Invisible Threat to
Plant Reliability
Corrosive gasses an account for up to 40%
of electronic equipment failure at industrial facilities.
Corrosive gases are generated by industrial processes & can infiltrate control rooms, electrical cabinets and MCCs
The Hidden Threat to Your Operations
Airborne contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), chlorine (Cl₂), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other corrosive gases can infiltrate control rooms, electrical enclosures, cleanrooms, and occupied spaces.
CORROSION
Corrosive gases can attack critical infrastructure and electronics, accelerating deterioration and shortening equipment life.
CONTAMINATION
Airborne contaminants can infiltrate control rooms, electrical cabinets, and other critical areas throughout your facility.
EQUIPMENT RISK
When contaminants go unchecked, the result can be equipment failure, unplanned downtime, higher maintenance costs, and lost productivity.
Hidden Damage
Airborne contaminants can quietly compromise critical equipment long before a failure occurs. In oil and gas facilities, corrosive and toxic gases can infiltrate sensitive areas, degrading electronics, controls, and instrumentation and creating costly risks to reliability, safety, and uptime.

Diagnose Before the Failure
| Class | G1 | G2 | G3 | GX |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Severity Level | Mild | Moderate | Harsh | Severe |
| Copper Reactivity | <300A | <1,000A | <2,000A | >2,000A |
| Silver Reactivity | <200A | <1,000A | <2,000A | >2,000A |
| Comments | Corrosion is not a factor in determining equipment reliability. | Corrosion effects are measurable and corrosion may be a factor. | High probability that corrosive attack will occur. | Only specialty design and packaged equipment will survive |
