Gas detector for oil pipeline maintenance

 

Oil is an important strategic resource in the world. With the continuous development of productivity, China's demand for oil is also rising. As the most basic means of transportation for transporting large amounts of oil, oil pipelines are an important link between resources and markets. If there are problems or leaks in oil pipelines, it can easily lead to economic losses, so the maintenance and management of oil pipelines is very important. During the maintenance process, you may encounter oil and gas leaks or other flammable and toxic gas leaks. In order to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel, it is necessary to detect possible leaked gases. So what gases should be detected by a gas detector for oil pipeline maintenance?


Methane is the main component of associated gas in oil fields. If the oil pipeline is damaged, it often causes oil leakage and is accompanied by methane leakage. When the leaked methane in the environment reaches a certain concentration, there is a risk of combustion and explosion when encountering an open fire. The maintenance of oil pipelines may require welding, which may produce high temperatures or open flames. Therefore, in order to prevent fire and explosion accidents, it is necessary to detect methane gas during oil pipeline maintenance.


Oxygen is also a gas that needs to be detected during the maintenance of oil pipelines. Some oil pipeline equipment have large internal spaces and poor air circulation. When personnel perform maintenance, they need to enter the space to operate. However, because the space is semi-enclosed and the oxygen concentration is low, personnel There may be a lack of oxygen upon entry. In order to avoid personnel suffering from hypoxia, the oxygen concentration inside the oil pipeline needs to be measured before entering it.


Hydrogen sulfide gas is also a gas that is released along with oil extraction. It is mainly produced when hydrocarbons and organic matter in oil meet sulfates in reservoir water. Hydrogen sulfide is an extremely dangerous gas. Low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide can be harmful to the human body and can directly cause death in severe cases. Therefore, it is also necessary to detect whether there is any leakage of hydrogen sulfide gas during the maintenance of oil pipelines.


The gas detector used in the maintenance of oil pipelines is recommended to be the portable five-in-one gas detector ERUN-PG71S5 produced and sold by Xi'an Yingrun Environmental Protection. This instrument can detect 1-5 kinds of gases at the same time. The instrument adopts a built-in pump design. Easy to carry and quick to measure. The sensor adopts international imported brands, with high precision and fast response speed; the instrument body is small, light and easy to carry. The data storage capacity is large and supports multiple storage methods.
