The GDU-Incus is designed to detect a pressurised gas release while remaining unaffected by background noise within the ultrasonic frequency range and noise outside the ultrasonic frequency range.
The unit underwent vigorous testing to demonstrate proper operation in the most hazardous environments for the oil and gas industry – detecting gas leaks and avoiding false alarms despite unwanted alarm sources under conditions typically experienced offshore.
False alarm testing included typical routine maintenance operations such as jet washing, grinding and cutting, with their elevated audible noise levels.
MICROPACK (Engineering) Ltd is based at its own purpose built facility at the Grampian Fire Brigade's Fire Training Centre in Portlethen, Aberdeen. This is the only facility in the Grampian area permitted to burn 'fires'. This uniquely benefits Micropack in the expertise and facilities available to us in the area of Fire and Gas Detection research work.
