How to detect chlorine leaks in chemical plants ?

- Nov 06, 2025-

Chlorine gas (chlorine) is a elemental form of the element chlorine, chemical formula Cl2. At normal temperature and pressure, it is yellow-green, highly toxic gas with strong pungent odor, asphyxiating, and denser than air. Melting point -101.00℃, boiling point -34℃. Soluble in water and alkali solutions, easily soluble in organic solvents (such as carbon tetrachloride), insoluble in saturated salt water, easy to compress, can be liquefied into yellow-green oily liquid chlorine.

 

When hydrogen with a mixed volume fraction of more than 5% in chlorine gas meets strong light, there may be a risk of explosion. Chlorine gas is toxic, mainly through the respiratory tract into the human body and dissolved in the mucous membrane contained in the water, will cause damage to the upper respiratory mucosa. Chlorine gas is one of the main products of chlor-alkali industry, which can be substituted and added with organic and inorganic substances to produce a variety of chlorides, and can also be used as a strong oxidizing agent. It is mainly used in the production of plastics (such as PVC), synthetic fibers, dyes, pesticides, disinfectants, bleach and various chlorides.

 

It is not difficult to see from the above that chlorine is a highly toxic gas, and the use of chlorine in some chemical industries is also more extensive, so how should we monitor whether there is leakage of chlorine in some high-density chlorine gas use environments? What is the way to reliably and safely monitor the real-time concentration of chlorine gas?

The online chlorine gas detector is a device that supports real-time monitoring of chlorine gas fixed in the environment. The corresponding range is set for chlorine gas concentration. When environmental chlorine gas exceeds the specified concentration limit, the detector will issue an alarm to inform environmental personnel in real time and make protection. It is suitable for real-time monitoring in the environment where chlorine gas leakage exists in the workshop or factory building.

 

The portable handheld chlorine gas detector carries out real-time pumping monitoring through the built-in air pump, extracts the gas in the environment into the built-in sensor of the detector for real-time monitoring, and displays the gas monitoring data in real time on the detector screen. Portable chlorine concentration detector, relative to the fixed detector, the monitoring is more convenient, can be carried out by handheld environmental gas monitoring at various points, through the screen real-time display monitoring results, when the concentration exceeds the standard, the screen real-time audible and visual alarm prompts.
