Recently, IGD collaborated with Jigsaw Controls on a project that saw the need for a standalone gas detector transmitter in an ATEX zone 1 potentially flammable atmosphere. Jigsaw Controls client required a continuous gas monitor to detect for methane and hydrogen sulphide in habitat shelters. IGD’s solution was to provide our advanced TOCSIN 903-X5 dual gas detector transmitter in this area, allowing for safe working in an environment that would otherwise be hazardous.

Benzene Detection in Asphalt Production
Many surfaces around the world are made with one primary material: Asphalt. Asphalt is a composite material derived from the fractional distillation of crude oil, creating a hazard to workers in its manufacturing environment. That hazard is a carcinogenic substance called benzene, which poses many risks even at low levels of exposure. Because of its harmful effects on humans, benzene detection in asphalt production is crucial.
