But both converting waste water into a state suitable for discharge and transforming extracted supplies into clean water for civil use involve the employment and production of different toxic and flammable gases. As usual in these situations, reliable gas detection is the way of protecting personnel, facilities and the environment. Although gas risk may vary depending on the application, location and treatment process, some of these are common to most plants. In wastewater facilities the most common hazards involve methane, hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, carbon dioxide and oxygen depletion. These hazards originate from sources such as sewers, aeration tanks, sludge digester tanks and deodorizing plants. The aerating and sludge digestion processes are normally the most critical, with the production of biogases from sludge, including methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. Biogas is extremely flammable and is in fact nowadays collected and treated for energy production. But any leak from a digestor could lead to an explosion. Aerating processes are also used to remove Ammonia. Wastewater is then usually treated with chlorine before leaving the plant to be discharged. In drinking water facilities gas hazards involve chlorine, sulphur dioxide, ammonia, ozone and chlorine dioxide. Usually, extracted supplies come in risk-free and it is only at the treatment/disinfection stage that chemicals are used, with the subsequent dangers. Chlorine is the most commonly used disinfectant, being also a legal requirement in many countries. But new technologies involving ozone or chlorine dioxide are becoming increasingly popular.
