Natural gas companies across the United States are realizing the importance of using technology for the detection of natural gas leaks in our communities and not relying simply on the human nose. The DeNova Detect® ML-310ES Natural Gas Detector can take the guesswork out of the equation for home or business owners when it comes to a potential natural gas leak. The ML-310ES gas detector uses micro-electromechanical systems or MEMS which allows for a more accurate and quicker response time to a leak at 10% LEL. The result allows emergency personnel to respond quickly for and an increased window of time to safely evacuate the area. The goal remains the same – protecting lives and property.

An Overview of Leak Detection Solutions for Improving Gas Safety

Detecting gas leaks early is important because if left unresolved, those leaks can lead to injuries and property damage. Multiple gas detection solutions provide early warning against these risks, but no single detection technology alone is 100 percent effective. This is where a layered approach comes in.

Improve Pipeline Leak Detection and Mitigation is on the NTSB 2021-2022 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements. Leak-detection and mitigation tools are essential and can make the difference between a minor incident and a deadly explosion.
