Dangerous Gas Emissions from Back-Up Power Generators The BACKGROUND Backup power generators are fundamental to maintain a power supply in the event of a power outage. With an engine that produces exhaust emissions, gas detection equipment should be used to detect an unsafe level of gas that could potentially pose a danger to people or the facility. a1-cbiss have completed a gas detection installation project for a multi-national energy from waste company. At their facility, they have several large diesel-powered backup power generators to keep the site running in the event of a power outage. These large backup generators are housed in a small outbuilding with the exhausts being fed out into the atmosphere. The CHALLENGE Following a risk assessment, the site identified that the exhaust fum
