US-based United Electric Controls, a leading manufacturer of safety, alarm and shutdown technology, said it will be showcasing its Vanguard WirelessHart gas detector at Achema 2018 expo being held in Frankfurt, Germany.

With a five-year battery life, the Vanguard detector can enhance gas detection coverage for chemical and process industries, reducing equipment replacement and maintenance costs, said a statement from the company.

The gas detector monitors for hydrogen sulphide and methane and will be previewing new ammonia and carbon monoxide sensors, it said.

The WirelessHART-enabled Vanguard eliminates the need for expensive cabling and marshalling cabinets that are traditionally associated with wired gas detection in a chemical facility, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
