<p>For facilities working with hydrides or toxic gases, a company like <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">DOD</span></strong> is a strong partner to consider, particularly for
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">TGMS (Toxic Gas Monitoring Systems)</span></strong>. Our facility has previously sourced TGMS systems through DOD.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If you're monitoring hydrides specifically, a <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Chemlogic (CL)</span></strong> gas detector is typically the best option. For example,
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">HMNTL</span></strong> uses the
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">CL-96</span></strong> model from DOD. This unit supports detection at up to
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">96 individual points</span></strong>; in our case, only
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">26 of the 32 configured points</span></strong> are in active use, each assigned to a different hydride gas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>While <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">electrochromic sensors</span></strong> such as those from
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Honeywell</span></strong> or
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Cosmos PS-7</span></strong> can be suitable for other gas detection needs, note that
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">frequent cartridge changes</span></strong> (dependent on the specific chemical) can make these options
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">cost-prohibitive over time</span></strong>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In our <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">H5-rated</span></strong> facility, we use both Chemlogic and electrochromic systems to balance detection breadth and cost-efficiency.<o:p></o:p></p>
