Overview
RECOM Industriale provides advanced gas detection and monitoring solutions for safety-critical applications, particularly in marine environments. Their systems are designed to meet stringent international standards to ensure the protection of people and assets.

Gas Hazard and Detection Needs
Onboard vessels, dangerous gas concentrations can pose explosion risks, especially for those carrying flammable cargo. Gas detection systems are crucial for safety, complementing vessel design and equipment to mitigate explosion risks.

Engineered Solutions for Vessels
Gas detection solutions vary based on vessel type and application. Key considerations include application knowledge, detector features, system configuration, reliability, and compliance with Class Rules.

• Crude Oil Tankers: Require detection of flammable gases, O2, and H2S in specific areas like cargo pump rooms and ballast tanks.
• Product Carriers: Need varied detection solutions based on cargo type, including monitoring of longitudinal pipe trunks and ballast tanks.
• LNG Carriers: Must comply with the IGC Code and SOLAS Convention, equipped with extensive detection and suppression systems.

LNG as Fuel
LNG is increasingly used as a fuel to reduce emissions. The IGF Code mandates fixed gas detection systems in specific areas to ensure safety.
