sensors detect Gas concentrations by measuring the absorption of infrared light at specific wavelengths. An infrared light beam passes through the Gas and reaches the collecting optics, which splits the beam and directs it through filters onto the IR detectors. The Operating Principle of NDIR Sensors The operating principle...

Hydrogen Monitoring: Achieving Integrated Safety with the new MAK sensors
Hydrogen is regarded as the future of clean energy, but its use requires high safety standards. As a highly flammable, odourless gas with an extremely high dispersion rate, constant monitoring is not only an operational necessity but also a critical requirement for every infrastructure, from electrolyzers to refuelling stations. In this scenario, traditional detection technologies, such as pellistors and electrochemical cells,...
Understanding ATEX Directives: Workplace and Equipment Safety Standards
What does ATEX stand for? The term ATEX is derived from the French title of the 94/9/EC directive: Appareils destinés à être utilisés en ATmosphères EXplosibles. It encompasses two European Directives that establish minimum safety requirements for equipment and workplaces within explosive atmospheres. What are the two primary ATEX Directives? ATEX legislation is divided into two specific areas of responsibility: Directive 1999/92/EC (Workplace Directive):...
