About Senscient ELDS OPGD

ELDS is a new open path gas detection (OPGD) system based on innovative Enhanced Laser Diode Spectroscopy (ELDS) detection technology. ELDS OPGD systems provide many unique and attractive features designed to fulfill the promise of truly fit‑and‑forget open path gas detection.

Senscient ELDS OPGD Features & Benefits:

• Reliable, open path detection of gas at levels low enough to provide early warning of catastrophic events
• Detection Limits are 3 orders of magnitude lower than any other OPGD product
• No false alarms from any other hydrocarbon gases including diesel fumes or oil mist
• True ease-of-installation, with vibration and misalignment tolerant optics
• SimuGas™ feature provides ability to accomplish on-demand, remote functionality testing
• FIRST and ONLY Toxic open path system to meet current industry Safety Performance Standards
• Proven technology, tested to meet oil and gas industry safety standards
• Up to 60% lower project capital expense and cost of ownership

An industry first, new Senscient ELDS™ Series Open Path Gas Detectors (OPGDs) feature truly false-alarm free flammable and toxic gas detection. ELDS gas detectors solve a problem common in the oil and gas industry: unreliable readings causing false alarms that cost millions of dollars in lost revenue annually. Safety systems triggered by the detection of potentially hazardous gases typically shut down processes and facilities to prevent catastrophe. But when a false alarm triggers the system, productivity is lost while the alarm origin is investigated, false alarm status is verified, and processes are slowly brought back on line.

Using Enhanced Laser Diode Spectroscopy (ELDS), ELDS detectors automatically ignore interferences from any non-target gases and vapors such as organic surfactants, alcohols, diesel fumes and oil mist or atmospheric elements such as rain, fog, and snow that can cause spurious alarms for traditional NDIR or LDS-based open path gas detection systems. This makes ELDS detectors especially appealing in safety applications where increased uptime performance is required in environmentally challenging installations.

ELDS Series 1000 and 2000 detectors in a separate transmitter and receiver configuration are capable of establishing coverage from 5 to 40 meters, and up to 200 meters, depending upon the target gas and the required Minimum Reliably Detectable Quantities for the target gas of choice. A target gas reading from anywhere along its beam triggers either an isolated single or dual, analog or digital communications signal to a remote safety PLC.

Ultra-sensitive and false alarm-free ELDS technology provides the operator with the absolute certainty of a gas leak as well as the earliest warning response of any other methane or hydrogen sulfide detection technology on the market today. The result provides precious time for remedial action to shut down plant processes and evacuate personnel only when necessary.

ELDS Series 1000 and 2000 gas detectors are designed to meet or exceed current toxic and flammable gas detection global safety standards for offshore oil drilling platforms, FPSO's, onshore petrochemical facilities and oil refineries.
