Wireless Application Note

Yokogawa – Wireless Gas Detection

Monitoring Solution
Yokogawa wireless solution can be an easy replacement of traditional
gas detection monitoring technology.

Application Background

The Petrochemical industry is facing increasing safety challenges caused by aging

infrastructure and sourer ( higher H2S concentration) feeds. Plants are unable to do
effective predictive maintenance in order to obtain real-time alarms in case of gas leaks,
generate timely reports of the detected gas leaks or locate personnel during an
emergency.
The current system relies on a portable gas detectors worn by field operators, radio
notifications and manual gas leak detections reports.
Yokogawa provides innovative solution that leverages wireless technology to address
these challenges. Yokogawa innovative wireless solution is based on ISA100.11a
standard.
Yokogawa's solution has been used in a variety of measurement applications including
oxygen concentration in oil refinery hydrocarbon vapors & all toxic gases .
Not only is it safe, but it also helps increase manufacturing efficiency.
