A leak of about 20 pounds of ammonia has been reported from a DuPont ammonia storage tank in Belle, USA. The leak was detected by a sensor which sounded an alarm. As per the article, "No one was injured in the incident.DuPont spokesman David Hastings said the incident occurred at about 2:30 a.m. and the all-clear was sounded shortly after 3:10 a.m".
It is good that the detector worked as intended. Many times, gas detectors are unreliable for detecting leaks. Some companies are now using computer modeling to determine the number of detectors and their required placement. How sure are you that your detectors will work as intended?
