Background & Requirements

CTL plants include gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with syngas (CO+H₂) and H₂S. Fire & gas monitoring is core to coal chemical safety facilities.

Gasifier outlet syngas has high CO; acid gas removal produces H₂S. Large plants need scalable modular fire & gas architecture.

Key Risks & Challenges

• Primary gases: CO, H₂, H₂S, CH₄, NH₃, SO₂
• Critical areas: Gasifier, Purification, Synthesis reactor, Product tanks, Flare
• Environment: High temperature/pressure, dust, complex media
• Leak consequences: fire/explosion, poisoning, shutdown, regulatory penalties
• Operational gaps: insufficient coverage, delayed alarms, missed calibration, data silos
