Gas & Flame Detection in LNG Facilities
Gas detection and flame detection safety solutions for the oil and gas industry
Fast & Reliable Gas & Flame Detection
Multiple processes are used to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG), all of which involve refrigerating the gas and expanding it to turn it into a cryogenic liquid. Spills, leaks and subsequent explosion are risks in every operational step of LNG production, from compression and odorization to storage and distribution. While the cryogenic liquid is non-flammable, if LNG warms and vaporizes into the air, it could form a rising cloud of methane gas presenting an ignition risk. In a contained area, this could lead to an explosion. The presence of refrigerants also necessitates toxic gas detection in LNG facilities, to protect personnel from harm. Both gases and flames, such as butane, propane, and methane, must be detected at storage, compressor and filling areas. Due to the high flammability of the gas, fast and reliable detection is critical. Rosemount™ gas and flame detection solutions are ideal for monitoring and detecting gas leaks and flames at LNG facilities.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector utilizes four ultra-sensitive acoustic sensors that constantly monitor wide areas for ultrasound generated from the release of pressurized gas. Ideally suited for monitoring well-ventilated outdoor environments, the ultrasonic gas leak detector has been engineered to withstand the most extreme conditions and is unaffected by inclement weather, wind, leak direction, and gas dilution or stratification.
- Instantaneous response to all gas leaks (toxic gases, combustible gases or inert gases)
- No calibration required
- Quad sensing heads provide the widest overall gas detection range available on the market: 2 to 40 meters (7 to 130 feet)

The Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor detects hydrogen sulfide (H
2S), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxygen depletion (O
2) in remote applications previously too challenging and costly to monitor. This wireless toxic gas monitoring system enhances worker safety through early gas leak detection, simply integrates with
WirelessHART® technology, and eliminates the need for expensive wiring. The Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor easily connects to the Rosemount 628 Universal Gas Sensor which consists of a tool-less-hot-swappable smart sensor module.
- Hot-swappable electrochemical sensor module with end-of-life diagnostics can be installed in the field without tools
- Replaceable, intrinsically safe lithium-thionyl chloride power module has over two years of service life and can be easily exchanged in hazardous field locations
- WirelessHART technology is secure, cost-effective and delivers >99% data reliability
