Methane recovery monitoring for improved safety

Methane recovery monitoring for improved safety

Methane explosions still happen with shocking frequency, and often it’s because the methane detection used simply isn’t accurate enough.

It is essential to know the exact gas composition to avoid dangerous combinations of gases. It is also essential to know that your system is functioning properly, at all times, without leaks and blockages, and  that it has the durability, measurement accuracy and ability to function in hazardous areas - allowing you to keep your process fully operational, guaranteeing the safety of personnel, and the protection of expensive plant and machinery.

If your priority is methane clearance for safety purposes, then you need to work with a company that can guarantee results. Trolex have over 50 years experience in delivering environmental monitoring solutions in hazardous areas. The company pioneered the technology for coal mine methane drainage systems and has installed methane detection systems in over 500 mines and industrial locations around the globe. We are the world leaders in methane recovery monitoring technologies and our systems are the most advanced on the market today.

Scalable monitoring systems for complete flexibility

Methane recovery monitoring is fast becoming a profitable business with the new gas-to-energy movement and UN-sponsored CDM projects at the forefront of environmental and business concerns in the world today. Quantifying the precise concentrations of your recovered gases is vital, not only for safety purposes, but also for monetising your project and creating new revenue streams in the future. The SENTRUM methane recovery monitoring system gives you full flexibility to adapt, develop and adjust your system to meet new demands and to maximise revenues. Our systems meet UN requirements for accuracy and are proven by independent test authorities to deliver real-time results of the highest quality.


SENTRUM systems are fully scalable, allowing you to upgrade your system for purposes of revenue generation, or to monitor a range of other conditions, when necesessary - including vibration levels, pressure, flow, temperature, level and proximity - using the standard range of Trolex products.
Trolex offers a full customer support and advice service around the globe to ensure customer satisfaction and to guide purchasers through the development of their project. We bring 50 years of experience in delivering projects in the most safety-critical industries and hazardous environments known to man, and are capable of delivering results to even the most complex methane extraction and recovery situations.

Accuracy, reliability, safety - all in one system

The SENTRUM Methane recovery monitoring system has built-in system integrity routines that ensure your methane extraction system is functioning at optimum capacity. Its ability to calculate precise methane concentrations is a vital element in ensuring dangerous combinations and concentrations of gases are not allowed to build up and threaten personnel and plant. The Trolex system is intrinsically safe. It can operate within the most dangerous and hazardous working conditions and can deliver accurate real-time information to control centres on-site, or via web and satellite links to remote locations.
