Advanced laser line gas detector.

Senscient
Senscient, now part of the global safety equipment manufacturer MSA, was founded in 2004 by Mr. Lee Richman. With the improved laser technology that Senscient has developed and uses in its new laser line gas detectors, called ELDS™ (Enhanced Laser Diode Spectroscopy), combined with Senscient’s patented SimuGas™ test function, we get a highly stable detector with very high availability.

Senscient ELDS™ laser line gas detectors can detect a variety of toxic and combustible gases down to PPM levels. Additionally, it can also be supplied as a combined unit that detects both methane and H2S.

Senscient Laser
The Senscient laser line gas detector can withstand up to 95% visibility reduction without malfunctioning!
It is supplied with a robust 316L housing and features 4-20mA & HART output to the control system. The laser detector can detect gas at a distance from 0.5 to 200 meters.

For an excellent report on the operational experience with significant improvements in safety, reliability, and process uptime with Senscient ELDS™ line gas detectors on the Terra Nova FPSO, see:

Senscient ELDS™
Senscient ELDS™ Cross Duct for ventilation ducts can detect combustible gases at a distance from 0.5 meters to 5 meters. The detectors are highly sensitive and can have a measurement range of 0-10% LEL with a response time of 1 second (T90=1 second).

Additionally, Senscient has created a model called Ventilation Zone, which shares the same excellent characteristics as the Cross Duct model. However, the Ventilation Zone model can be installed in open areas in front of air ducts or larger doors leading to a safe area.

We also have a good and easy solution for cleaning lenses on gas detectors installed on ventilation ducts offshore – see more here.
