Mobile Natural Gas Concentration Intelligence Device Study for the Arctic

At present, the attention of many countries is directed to the Arctic. Many politicians argue about the boundaries in the circumpolar region. The problem is that the Arctic is very rich in hydrocarbons. Since there is practically no land in this region, it is necessary to produce hydrocarbons on the Arctic Ocean's sea shelf. For this, offshore platforms are used. It is complicated for a person to work on an offshore platform since the Arctic has shallow temperatures with extreme winds. At the same time, natural gas may appear inside the platform. Natural gas at specific concentrations mixed with oxygen can be explosive, increasing the risk of a person being on the platform. Therefore, to monitor the concentration of natural gas on the platform, special sensors register the gas level and give a control signal of danger. These sensors are not installed at all points. For those places where sensors are not installed, we have developed a particular mobile device that can determine the natural gas concentration and transmit it to the control device.
