This partnership will enable the local production of high-precision sensors for detecting toxic and combustible gases, helping to protect workers and assets at oil and gas production/drilling facilities, LNG/CNG plants, and refining and petrochemical sites. A grand opening ceremony on (insert date) will officially declare the plant open on 19th June 2025. Increasing economic diversification Gas detection is an essential safety aspect throughout the oil and gas industry. With so much activity in the Middle East, Teledyne GFD wanted to bring the production of key gas detection solutions closer to their point of use. This strategy also aligns with the IKTVA (In-Kingdom Total Value Add) program that promotes local manufacturing in KSA. Gas detection is an essential safety aspect throughout the oil and gas industry IKTVA is an initiative to increase economic diversification and create a sustainable ecosystem in KSA’s oil and gas industry. The program aims to increase the use of in-Kingdom suppliers, expand local supply chain capabilities and capacities, and drive industry collaboration through supplier development. Efficient supply chains By partnering with Industrial Detection Solutions, Teledyne GFD will help to meet the ambitions of the IKTVA via the local manufacture of popular products like its DM-700 toxic gas sensor, and FP-700 and IR-700 combustible gas sensors. “Our new partnership with Industrial Detection Solutions ensures that manufacturing is closer to both customers and suppliers, enabling even faster delivery of class-leading gas detection products in support of more efficient supply chains,” says Thomas Moeller, VP Sales & Marketing at Teledyne GFD. “The proven solutions manufactured in KSA will better serve a vast regional industry that recognizes the importance of a robust and prevalent safety culture. We are proud to be part of KSA’s remarkable ongoing journey of economic and industrial growth, and we look forward to a successful future together.” Catalytic bead sensor technology The IR-700 is a similar solution for combustible hydrocarbon gases The DM-700 is a non-intrusive ‘smart’ sensor that detects and monitors oxygen and toxic gases in the air using electrochemical sensor technology. The intelligent, plug-in, field-replaceable cell automatically recognizes gas type and range.  Teledyne GFD’s FP-700 is also a non-intrusive ‘smart’ sensor, this time for the detection and monitoring of combustible gases over the range of 0-100% LEL using catalytic bead sensor technology. The IR-700 is a similar solution for combustible hydrocarbon gases. It uses miniature non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical sensor technology to detect and monitor gases over the range of 0-100% LEL. All of these gas detectors support maximum safety with an innovative design that virtually eliminates sensor failure due to water ingress, corrosion, vibration or transient spikes.

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection has released its Spyglass™ Xtend triple-infrared flame detector, a notable industry advance that offers the simultaneous detection of both hydrogen (H2) and hydrocarbon (HC) fires. This important innovation boosts safety in dense industrial environments where hydrogen flames can spread to other equipment and start fires involving hydrocarbon fuels that are invisible to an H2-only detector. Fire involving hydrocarbon fuels A hydrogen flame can spread and trigger a fire involving hydrocarbon fuels The combined detection of both hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames arrives courtesy of Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection’s triple-infrared technology. Where industrial spaces are highly populated with machines, equipment, tools, stored goods and many other common workplace items, a hydrogen flame can spread and trigger a fire involving hydrocarbon fuels. It is here that Spyglass™ Xtend is able to provide a crucial safety net. Integral triple-infrared technology Take the example of detecting hydrogen flames using an H2-only detector and prompting a subsequent safety action to interrupt the hydrogen supply and extinguish the flame. It would be easy to think the emergency is over, but any already burning hydrocarbon fires will persist. An H2 detector cannot detect HC flames. With its integral triple-infrared technology - paired with a unique algorithm - the new Spyglass™ Xtend flame detector supports an enhanced safety strategy by detecting both hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames simultaneously. Five selectable sensitivity levels are available. Flame detection performance of the Spyglass™ Xtend New Spyglass™ Xtend flame detector supports an enhanced safety strategy by detecting both hydrogen “Users of our Spyglass™ Xtend can take advantage of a considerably longer detection range, while response times are much faster compared with existing UV/IR technology,” explains Régis PRÉVOST, Product Line Manager at Teledyne GFD. “The result? Earlier detection of hydrogen and/or hydrocarbon flames, protecting workers, and minimizing damage to your premises and assets. It’s also worth pointing out that the hydrogen flame detection performance of the Spyglass™ Xtend matches that of our existing Spyglass™ IR3-H2, which is dedicated solely to hydrogen.” IP66/68 and NEMA 4X/6 ingress protection ratings The new triple-infrared technology ensures perfect immunity against false alarms or untimely faults due to sun glare or heavy rain, guaranteeing reliable operation in outdoor environments. Further supporting outside use, heated-optics prevent condensation and frosting, while users can ensure nominal detector performance by undertaking automatic or manual self-tests that check the optics are clean. The stainless steel enclosure carries IP66/68 and NEMA 4X/6 ingress protection ratings.
