The largest oil refinery in the world is doubling its capacity to 1.2 million barrels a day. With this expansion, there is the requirement to increase the number of flame and gas detectors to protect the whole facility.
SharpEye 40/40I and 40/40LB Optical Flame Detectors were selected, alongside SafEye Quasar 900 Open Path Gas Detectors to provide complete protection by the most reliable detectors in over 10 years of service and the uninterrupted support that is always provided by Spectrex.
The SharpEye 40/40 Series offers enhanced reliability and durability, with detectors being able to withstand the harshest of conditions and carry Hazardous Area approvals (FM/ATEX/IECEx/CSA and more) for locations in zone I areas and 3rd party Performance approved (EN54-10, FM, DNV).
The SafEye Quasar 900 provides open path gas detection using a Xenon Flash infrared transmitter and infrared receiver. the system provides detection at up to 660ft (200m) in the harshest of conditions and carrying a range of approvals including ATEX and IECEx Hazardous Area approvals.
