Planning for functional safety requires an understanding of process hazards, relevant industry standards and local codes, and available product and system solutions. Here’s how Det-Tronics approaches the challenge.

Fire is one of the most critical hazards in any facility, and industrial processes that involve volatile and potentially flammable materials present challenges for fire protection. These 10 tips can help you meet this challenge.

Learn how to protect your staff, facilities and operational continuity with a Det-Tronics fire and gas safety system engineered to meet NFPA 820® and other standards.

Many of today’s optical flame detectors offer excellent performance in terms of reliability and false alarm immunity. But what happens when these detectors are exposed to harsh conditions such as blowing desert sands, heaving permafrost or corrosive

This white paper explores how the speed of detection can spell the difference between a suppression event and a facility-crippling disaster. Learn how optical detectors can give you an edge compared to linear heat cables.

White paper describing why functional safety product certifiers should meet the highest level of accreditation.

Some types of gas detectors keep an eye on production processes. Others, relying on a number of different technologies, can help save lives. While both functions are important in industrial operations, there are significant differences between gas de

Best practices for fire protection in high hazard manufacturing areas are covered in this white paper.

There is more to detecting hydrogen flames than meets the eye. In fact, most people cannot see a hydrogen flame. This paper provides some tips and best practices for tackling this difficult flame detection challenge.

This white paper explores the why, what and how of properly and effectively integrating two critical systems in today’s high-hazard industrial applications; fire and life safety and process control.

Fire is one of the most critical hazards in any built environment, and industrial processes and facilities that involve volatile and potentially flammable materials present special challenges for fire protection.
