The wastewater industry contains a variety of toxic and combustible gas hazards, such as ammonia, methane, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide and volatile organic chemicals. It’s nearly impossible to eliminate these hazards, so one must be able to detect them to protect equipment and personnel. This industry also has many confined spaces that contain toxic and/or flammable gases, as well as inert gases that can displace ambient air and create oxygen-deficient environments. Effective gas detection & breathing apparatus in the wastewater industry along with a disciplined approach to threat assessment, device placement and safety protocols can help protect your plant & safeguard workers.
