Overview

Methane gas detectors play a crucial role in industrial, commercial, and environmental safety, ensuring the detection and monitoring of methane leaks to prevent hazardous incidents. These detectors utilise various sensing technologies such as infrared, catalytic combustion, and electrochemical methods to provide accurate, real-time monitoring.

In New Zealand, methane gas detection is essential for industries like mining, agriculture, and energy production, where methane emissions can pose serious risks. Compliance with national safety regulations and environmental standards requires reliable and precise gas detection solutions. GAO Tek Inc. offers a comprehensive range of methane gas detectors designed to meet the rigorous demands of New Zealand’s industries, ensuring workplace safety and regulatory adherence.
