The Role of Fixed Gas Detectors for Cannabis Extraction Booths
Cannabis grow operations can often be complex and require stringent protections to ensure conditions are correct for optimal growth while keeping personnel safe from overexposure. When operating within a cannabis extraction booth, gas detectors and monitors are essential. Read on to learn how Buckeye’s gas detectors are well-suited to keep conditions optimal and safe.
Accurate Detection
Cannabis extraction booths are often classified as a Class 1, Division 1 hazardous location due to solvents used in the process, such as ethanol, propane, and methane. These compounds are highly flammable, and therefore need continuous, fixed gas detectors to ensure levels are not unsafe for both personnel and the cannabis production.
The BDS-50 from Buckeye Detection Systems is CSA certified for Class 1, Division 1 installations, and accurately detects hazardous compounds such as propane, ethanol, and carbon dioxide, making it fully equipped to monitor cannabis extraction booths for optimal conditions.
Ethanol Extractions
A major reason that fixed gas detectors are necessary in cannabis extraction booths is due to the high risk that using ethanol poses. Ethanol is highly flammable, and while equipment in extraction booths are explosive proof, monitoring the levels of ethanol in the air is essential to preventing accidents. Fixed gas detectors like the BDS-50 allow for programming of audible and visual alarms that can also trigger shut off of operations if conditions become dangerous.
