Hi all,

I'm new to natural gas processing, and I'm just wondering what would be a good way of monitoring LEL levels at height inside a process skid, with no platforms.

Say you have a compressor, with LEL monitor on top of it close to the roof, it costs a few thousand dollars to put up scaffolding in order to replace a damaged/malfunction LEL head.

Before I look into a trolley system or possibility of infrared sensor, I wanted to know if anyone here knows a easy solution to that.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks

Can you buy a pole like the ones they put around the highway on-ramps? Open a handhole at bottom, turn a crank, and down she comes - cable and all. Calibrate, and send her back to the top.

Best to you,
