Background & Requirements

Bar screens, galleries, and dewatering rooms accumulate H₂S and methane—classic confined-space hazards requiring dense detector coverage and video linkage.

Biological treatment continuously produces H₂S and biogas; poorly ventilated galleries can exceed safe limits within minutes, posing acute poisoning risk.

Key Risks & Challenges

• Primary gases: H₂S, CH₄, NH₃, SO₂, CO, O₂
• Critical areas: Bar screen, Aeration basin, Dewatering room, Digester, Underground gallery
• Environment: High humidity, corrosive, poor ventilation, dense coverage
• Leak consequences: fire/explosion, poisoning, shutdown, regulatory penalties
• Operational gaps: insufficient coverage, delayed alarms, missed calibration, data silos
