BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY At 11.00 PM on December 2 1984‚ while most of the one million residents of Bhopal slept‚ an operator at the plant noticed a small leak of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and increasing pressure inside a storage tank. The vent-gas scrubber‚ a safety device designer to neutralize toxic discharge from the MIC system‚ had been turned off three weeks prior . Apparently a faulty valve had allowed one ton of water for cleaning internal pipes to mix with forty tons of MIC. A 30 ton refrigeration

greenhouse gas effect The greenhouse gas effect is the accumulation of natural and man-made gas in the atmosphere which does not block sunlight but trap heat to keep the temperature on Earth suitable for life. Imagine a greenhouse that is made of glass that supports plants growth. Visible sunlight can go through the glass but the heat in which it contains can’t go back through the glass‚ thus a greenhouse keeps plants warm allowing them to live and grow happily. The same process with gas replacing

Gas leak detection is the process of identifying potentially hazardous gas leaks by means of various sensors. These sensors usually employ an audible alarm to alert people when a dangerous gas has been detected. Common sensors used today include Infrared Point Sensor‚ Ultrasonic gas detectors‚ electrochemical gas detectors‚ and Semiconductor Sensors. More recently‚ infrared imaging sensors have come into use. All of these sensors are used for a wide range of applications‚ and can be found in industrial
