FIX800 Installed-Type Gas Detector: Installation Case Studies in Research Labs and Industrial Facilities

Hello! In today's industrial environment, technology that satisfies both safety and efficiency at the same time is becoming increasingly important. In precision environments such as research institutes and laboratories in particular, an installed-type gas detector that can accurately measure gas concentration is essential.

Today, we would like to introduce a successful installation case of the FIX800 gas analyzer, optimized for laboratory environments, carried out together with a professional installation team. We will walk you through the outstanding performance of the FIX800 and its installation process, and explain in detail what value it delivers in a laboratory environment.

Key Features of the FIX800 Gas Analyzer

1. Simultaneous Multi-Gas Analysis
The FIX800 offers the outstanding ability to analyze multiple gases simultaneously — up to 4 gas sensors, or 5 when a combined CO/H2S dual sensor is used. Because it supports more than 40 sensor types, sensors can be combined to match a wide variety of installation environments, ensuring stable data even under complex experimental conditions. Using a pre-treatment unit, it can also be installed in environments exposed to temperature, pressure, and humidity.

Under relevant regulations, the sensors most commonly used for safety purposes include oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and combustible gas (EX); sensors frequently used in research institutes and laboratories include hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4); and sensors mainly required in chemical facilities include nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and volatile organic compounds (VOC). In total, more than 40 sensor types can be installed, and combinations can be customized to fit up to 4 sensors at once (5 when a combined CO/H2S dual sensor is used).

2. High-Precision Sensors and Technology
Equipped with high-sensitivity sensors, the FIX800 can detect even minute concentration changes in real time. As equipment that complies with the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, it is an essential tool for safety management at industrial sites and research institutes.

3. IoT-Ready: Seamless Integration with FIX-AP
When linked with FIX-AP, the FIX800 can be upgraded into an IoT environment. Through the real-time Data Cloud Monitoring System (DCMS), data can be managed from a variety of devices such as PCs, mobile phones, and tablets. It can also trigger alarms when an issue arises, allowing for a quick response.

The images below show a case where the FIX800 and FIX-AP were installed together at a wastewater treatment plant in Incheon, along with the real-time concentration status tab on the DCMS web monitoring screen.

Laboratory Installation Case

Not long ago, FIX800 was installed at a research institute. This facility carried out chemical reaction experiments and process testing in a confined space. With its previous equipment, data accuracy was low and rework was frequent, but after introducing the FIX800, there was significant improvement.

Main Gases Used at the Research Facility

• CO (carbon monoxide): Essential for combustion reaction experiments.
• O2 (oxygen): Monitored in real time to prevent oxygen deficiency.
• H2 (hydrogen): Monitored during chemical reaction experiments.
• CH4 (methane): Frequently measured in fuel-related research.
• H2S (hydrogen sulfide): Used in experiments involving corrosive gas generation.

Improvements After Introducing FIX800

1. Accurate analytical data: Precise gas analysis significantly increased the reliability of experimental results.
2. Real-time problem diagnosis: Changes in gas concentration during experiments were detected immediately, allowing problems to be identified quickly.
3. Efficient data management: Data is automatically saved through the cloud system, making long-term storage and management much easier.

Chemical Process Facility Installation Case

The installation of FIX800 at a chemical manufacturing plant is also noteworthy. This facility had a working environment where combustible and toxic gases were both present, making accurate gas concentration measurement critical. Introducing the FIX800 enabled safer process management.

Main Gases Used at the Chemical Process Facility

• CO2 (carbon dioxide): A major gas emitted during the process.
• CH4 (methane): Monitored as a combustible gas.
• NO2 (nitrogen dioxide): Generated during combustion and chemical reactions.
• SO2 (sulfur dioxide): A toxic gas whose emissions are managed during the process.
• VOC (volatile organic compounds): Detected as vapor concentrations of chemical substances.

Key Effects After FIX800 Installation

1. Enhanced process safety: Sensors detect combustible and toxic gases simultaneously, preventing accident risk in advance.
2. Data-driven operations management: Analyzing data stored in the cloud enables process improvement and greater efficiency.
3. Increased maintenance efficiency: Linking with FIX-AP allows continuous monitoring of equipment condition, optimizing maintenance cycles.
