A tool for Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)...

The TGM combines a simple sensing technology with solid engineering to excel at a monitor's three most important tasks-- It takes the uncertainty out of toxic gas monitoring, enhances the effectiveness of an EHS program and maximizes return-on-investment.

When you buy a monitor for toxic gases, you have protection in mind, but a monitor can't tell you whether it's really able to sense toxic gas at every moment, it exposes your people and your company to unacceptable and unnecessary risk. The TGM's detection technology continiously gas-test itself, from moment to moment, so every time it reads zero you know it's operating properly and no toxic gas is present. Continuous gas testing take the uncertainty out of toxic gas monitoring.

Since every sensing technology is suceptible to some form of interference, emergency response may include dispatching specially trained personnel to interpret the color of stain on tape, or to enter an area with hand-held apparatus whenever a sensor "senses something". The TGM double-checks itselfand even identifies the gas it's sensing before souding the alarm. An EHS program is more effective when a problem can be remedied and production resumed without unnecessary risk and delay.

Consider performance and costs. The TGM take two seconds to detect fractional TLV's of hybrides and a host of other toxic substances. This means the 20 points TGM compares favorably to five 4-points paper tape units or twenty individual electrochemical sensors. Return-on-investments is maximized because the TGM can be purchased and keep in operation for ten years for a fraction of the cost.

Unique among monitors, the TGM needs no replacement tapes or sensor, Instead, it use plant utilities (electricity and hydrogen). It needs only 8 hours of maintenance per year (at the monitor itself, not at remote locations). It accommodates new tools and processes, and integrates easily with other monitors and facility management systems. With its product line companions the ACM (Air Composition Monitor) and the H2M (Hydrogen Monitor), it uses field-proven sensing technology, hardware, software and system concepts wich have become industy standards.
