Replacing, adding or moving gas detection can be expensive as a result of material and labour costs for design and installation of cable infrastructure. Wired gas detectors can also place constraints on where gas detectors can be located.
Wireless gas detection is a new technology to National Grid UK Gas Transmission. It has not been used before to provide detection within a compressor cab environment. A wireless gas detection has the potential to provide:
The aim of this innovation assessment project is to determine whether wireless gas detection can be used in Gas Transmission compressor cabs.
