Breweries

Beer production is a challenge for gas sensing. The brewing process produces many gases, several of which will cause interference problems with any sensor that is not specific to the target gas.

The AirScan™ iCO₂ infrared sensor monitors carbon dioxide (CO₂) without interference trips and can be housed in stainless steel. The EC-F9-NH₃ electrochemical sensor is used for low-level ammonia sensing, and high-level ammonia-specific detection (in the 1-2% range) is provided by the IR-NH₃ infrared sensor. All Manning Systems sensors are available in stainless steel enclosures, if required.

For oxygen safety levels or confined space entry, the EC-O₂ electrochemical sensor has extremely long life (up to ten years at typical oxygen concentration of 20.9%) and can be monitored by Manning Systems GM-10 , GM-4 or GM-1 monitoring safety systems (down-scale or up-scale alarm). The GM-JR displays local percent level indication at a room entrance or other critical point.
