How to ensure gas safety at gas stations The role of gas detectors
Fuel Vapors: As fuel is stored and delivered at gas stations, fuel vapors may leak and accumulate in the air, forming a flammable and explosive mixture.
Methane gas: There may be methane leaks from underground oil storage pipelines around gas stations. Methane is a flammable gas that presents a fire and explosion hazard.
Nitrogen and oxygen: Gas stations use nitrogen and oxygen to fill tires or perform other maintenance work, and these gases can be harmful in high concentrations.
Gas in tanks: There may be gas accumulations in tanks at gas stations, such as toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide.
In order to ensure gas safety, what safety protection measures do gas stations need to take?
Regular inspection and maintenance of equipment: Gas stations regularly inspect and maintain fuel storage tanks, delivery pipelines, pumping stations, and other equipment to ensure that they are functioning properly and promptly repair any problems that may cause gas leakage.
Establish a proper ventilation system: Gas stations will have a proper ventilation system to maintain the circulation of indoor air and reduce the accumulation of fuel vapor and other harmful gases.
Training employees: The gas station will provide training to employees so that they understand and master safe operating procedures and emergency response methods, including how to properly operate equipment, deal with leaks and fires, etc.
Use safety equipment: gas stations will be equipped with appropriate safety equipment, such as toxic and harmful gas detectors, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, etc., so as to detect and respond to gas safety problems in a timely manner.
Comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards: Gas stations will strictly abide by relevant laws, regulations and standards, such as construction and operation procedures for oil storage tanks, requirements for explosion-proof equipment, etc., to ensure gas safety.
Regular detection and monitoring: gas stations will conduct regular gas detection and monitoring to ensure that the gas concentration in the indoor and surrounding environment is within a safe range.

Program composition
Combustible gas detectors, gas alarm controllers, power boxes, smart gas monitoring platform systems, etc.
Program function
Chicheng Electric QB1000 combustible gas alarm controller is used together with GT-QB200N combustible gas detector to form a combustible gas alarm device.
The detector converts the leakage concentration of combustible gas in the environment into a digital signal and sends it to the controller, and the controller displays the measured gas concentration after receiving it. When the concentration of combustible gas reaches or exceeds the preset value, the controller will send out an audible and visual alarm signal, and control the action of driving exhaust or other peripheral equipment.
In addition, the alarm signal can be uploaded to the smart cloud platform and pushed to the mobile phone of the staff through mobile phones, SMS, and APP, so that the refueling operation area and the duty room can receive alarm notifications at the same time, helping the staff to centralize and efficiently manage multiple detectors , very suitable for gas station use.
