3. Sensor implementation methodologies for the oil and gas industry

In this section, readers are invited to examine gas detector installation practices in the oil and gas industry. This section covers only outdoor installations, where the location of detectors is complicated by the difficulty of predicting aeraulic movements. Some of these installations have several hundred gas detectors. This has led to the development of macroscopic detector layout methodologies and performance verification tools.

3.1 Prescriptive approach

The prescriptive approach involves provisioning detectors according to pre-established layout rules. Many parameters need to be taken into account when positioning detectors, and it is difficult to define the best position in a general way. However, there is a need for a consistent approach to the design...
