Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Monitoring – For Stack , Ambient & Indoor
Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is a colorless gas, with a pungent smell at 0.04ppm. Inhalation of this gas can cause eyes, nose and throat irritation. Exposure to high levels may cause muscle spasms and can damage the lungs and heart and in extreme cases can result in death. It is important in many industries for fast detection of hydrogen fluoride to avoid the gas reaching dangerous toxic levels. Periodic monitoring of Hydrogen Fluoride is the best solution to ensure the personal safety of workers in different environment.
Description
Hydrogen Fluoride HF Monitoring
Hydrogen Fluoride HF Monitoring services:
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) also known as hydrofluoric acid can be found in its gaseous form or liquid state at ambient temperature. HF gas is combination of Hydrogen Atom & Fluorine Atom. Hydrogen Fluoride is used in various industry such as Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, and the production of hydrocarbons, aluminums, Fluorine, Uranium hexafluoride, Metal treatments, various chemical , industrial processes, or natural phenomena are sources of HF gas emission , including alumina baths , welding , and volcanoes Etc.
Apzem’s Air Quality monitoring is done by industrial experts with years of rich expertise in the domain of air quality monitoring & dust, fume control. HF Gas Level monitoring is primarily done to detect and measure the level of HF present in the ambient and indoor environment, thus ensuring the safety of the people present inside and near the hazardous zone.
