Triple threat TriGas monitoring system revolutionizes safety in wastewater treatment applications
With its state-of-the-art next-gen design, the TriGas Monitoring System featuring Ultima® X3 technology from MSA delivers a total safety solution that provides exceptionally reliable protection against the water industry’s most challenging triple threat: (1) confined space oxygen deficiency, (2) hydrogen sulfide leaks (H2S) and (3) combustible gases (methane).
Confined spaces such as wastewater treatment plant tanks, vaults or other enclosed areas are among the most dangerous of workplace environments, where workers can be quickly overcome due to a lack of oxygen (O2 deficiency). H2S gas with its tell-tale “rotten egg” smell in high concentrations is another potential hazard that also causes severe life-threatening respiratory problems. Combustible gases such as methane (CH4) are commonly found in wastewater treatment plants and can explode suddenly with severe results.
