We are happy to announce that the VPro Benzene gas detector is now available at Senko Europe. This benzene-specific variant on the VPro range introduces a key solution to the Senko portfolio. Ensuring safe and essential detection for those working in environments with a Benzene hazard.

Why do I need a benzene-specific gas detector?

One of the most common applications where Benzene-specific gas detectors are required is in the petroleum industry. Benzene is a natural component and byproduct of Crude oil, so from the extraction, to refining, to the waste management stage, Benzene hazards can be a concern.

With Crude oil being comprised of a range of VOC’s, many often think that applications handling this material should be using a standard VOC monitor. However, users in this application often prefer to use a benzene-specific monitor. This is because a VOC monitor will respond to all different types of VOC’s in the atmosphere, meaning readings won't always be accurate to the true VOC reading trying to be measured. Therefore, getting a good understanding of the risk in the environment can be difficult.

Benzene-specific monitors will only look for Benzene, ensuring accurate readings in environments with multiple VOC hazards. And with Benzene being one of the most dangerous VOCs to human health, having an understanding of the levels of this gas present will allow for more effective practices to be implemented. Ultimately providing a better standard of safety to the teams working in these environments.

What can the VPro Benzene gas detector offer me?
