Fixed Gas Detection
Fixed Gas Detection Systems
Fixed gas detection systems are necessary to protect your people and your process from dangerous gas concentrations, to trigger alarms, and to (potentially) activate counter-measures. This allows leak situations to be handled before they become threats to personnel, assets, or the environment.
Cross Company’s Process Solutions group can provide fixed gas detection systems for process applications capable of operating continuously 24/7/365 to be ready for any accidental gas release. These fixed gas detectors are unaffected by extreme conditions like heat, humidity, electromagnetic disturbances, or strong vibration.
Whether you need a new fixed gas detection system or an upgrade path for current gas detection equipment, Cross can help.
Components Of A Fixed Gas Detection System
Some of the components of a fixed gas detection system include
- Controllers
- Sensors
- Flame detectors
- Toxic gas and oxygen detectors
- Flammable gas detectors
- Ultrasonic leak detectors
Cross is proud to be a platinum channel partner for RKI Instruments. RKI manufactures their own sensors and controllers, so they can tightly control the quality, reliability and accuracy of their product. They are designed for the harshest environments to protect employees, assets and the environment.
Fixed Gas Detection Features
- Always on and available 24/7/365: May be connected to plant-wide communication (DCS/SCADA) for the fastest response
- No Batteries: Power supply is usually wired and often powered via UPS systems (can be solar powered with battery for remote sites).
- Usually one detector is used for a single gas or gas type (e.g. combustible or chloride);multiple gas hazards usually require multiple gas detectors.
- Calibration is much less frequent than with portable units.
- Only one detector may be necessary in the area of hazardous gas (more units may be required depending on the size of the area, the possible failure mechanisms that could release gas, the gas(es) of interest, etc.)
- A fixed detector can trigger alarms or mitigating actions through discrete or common relays, either locally or plant wide.
- A fixed monitor is useful for detecting combustible gases since it can operate continuously near potential leak sources and the potential ignition sources. A portable unit may not be in the right position or not present when a combustible gas leak occurs.
- Fixed units are also useful in checking for upset conditions releasing toxic gases thus allowing immediate corrective action. With a portable sensor a leak condition could persist indefinitely until an operator arrived in the area wearing the detector.

Protect Your Process
Nothing can protect your facility from all accidents all the time. But you can have the right equipment in place to prevent the unsafe or risky conditions that cause these accidents in the first place. And the best first step to increasing safety is the right safety equipment. Protect your process, personnel, and equipment with Cross Company.
Safety and Gas Leak Protection in Process Applications
These gas detection systems are designed to consistently monitor the air for the presence of harmful gases that may pose health risks or jeopardize the integrity of facilities. By deploying sensors strategically throughout a facility, these systems provide real-time data about gas concentrations, ensuring prompt response in case of leaks, spills, or other gas-related incidents.
In the fixed gas detection systems offered by Cross Company, safety compliance is built into the hardware. The transmitters we provide have explosion-proof protection approved for use in Class I, Div 1 (Groups B, C, D) hazardous areas (with non-explosion proof versions available for specific gases) and contain environmental shielding to keep them working in all conditions.
