Crisis and Management

Many of us will recall that it was only two years ago that a methane gas leak killed 13 Ukrainian coal miners and injured at least 61. And that a few years earlier, twelve mineworkers were killed in a methane gas explosion at the Beatrix gold mine in South Africa.

Hence it goes without saying that early detection of methane gas leaks will reduce, if not completely eliminate, risk and further help identify a potential dangerous situation before it can go out of hand. But it’s not easy identifying these leaks, because you don’t want to run the risk of being too close to to a potential explosion area. Thankfully, now you have the remote methane gas detector.

With the portable BPA Laser Methane Gas Detector you can detect a methane gas from as far as 500 ft away by just pointing and clicking a laser gun. It looks like a radar gun, and you just flip it on, aim and pull the trigger. Now you can stand back in safe distance from obstacles such as fences, pipelines, sewages and fences and detect methane gas with the hand held device. Data from the gun’s SD memory card can be downloaded to a computer for maintaining records of methane gas levels.
