Home/Solutions/LNG & Natural Gas

One methane leak on a compressor deck can shut down a terminal for weeks. One
undetected H2S release at a sour-gas valve room can cost lives. ACTION has spent 28
years building gas detection systems for the natural gas chain — from wellhead to city
gate — and ships a SIL2- and CE-certified natural gas detector, methane detector and
H2S gas detector with layouts, alarm setpoints and integration documentation your EPC
can approve on the first pass. It is a complete gas detection system for oil and gas
operations, not a box of standalone gas leak detectors.

The Risks Across Your Facility
LNG Tank Farm & Jetty
CH4 cloud formation, O2 asphyxiation
Asset loss, offloading shutdown
Compressor Stations
Seal/failure CH4 accumulation
Explosion, unplanned outage
Sour-Gas Valve Rooms
H2S (lethal at 700 ppm)
Fatality risk, regulatory action
Regasification & BOG
CH4, cryogenic O2 displacement
Confined-space incidents
City Gate & Regulator Stations
CH4 in populated areas
Public safety, license to operate
A Detection Architecture Your EPC Will Approve

Every ACTION gas safety system follows a proven three-layer architecture that maps directly to your
plant's DCS/SCADA standard:

1
Detection
AEC2232bX detectors at
every leak source, positioned
per gas density (CH4 above,
H2S below, CO at breathing
height)
2
Local Intelligence
AEC2392a-BM controller (4-
32 channels) with per-channel
relays driving shut-off valves,
fans and sounders — safety
action even if SCADA is down
3
Plant Integration
Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet or
4-20 mA into DCS/SCADA;
GPRS/4G/NB-IoT telemetry
for remote valve rooms

Multi-Gas Points and Confined-Space Entry

Where jetty control rooms, analyzer shelters or loading racks face several hazards in one spot, a multi-
gas detector can combine a combustible gas detector with a toxic gas detector and an oxygen (O2)
detector on a common controller. For vessel entry, tank inspections and maintenance in remote valve
rooms, ACTION supplies portable gas detectors and portable gas leak detectors that use the same
calibration standards as the fixed gas detection system — so the readings crews trust on site match
the readings in the control room.
