Mitigating Climate Risk and Enhancing Operational Safety 

Imagine an offshore rig hundreds of miles from land. An unseen, odourless, and highly flammable methane leak develops within minutes, putting safety, production, and compliance at risk. In these environments, early and accurate detection isn’t optional; it’s essential. 

That’s where Dynament’s infrared (IR) gas sensors deliver peace of mind. Built to perform in extreme conditions, our sensors provide the accuracy, durability, and reliability operators need to protect people, assets, and the environment. 

Industry Challenges in Methane Detection 

Monitoring methane offshore or in refineries is no easy task. Operators face several hurdles: 

• Harsh Operating Conditions: Temperature swings, high pressures, and contaminants can degrade sensor performance. 

• Power Constraints: Platforms rely on limited or remote power, making low-consumption devices vital. 

• Strict Compliance: Global regulations demand certified, proven technology. 

• Mobility Needs: Portable solutions must be rugged, lightweight, and dependable for field use. 

Dynament’s Solution 

Dynament offers a range of methane detection sensors designed to withstand these challenges. These combine infrared sensing with robust flameproof designs and low-power operation. 

Key Product Highlights 

• Platinum Series Hydrocarbon Infrared Sensors (Flameproof)

• Even in volatile offshore environments, rapid, accurate detection of methane and other hydrocarbons is required.

• Low Power Dual-Gas Methane/CO₂ Infrared Sensors 

• Combines efficiency and versatility—ideal for handheld, battery-powered devices in challenging refinery and offshore conditions. 

• FGD5/6-IR Flameproof Fixed Gas Detectors 

• Continuous monitoring for certified hazardous areas, designed for durability and low maintenance in remote installations. 

• FGD10A Flameproof Fixed Gas Detector (Infrared Version)
• Delivers fast response times and repeatable accuracy, helping operators reduce downtime and long-term ownership costs. 

Why Dynament’s Infrared Technology Stands Out

• Flameproof Design 

• Explosion-proof enclosures ensure safe operation in high-risk environments. 

• Energy Efficiency 

• Low power consumption extends battery life in portable units, reducing operational costs. 

• Certifications and Reliability 

• Built to meet globally recognized standards, giving operators confidence in safety and compliance. 

Beyond Offshore: Broader Applications 

Dynament’s methane detection solutions are trusted across industries, including: 

• LNG and petrochemical processing 

• Gas pipelines and distribution networks 

• Chemical manufacturing plants 

• Underground storage and transport hubs 
• Power generation facilities 

Best Practices for Deployment 

Match the Sensor to the Context 

• Portable: Low-power sensors for handheld and personal monitoring. 
• Fixed: FGD series detectors for continuous environmental surveillance. 

Account for Cross-Sensitivity 

• Dynament sensors can detect multiple hydrocarbons. For precise calibration, consider known gas compositions and environmental factors (see our Understanding Hydrocarbon Sensor Relative Responses blog)

Plan for Environmental Conditions 

• Ensure temperature, pressure, humidity, and installation align with sensor specifications. 

Maintain Compliance 

• Regular calibration and maintenance help extend sensor life and ensure ongoing regulatory compliance. 

Summary: Confidence Offshore with Dynament 

From rugged fixed detectors to ultra-efficient portable sensors, Dynament delivers methane monitoring solutions built for the most demanding environments. Whether for compliance, safety, or environmental responsibility, our infrared technology provides unmatched performance where it matters most.
