Petrochemical Industry

Refineries and other petrochemical plants need to have an emergency safety response plan in case there is, for example, suddenly an odor of rotten eggs spreading, signifying the escape of toxic, highly flammable hydrogen sulfide. Dräger helps companies implement proper emergency response programs with the necessary equipment and training.

Shutdowns for maintenance, servicing, or repair purposes are inevitable.
Dräger safety technology can help reduce the high cost of production losses associated with downtime through immediate access to rental equipment.

Cleaning, distilling, and converting crude oil into its byproducts involves hazards that are unique to each process—and for each byproduct. Dräger provides solutions for safeguarding refineries and their workers.

Refineries using pressure, cooling, and atmospheric tanks to store different gases and liquids can benefit from Dräger monitoring systems. Our stationary gas monitoring systems are equipped with electrochemical sensors and—when positioned close to potential leakage points—provide early detection of escaping ammonia, amines, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, or other toxic and explosive substances.
Dräger’s reliable and precise gas monitoring, detection, and warning systems can be a key component to the safe storage of substances, especially during filling or when there are critical changes in pressure or temperature.
