RAE Systems' Wireless Gas-Monitoring Solution Adopted by Major U.S. Oil Refinery

Marketwired
RAE Systems Inc. (NYSE Amex: RAE) today announced a major U.S. oil
refinery is the latest to employ RAE Systems' ProRAE Guardian
software and MeshGuard wireless gas-detection system. The rapidly
deployable solution protects the health and safety of onsite work
crews and contractors from hazardous and potentially flammable
atmospheric gases (see today's news release detailing the latest
updates to RAE Systems' ProRAE Guardian safety-monitoring
software).
The cost-effective and expandable solution combines the advanced
safety-monitoring software with rapidly deployable wireless
monitors to protect the perimeter of the oil-refinery facility
during a large construction project to install a Continuous
Catalytic Reformer (CCR) unit. The RAE Systems solution saves this
customer time and money compared to using fixed-detection systems
by eliminating the need to trench, bury and permit cables.
Additionally, the RAE Systems solution gives safety professionals
greater visibility and control of their safety network.
"This is a perfect example of how a dependable wireless system
can improve the way safety managers do their jobs," said Yan
Banducci, RAE System's MeshGuard product manager. "ProRAE Guardian
helps them make faster, more informed decisions by giving them more
visibility and control of their gas-detection network while the
MeshGuard system dramatically reduces installation time and
costs."
Installation and support services for this oil-and-gas industry
application were provided by Argus-Hazco, a RAE Systems'
distributor and authorized service center that offers an extensive
line of industrial health, safety and environmental monitoring
equipment, supplies and services.
Better Visibility and Control The RAE
Systems solution utilizes the latest update to RAE Systems'
field-proven ProRAE Guardian software, a real-time instrument
monitoring, management and control program that provides
mobile-command center functionality with comprehensive real-time
display of gas-and-radiation data at any time and from any
location. It gives incident commanders and industrial safety
professionals rapid access to threat-detection information for fast
and better decision-making, and quick responses to alarms.
The newly updated ProRAE Guardian now supports easy-to-deploy
cascade and continuous operation modes, along with the ability to
remotely track up to 500 wireless monitors at once. At the U.S.
production facility, more than 80 intrinsically safe detectors are
used to secure the area using ProRAE Guardian software to provide a
single, map-based display of aggregated information, which can be
viewed from anywhere and at anytime.
Reliable, Rapid Deployments The wireless
MeshGuard system is part of RAE Systems' growing portfolio of
wireless gas-detection solutions that quickly pays for itself by
eliminating the need to trench cables, and is easily installed and
operational in as little as one hour. It provides rapid deployment
in a wide range of industrial-safety and remote-monitoring
applications, and remains operational even if a node in the network
fails.
At the oil-refinery, MeshGuard monitors are mounted on movable
poles so the system can be easily reconfigured in minutes as the
work location shifts. This saves time and money compared with the
high costs of trenching underground cables required to install
fixed-detection systems.
