Methane Gas Detectors and Sensors
Methane (CH4) is odorless and colorless and becomes flammable and combustible when mixed with oxygen or other gases. This gas forms naturally as organic matter decays and is a component of natural gas. Because of this, the presence of methane poses a risk in various commercial or industrial settings. Gas detectors help prevent fire and other catastrophic events by providing continuous methane gas monitoring. Applications where methane gas detectors are widely utilized include:
- Landfills
- Petroleum refineries
- Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants
- Organic chemical processing facilities
- Buildings using natural gas for heat and electricity
Configurable Solutions for Methane Detection and Monitoring
RC Systems is a global leader in gas detection and alarm controllers. Our configurable SenSmart gas detectors and sensors offer reliable detection of methane and combustible gases. We build each methane gas monitor with infrared sensor technology, which is the preferred method for a methane gas detection system. These long-lasting sensors detect and measure atmospheric methane levels and are compatible with a range of operating temperatures and conditions.
We offer methane gas detectors in several models to meet a range of application requirements. Features of our single point and dual sensor methane gas detectors include:

Sensors Are the Only Way to Minimize Methane Gas Exposure
Methane gas only becomes toxic to humans when it mixes with other gases. At high levels, methane replaces oxygen in the atmosphere, which can lead to asphyxiation. Symptoms leading up to this include nausea, headache, dizziness, and eventually, unconsciousness. A CH4 gas detector significantly minimizes these risks by sending an alert before atmospheric levels become dangerous.Methane gas detectors are a critical part of preventing methane gas exposure. Installing sensors throughout your facility ensures adequate coverage and is imperative for worker safety.
