| Estados Unidos: Nuevo detector de gas puede "ver" el etanol (en inglés)
30

2008
A new gas detector that
reacts to toxic or explosive concentrations of ethanol has
been developed by Sensor Electronics of Minneapolis.
Like gasoline, ethanol is extremely volatile and explosive.
It's also toxic: In high concentrations it displaces oxygen,
leading to asphyxiation and possible death.
This new infrared gas detector "sees" even minute traces of
ethanol, making it ideal for protecting biofuel refineries
converting corn, soybeans, sugar cane, beets, seaweed and
other vegetation into the gas.
It's designed for applications in biofuel processing plants,
pipelines, pumping stations, storage facilities, fuel dumps,
distribution networks and the like.
Calibration is quick, easy: The gas detector simply sniffs a
whiff of ethanol, then locks itself into ethanol's chemical
"signature." Thereafter, any significant concentration
triggers an immediate warning.
Because this self-contained gas detector uses no mirrors or
beam-splitters, it shrugs off rain, snow, fog, smog. It also
ignores temperature/pressure/humidity extremes, as well as
interference (false signals) from other gases.
The cylindrical unit measures 8 inches high overall, 2.5
inches diameter. The stainless-steel housing cannot rust or
corrode, meaning exceptional operating life.
Sensor Electronics has many other gas detection products
available.
