IGD are often asked by prospective clients if it’s necessary to have a gas detection system and if so how does it fit into their risk mitigation scheme.
With excellent electronic properties, 2D materials can be highly conductive or have tuneable semiconductor bandgaps.

The inhalation of dust can often trigger a bodily response, commonly in the form of a sneeze. This is a key way that the lungs protect themselves from airborne particles.
High purity, otherwise known as ultrapure, water has been created to stringent specifications to remove contaminants that can adversely impact affect people, products or equipment.
Above ground bulk storage tanks are vessels which can hold large volumes of liquid and commonly range from 10 to 32 feet in height. They operate under zero pressure, are available in various shapes, and are widely composed of plastic, fiberglass or metal.
2D materials are used as the response material within gas sensor devices because of their specific properties.

Temperature sensors like thermocouples, thermistors, and bimetal thermometers can be sensitive to damage due to pressure, material velocity, corrosion, and the like; Thermowells are used to guard them and hence increase the longevity of the sensor.
Thermistors are temperature-sensing elements that exhibit large changes in resistance proportional to small changes in temperatures; they’re typically composed of sintered semiconductors, and usually, the resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases (negative temperature coefficient.)
