Landfill gas, which has approximately 50 percent methane and 50 percent carbon dioxide with trace components, is produced through bacterial decomposition, volatilization and chemical reactions. Landfill gas monitoring is therefore a critical concern for landfill operators and has become part of the legal requirements for the design, operation, and closure. When you call RKI, you will get solutions and answers to your gas detection needs.Landfill gas emissions can cause serious problems that are now widely known, especially when the gases, after escaping from the site, accumulate in enclosed spaces where they can present a latent hazard, giving rise to explosions under the certain conditions. RKI products have ensured worker safety in the oil and gas industry, fire service, mining, petrochemical, food and beverage, and construction industries, and many more. Since 1994 RKI Instruments has offered a diverse line of gas detection equipment, from portable monitors to versatile multi-point fixed systems. RKI Instruments is an innovative gas detection company located in Union City, CA. Remember, size matters – in the breathing zone If cost of ownership is important to you, then the GX-3R and GX-3R Pro are excellent solutions. They believe gas monitors should be in service for years and not decommissioned after 24 months. RKI backs up their quality with a 3-year warranty on both the instrument and the sensors for the GX-3R and the GX-3R Pro. The GX-3R Pro comes with an array of other features including a non-compliance indicator (also included on the GX-3R), man-down alarm, panic alarm, an optional attachable pump for sampling, stealth mode, lunch break mode and many more. In addition to the four confined space gasses, the GX-3R Pro’s 5th channel for toxic and infrared sensors can monitor CO2 (in ppm or % volume) or SO2, with options for HCN, NO2, NH3 or CL2 planned for 2020. An optional H2 compensated CO sensor is available as well. The O2 sensor has an exceptional 3- to 5-year life span, and H2S and CO are monitored by one combination micro-sensor. If one of the filaments is damaged, the other takes over. The LEL sensor has two active filaments to increase resistance to silicone poisoning. Both the GX-3R and the GX-3R Pro utilize a new generation of micro sensors. The app also enables the user to view device readings, configure alarms, set bump test intervals and more.Īt the heart of every gas detector is the sensor. Messages containing alarm status and GPS location will be delivered immediately whenever a worker goes into alarm. Available on iOS and Android, the user can simply pair the GX-3R Pro to their smartphone via Bluetooth and configure it to automatically send an SMS message or an e-mail to their desired contacts. The GX-3R Pro keeps workers connected to home base via the RK Link app. ![]() ![]() Worker safety can be monitored from outside of the breathing zone as well. Traditionally this meant only a single gas monitor was small enough to be practical to wear when working in confined spaces. OSHA defines the breathing zone as a 10-inch radius of the worker's nose and mouth, and requires that worker exposure monitoring air samples be collected there. They are so small they can fit in the palm of your hand, and clip comfortably in the OSHA recommended “breathing zone.” They are about half the weight and size of the average 4 or 5 gas detector. Leading gas detection equipment manufacturer RKI Instruments today announced the release of the GX-3R and the GX-3R Pro-the world’s smallest 4 and 5 gas monitors. ![]()
