A Beginner’s Guide to Gas Detection for Cannabis Operations

Gas detection for cannabis operations doesn’t have to be complicated and confusing. With the experts at Buckeye Detection Systems by your side, your operation will have an efficient and compliant gas detection system. In cannabis growth operations, a proper and accurate gas detection system is essential to ensure that everything is compliant with state and federal regulations, in addition to keeping those within the facility safe. An essential first step of this process is determining what equipment your operation needs and what hazardous gases are present. 

Hazardous Gases in Cannabis Growth Operations

There are a few major gases within a cannabis facility that can be dangerous if left unchecked, including carbon dioxide, which is the primary concern for gas detection, volatile organic compounds, and combustible gases such as butane and propane. These gases are found in different parts of the growth process, so it’s important to ensure that your facility is equipped with detectors that will monitor these gases. 

Fixed Gas Detectors

The core of many gas detection systems, a fixed gas detector is a stable, reliable piece of equipment for continuous monitoring of hazardous gases. The BDS-50 from Buckeye is a reliable, durable fixed gas detector that is utilized in many cannabis operations and accurately detects hazardous gases such as carbon dioxide and combustible gases. 

Gas Detection Controllers

A controller is the central component of a complex gas detection system that has multiple detectors or sensors. A controller is efficient within cannabis operations because, depending on the size of the facility, multiple sensors and detectors may be efficient to ensure that the entire area is being monitored continuously. A controller such as the BFC-16 or BFC-64 from Buckeye covers a wide range of system sizes, allowing for input of sixteen and sixty-four channels.
