Ensuring Safety, Compliance, and Operational Integrity with Dynament Infrared Gas Sensors

Why Gas Detection Matters in Hazardous Areas  

Hazardous areas, zones where explosive atmospheres may be present due to flammable gases, vapours, or dust, pose some of the highest risks in industrial operations. Found across oil & gas, petrochemicals, refineries, mining, and chemical processing, these environments demand strict safety measures.  

Even small leaks of hydrocarbons or toxic gases can:  

• Create explosive atmospheres if ignition sources are present  

• Exposes workers to harmful or lethal gas concentrations  

• Trigger costly shutdowns and downtime  

• Lead to non-compliance with ATEX, IECEx, and global safety regulations  

In these environments, reliable, certified gas detection is essential to ensure safety, compliance, and continuous operation.  

Industry Challenges: Risks of Inadequate Gas Monitoring  

Operating in hazardous zones presents unique risks where safety cannot be compromised:  

• Explosion Hazards – Flammable gases can accumulate and ignite if undetected  

• Worker Safety – Toxic exposure from gases such as CO, CO₂, or hydrocarbons endangers health  

• Regulatory Compliance – Hazardous areas demand certified detection under ATEX, IECEx, and global standards  

• Operational Disruption – False alarms, leaks, or downtime drive up operational costs and risk  

Without hazardous-area approved sensors, operators face increased risk of accidents, non-compliance, and catastrophic incidents.
