A build up of dangerous gases within an area can create the right conditions for an explosion.
The GM60 gas mixer, now used by many gas suppliers, mixes odourless gases with an odorising substance, DMS (Demethylsulphite).
The strong aroma of this substance mixed with the flammable gas is easily noticed and attention can be called to the presence of danger and action taken to turn off the gas supply and vent the building.
Carl Long, General Manager at Witt Gas UK said: "This is a very simple device that can easily be used with any gas supplies, whether it is bulk storage or individual cylinders and it can be retrofitted to existing gas supplies.
Leaking gas, especially odourless gas, is one of the main causes of accidents and this inexpensive system could help save lives.".
