Total Gas Detector

Our Hardware – Innovative, reliable, accurate.

• The gas monitor is CSA special acceptance approved for Class 1, Division 2 groups
  B, C & D (explosive areas).
• The rugged, durable, aluminum enclosure is explosion proof and withstands the tough environment of drilling rig operations.
• The wireless modem’s built-in security protects your data transfer.

Wireless Benefits

• Increases safety by eliminating the potential entry of poisonous gases in the geologist’s work area.
• Powerful radios are built to military specifications, software encrypted and operate with a non-line-of-sight of 8 km (5 miles).
• Saves space in the geologist’s work area.
• Safe, easy and quick to rig up.
• Less risk of freezing in colder weather with the reduction of poly lines.
• Gas content is read almost instantly increasing accuracy and safety.

Infrared Advantages

• Detects trace amounts of hydrocarbons.
• Provides excellent thin-bed resolution and fracture analysis.
• Has no known contaminants and works in the presence of moisture.
• Increased repeatability and sensor life.
• Optical filters allow detection of gases within a precise wave length.
• Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Hydrogen Sulphide, mud additives, etc. do not affect sensor readings.
• Infrared sensors are not susceptible to drift as are older technologies like Catalytic Combustion (CC) and TCD sensors.
• Infrared sensors do not require a dilution factor or ‘algorithm’ as do other technologies.
• Non-destructive sampling method (no combustion of gas sample).
• No carrier gas or Transportation of Dangerous Goods are required.
• One second sampling provides increased accuracy for geosteering.
