Project Details

Hello.

Today's post covers a FIX800 5-gas detector and gas status display panel installed at a wastewater treatment site.

Wastewater treatment facility confined space

Installation site: confined space inside a wastewater treatment plant
Gas detector: FIX800 fixed multi-gas detector
Measured items: O2 (oxygen), CO (carbon monoxide), H2S (hydrogen sulfide), EX (flammable gas), CO2 (carbon dioxide)

Monitoring: gas status display panel

Gas status display panel

The power cable was finished neatly with steel conduit. Depending on the site, either flexible galvanized conduit or steel conduit is used for the cable finishing work.

Gas detector installed underground

The gas detector responsible for worker safety was installed deep underground.

Occupational Safety and Health Act standard

All 5 gases are measured simultaneously, and if a gas leak occurs or the oxygen level drops, the system immediately triggers a sound and warning-light alarm.

Gas status display panel installed on site

The gas display panel was installed in the best location for on-site workers to check readings immediately. The display panel also supports sound and warning-light alarms.

Confined space entry check

Since accidents can happen unpredictably, workers always check the internal oxygen level and air condition before entering a confined space.

Cable routing from switchboard to control box

The wiring from the switchboard to the control box was finished neatly with steel conduit, and the system was prepared for a trial run.

Gas detector power-on and warm-up

After power is supplied, measurement begins as soon as the 1-minute warm-up period ends.

The gas monitoring display panel is a waterproof model, and it continued to display gas concentration readings reliably without any failure even during recent heavy rain.

We install gas detectors and measurement equipment in a wide range of environments and provide monitoring solutions tailored to each customer's requirements.

Please feel free to contact us anytime if you need monitoring equipment for your site.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What gas detector was installed in this case?

A FIX800 fixed multi-gas detector was installed, measuring 5 gases simultaneously: O2 (oxygen), CO (carbon monoxide), H2S (hydrogen sulfide), EX (flammable gas), and CO2 (carbon dioxide).

Q2. Where was the equipment installed?

It was installed in a confined space inside a wastewater treatment plant, with the detector unit placed deep underground and a gas status display panel installed where on-site workers can check it immediately.

Q3. What happens when a gas leak or low oxygen level is detected?

Since all 5 gases are monitored simultaneously, the system immediately triggers both a sound alarm and a warning light on detection of a leak or a drop in oxygen level. The display panel also supports the same sound and warning-light alarms.

Q4. How long does it take for the detector to start measuring after power-on?

Measurement begins automatically as soon as the 1-minute warm-up period after power-on is complete.

Q5. Is the display panel suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

Yes. The gas monitoring display panel is a waterproof model and has continued to operate reliably without failure even during heavy rain.
