The chemical industry handles many hazardous substances. These include a large number of toxic and combustible gases, which makes it a necessity that every facet of the chemical industry is monitored to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and even the general population.
Chemical manufacturers who mix and distill combustible chemicals require gas monitoring, particularly in the tank farm area and distillation columns. These areas should also implement a secondary level of security in the form of flame detectors in the unfortunate case of a fire.
Businesses involved in the distribution of chemicals require gas monitoring at loading docks and in the transport vehicles themselves to ensure maximum safety from leaks or spills.
Those dealing with the storage of chemicals would also require gas and flame monitoring of their storage facilities.
