Green Instruments Launches Combustible Dust Monitor

11-05-2012

Green Instruments has just launched a new instrument that is designed to measure the dust concentration in cargo hull spaces where clouds of combustible dust may arise. The first delivery has already been shipped to Canada.

The dust that is generated while handling grain, wood, coal, ore, and many other bulk materials is combustible. This means that that the monitoring of duct is especially important when loading and discharging dry bulk cargoes. The system can be used in cargo hull spaces and in other factory facilities, grain mills, etc.

All it takes to ignite a fire or an explosion is the following factors:

• A sufficient fuel source (dust concentration above the Lower Explosive Limit - LEL)
• Oxygen
• Heat or just a spark

Dust concentrations that are 20% lower than the lower explosive limit (LEL) are considered safe and without the risk of fire and explosions. The system has two alarms that will be activated if the predetermined dust concentrations are reached. This means that you will be able to react in time to avoid the occurrence of the explosion factors.

 The G2100 Combustible Dust Monitor is easy to use and designed to resist handling and weather exposure.
