Detect dangers early with fixed gas detection
—Fixed gas detection is essential in industrial facilities where hazardous substances are present. Dräger provides solutions that detect over 400 toxic and combustible gases, vapours and oxygen to ensure safety and efficiency. Our robust gas detection systems meet stringent requirements and are reliable even in challenging environments. With our innovative sensor technology, we support safe operations worldwide.
Additionally, we offer consulting and planning as part of a complete solution that encompasses engineering, installation, and ongoing maintenance - because your safety is our highest priority.
Toxic gases & oxygen detection
Safeguard your environment with precise detection of toxic gases and oxygen levels, ensuring a safe and regulation-compliant workspace.
- Detection of over 140 toxic gases, such as H₂S, H₂O₂, NH₃, Cl₂, and CO₂
- In-house developed electrochemical and infrared sensors, designed for reliability and longevity
Flammable gas detection
Ensure the safety of your safety of both your employees and assets with reliable monitoring of flammable gases and vapours, preventing potential risks.
- Detection of combustible gases, including both hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons
- Infrared (IR), catalytic bead, and open path sensors for precise and comprehensive monitoring
Flame detection
Our modern flame detectors offer early fire detection for industry and critical infrastructures, reducing risks and enabling rapid response. Key features are:
- Detection of radiant energy in UV, IR, and visual spectrum
- Identification of flames from various fuels and gases, including specific fire types like H₂ and metal fires
- Robust construction designed for use in explosion-prone areas

Controller
The controller analyses signals from the transmitter, triggering alarms and countermeasures if necessary. Dräger systems are modular and highly expandable.
Complete data transparency through integration with data management and external control systems.
DrägerSensors
The sensor is the heart of gas detectors, converting gas concentration into an electrical signal via chemical or physical processes. Dräger develops and produce a wide range of sensors for fixed gas detection systems.
Further gas detection system components
Different system components for analysis purposes and for optimising and maintaining your gas detection system, from software and visualisation panels to sampling units.
More gas detection units
Wearable gas detection units for personal safety in different applications such as confined space entry (CSE). See our single and multigas detectors with connective apps, gas detection tubes and solutions for area monitoring and gas analysis.
Dräger's highlights of innovative fixed gas detection
—
Dräger Polytron 8100 EC
Explosion proof transmitter for the detection of toxic gases or oxygen. It uses a high performance electrochemical DrägerSensor® to detect a specific gas. Besides a 3 wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays, it also offers Modbus and Fieldbus protocol making it compatible with most control systems.
MetCam Gas Camera
The system is designed to monitor large areas for methane leaks and to visualise the source and intensity of the leaks. The camera is able to detect even low emissions.
Dräger Polytron 8900 UGLD
The early warning area monitor is designed for detecting outdoor high-pressure gas leaks. It utilises an ultrasonic acoustic sensor that registers the sound of leaking gas, irrespective of wind direction.
Dräger Flame 1750 H₂ (IR3)
Thanks to its advanced triple IR sensor technology, this fixed gas detector identifies hydrogen-based fires. It offers high reliability and effectively minimises false alarms, even under extreme temperatures.
Wireless IoT solution
The X-node converts measurement data—like gas concentration, temperature, humidity, and pressure—into accessible information via web portal, enabling efficient analysis and visualisation.
Industrial gas detection systems and monitoring systems
—Every gas detection application is different: site and company conditions, potentially hazardous areas and legal requirements all play an important role.
To solve this, Dräger offers complete end-to-end solutions, including consulting, engineering and maintenance.
Hazardous substances and gas detection
—We offer a uniquely wide range of DrägerSensors – for more than 400 toxic and flammable gases and vapours as well as oxygen, measuring by vol. %, % LEL, ppm or ppb. With our free substance database, we will guide you to the right fixed gas detectors.
