Draeger Portable Gas Detection
See product
Offering a wide range of different gas detector sensors for fixed gas warning systems.
In any industrial gas detection system, the sensor is the most critical link in your safety chain. It acts as the primary, real-time interface between a hazardous environment and your plant safety protocols, converting complex, volatile gas concentrations into precise, actionable electrical signals. We provide exclusive technical support, application engineering, and distribution access to Draeger’s full range of electrochemical and physical sensing technologies. These industrial sensors are engineered to provide the split-second certainty required to protect your personnel, mitigate catastrophic explosive risks, and ensure the operational continuity of your processes across Eastern Canada.
Selecting the right sensing technology is not merely about finding a price point; it is about addressing specific environmental challenges, eliminating nuisance alarms, and reducing total cost of ownership through expert knowledge. Plant operators from Manitoba to Newfoundland face unique ambient conditions, varied chemical exposures, and demanding regulatory standards. Whether you are managing toxic hazards in a wastewater treatment facility, monitoring combustible hydrocarbons in a refinery, or ensuring oxygen safety in confined spaces, our specialized team focuses on solving your specific application challenges with targeted, highly reliable gas detection infrastructure.
Continuous Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) monitoring in demanding industrial environments requires absolute sensor reliability, yet traditional systems often suffer from extensive maintenance bottlenecks. The SensorAlive H₂S sensor directly solves this challenge by featuring advanced, automated self-testing capabilities. By performing regular internal health checks automatically, this technology eliminates the time-consuming necessity of manual bump testing, ensuring the device is fully operational without requiring manual labor or risking technician exposure in hazardous zones.
This application-focused design ensures maximum system uptime and continuous vigilance in high-risk toxic gas environments. The SensorAlive sensor is fully compatible with the robust Polytron 8100 transmitter and the versatile PointGard 3100 with EC Sensing Remote standalone gas detection system running the latest firmware. This integration allows plant operators to deploy a comprehensive, self-checking safety perimeter that alerts personnel long before toxic gas concentrations reach dangerous levels.
Accurately measuring combustible gases and vapors is essential for preventing explosive hazards, mitigating flash fire risks, and securing your heavy industrial facilities. Intended for integration with Draeger’s fixed gas detectors, Catalytic Bead DraegerSensors® provide continuous, non-stop monitoring of Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) levels. These sensors excel at recognizing presence across a wide spectrum of flammable substances, offering a reliable line of defense where multiple types of combustible vapors may be present simultaneously.
Industrial applications vary wildly, which is why these catalytic bead sensors are engineered in different tailored versions optimized for specific chemical concentrations, ambient temperatures, and unique environmental conditions. Rather than utilizing a generic, one-size-fits-all approach, our technical specialists help you select the exact sensor configuration that matches your environmental profile. This precision engineering minimizes sensor drift, resists environmental poisoning, and ensures that when an explosive hazard begins to accumulate, your ventilation systems and emergency shutdowns are triggered instantly.
When tracking toxic gas leaks or monitoring rapid oxygen depletion, speed and extreme cross-sensitivity control prevent workplace catastrophes. Electrochemical DraegerSensors offer industry-leading fast response times, exceptional measurement accuracy, and long-term signal stability even under fluctuating meteorological conditions. These robust, long-life sensors are specifically built for selective measurement applications, allowing you to isolate and identify the smallest parts-per-million (ppm) concentrations of toxic target gases or shifts in ambient oxygen levels.
The inherent durability of this technology drastically reduces routine calibration frequency and replacement costs over time. By utilizing specialized internal chemistry, these sensors avoid false positives from non-target background gases, ensuring that your control room receives accurate data. This level of precise monitoring is vital for confined spaces, chemical storage areas, and process enclosures where undetected leaks can quickly lead to hazardous atmospheres for entering personnel.
Eliminate the risks of sensor poisoning and drastically slash your routine maintenance overhead by upgrading your facility’s safety infrastructure to optical infrared technology. Standard catalytic bead sensors can become permanently desensitized or completely blinded when exposed to common industrial compounds like silicones, sulfides, or halogenated hydrocarbons. The DraegerSensor IR completely bypasses this chemical vulnerability, utilizing advanced infrared optics that cannot be poisoned, ensuring continuous fail-safe protection in heavy-duty hydrocarbon applications.
A primary application advantage of this system is its seamless upgrade path. The DraegerSensor IR is designed to replace existing catalytic ex-sensors (pellistors) without requiring any additional wiring, conduit modifications, or structural installation work. This plug-and-play compatibility allows plant managers to instantly elevate their facility safety profiles, reduce routine testing cycles, and solve persistent sensor failure issues in challenging environments without incurring prohibitive installation costs.
