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

Controllers
The controllers analyse signals from connected transmitters, activating alarms and countermeasures when required. Dräger systems are modular and highly expandable, allowing you to adapt to changing safety requirements. Integration with data management and external control systems ensures complete data transparency.
DrägerSensors
At the heart of every fixed gas detection system is the sensor, which converts gas concentrations into electrical signals through chemical or physical processes. Dräger develops and manufactures a wide range of sensors, ensuring reliable performance across various applications.
Additional System Components
Enhance your gas detection setup with additional components designed for analysis, optimisation, and maintenance. Options include software, visualisation panels (such as the Dräger VVP 1000), and sampling units to keep your system running at peak performance.
Portable Gas Detectors
For personal safety in various applications—such as confined space entry (CSE)—Dräger offers a complete range of portable gas detection solutions. From single- and multi-gas detectors with connected apps to gas detection tubes, area monitoring, and gas analysis devices, our solutions help ensure worker safety everywhere.
Dräger's highlights of innovative fixed gas detection
—
Dräger Polytron 6100 EC WL
The wireless transmitter monitors toxic gases and oxygen, is intrinsically safe and SIL2 rated. The battery pack allows for up to 24 months of continuous operation.
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.
Flame & gas detection applications
—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.
Better engineering starts with the right questions
—Your gas detection application is specific to your site and company conditions, potential hazardous areas and legal regulations. A dedicated team of engineers and technicians from various disciplines will work out a solution proposal that best meets your specific requirements. The projects are implemented according to the agreed schedule by a team of specialists in the fields of planning, installation and commissioning.
We deliver complete end-to-end consulting – from design to equipment specification and installation guidance. Our specialist teams have full in-house capability to assess hazardous environments in any application. They use proactive analysis including advanced technology, such as flame/gas mapping and custom wireless solutions to develop a suitable solution for your specific needs.
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.
