Dräger launches new era in gas detection at Gastech Expo
Visitors to Gastech, London 8-11 October, will be amongst the first to see a new innovation by safety specialist, Draeger Safety UK Ltd. which marks a major step forward for fixed gas detection.
Dräger will unveil its new Polytron 8000 flammable or toxic gas detector series at the exhibition. Designed specifically to measure gases using a uniform operating principle this new innovation will make the entire process of fixed gas detection much easier from an operator point of view.
The development comes at an important time for the oil and gas sector. Demand is rising, forcing the need to search out gas and oil reserves in increasingly inaccessible and hostile environments.
As well as the new Polytron 8000, Dräger will be showcasing the Polytron 5000 which launched earlier this year and the existing Polytron 3000 and 7000 range.
All devices in the Polytron range feature durable sensors, short response times, high sensitivity and accuracy, ensuring highly reliable gas detection.
The advantages of the newest additions to the Polytron series include low sensitivity to other gases or changing ambient conditions, simplified handling and easier maintenance, without sacrificing functionality.
Because all the microprocessor-based transmitters in the Polytron 5000 and 8000 series have the same design and user interface they can warrant a uniform operating philosophy meaning less of a training requirement.
Steve Holloway, Oil and Gas Manager at Dräger, comments: “We’ve been developing and manufacturing gas detectors and sensors for industrial use for more than 40 years and are proud of our ability to evolve in line with the changing demands of customers and industry.
“The development and release of the new range of Polytron 5000 and Polytron 8000 products shows our continued commitment and focus on our oil and gas customers, listening and responding to their increased requirements for safety and for environmental protection. Our customers are under increased pressure to ensure that projects are on time and not subject to costly delays, whilst also maintaining the highest level of safety for both plant and personnel.
“The very nature of these products and their uniform operation means that there is less of a time commitment for staff training and ongoing maintenance of the products, so our customers can get on with the task in hand.”
