Food Industry
Food manufacturing and processing industry plays a vital role in providing safe, high-quality food products to consumers around the globe. But they also face several unique operational challenges.
Ammonia (NH3) is a colourless gas with a pungent odour. It is widely used at food processing facilities for refrigeration, however, while ammonia is safe when properly stored and used in equipment, exposure to even low levels of ammonia can be hazardous and often fatal if safe protection procedures are not in place.
Suitable Fixed Gas (NH3) Detection solutions allow for System Controllers in partnership with fixed field detectors to alert and warn operations and people via audible and visual alarms.
Provision within the System Controller can also take executive actions to shut down equipment and operations where necessary to protect both personnel, equipment and property hence, ensuring people safety and potential equipment failure cost savings to owners.
Safely monitoring the gases can be achieved by deploying a ‘Fixed’ gas detection system involving controllers and detectors often following site survey by experienced gas detection professional like ATEXIS Solutions Ltd.
