The cleaning and treatment of fresh water and sewage is associated with hazards just as much as the maintenance of the sewage system itself: The presence of toxic or flammable gases and oxygen deficiencies are potentially risky. If you know the risks, you can control them and provide employees with reliable protection.

THE CHALLENGE

The water industry bears great responsibility. It has to deal with limited resources and contributes to the health of billions of people.  Despite all the technological progress, it is still people –employees of the water and sewage industry – who ensure that everything runs smoothly. This includes inspection patrols, cleaning and maintenance work, repairs and dismantling: despite careful risk analysis, there is always the potential of contact with hazardous substances, which can be dangerous or even fatal to health.  Employees who work supporting the ongoing cycle of water recovery, cleaning, supply or discharge pipes, as well as reprocessing and disposal of sewage sludge, must be given special protection to enable them to perform their jobs safely.

Clearance measurement was never this easy and convenient: The Draeger X-am 8000 measures up to seven toxic as well as flammable gases, vapors and oxygen all at once — either in pump or diffusion mode. Innovative signaling design and handy assistant functions ensure complete safety throughout the process.

The X-am 8000 is Draeger’s NEW 7 gas Multi-gas detector.  The X-am 8000 can be outfitted with multiple sensors for the detection of combustible and toxic gases and vapors and NOW also a PID.

If the risks cannot be permanently diminished via a ›safe system of work‹, a protection concept tailored to the specific activity is required. The concept will focus on the key aspects of gas detection, respiratory protection, personal protection and training.

There are specific risks to staff and facilities in each stage of the water recovery and treatment process, which in particular include toxic gases, flammable gases and low oxygen levels. Even today, working on water or sewage channels still requires manual visual inspection, fixing faults, maintenance and cleaning. A lack of ventilation combined with biological fermentation processes and chemical reactions encourage the accumulation of methane (CH₄) or even hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) at critical concentrations. CH₄ is extremely flammable and can react explosively. Even at very low concentrations, H₂S is extremely toxic to the human body. There is also a range of chemical and biological reactions which can reduce the level of oxygen in breathable air and increase the risk of asphyxiation if workers are inadequately protected. Furthermore, the chlorine used for water disinfection is derived from a highly noxious gas which, even in the smallest quantities, is harmful to the respiratory system.

The Draeger X-am 8000 is equipped with a very powerful pump. It can be connected with hoses of up to 45 meters in length. A pump adapter makes it easy to switch between diffusion and pump mode at any time.

This means the pump is only operated when you actually need it. That saves energy, reduces wear and tear, and thereby extends the lifespan of the pump.

THE SOLUTION

Recognizing, analyzing and assessing risks are important pre-conditions in order to develop solutions for work in confined spaces, handling hazardous substances, plant safety and emergencies. The plant-specific hazard assessment provides a detailed list of risk factors for certain activities and areas of the plant. To find the right solution for every one of these stages of water purification and waste water handling is challenging.

Gas measuring devices with fast responding sensors, personal protective equipment such as respiratory protection with adequate filters and protection classes as well as appropriate escape devices are needed. The right devices at the right time, at the right location can protect employees against upcoming hazards. The goal is to achieve a healthy balance between sufficient protection and minimal physical strain on workers to avoid the consequent restrictions on efficiency. It must also feature a portfolio, which can be utilized economically and dependably throughout its life cycle. If you are faced with the challenge of procuring the best material for you and your employees, you can trust Dräger.

Our portfolio has an answer to the most diverse requirements of your working practice.

Handy and durable, the Draeger X-am 8000 is intuitive to operate single handedly using three function keys.

The easy-to-read color display clearly lays out all the information for you.

Standard accessories include a sturdy shoulder strap, so you can comfortably carry the X-am 8000. Thanks to its compact and robust construction, the device can withstand even the harshest conditions.

The Draeger X-am 8000 is perfect for the measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), it uses photo ionization detection (PID) technology for this measurement.

The X-am 8000 effectively supports various applications with specially developed assistant functions that guide you through each process step by step. During clearance measurement, for example, the smart assistant calculates the necessary flooding time for the device and probe (FKM hose) based on parameters such as measuring gases, temperature limits, and the indicated hose length.

When monitoring for high methane concentrations, an optional automatic measurement range switch makes it easier to take a reading: if the Cat-Ex sensor measures values above 100% LEL, the display switches to the range of 0 to 100 vol %.

An additional useful tool is CSE Connect. It combines an Android app, specially designed for the X-am 8000, with a cloud-computing solution. Measuring jobs can be quickly and easily transferred to the app using an online application. An optional Bluetooth module in the Draeger X-am 8000 enables measured values to be transferred automatically to the CSE Connect app. You can also easily and conveniently use the app to create measurement reports. This saves time and helps you manage your measuring tasks during clearance measurements more efficiently.

Working in confined spaces

The water industry is faced with a range of different confined spaces in which to work: treatment units, tanks, service reservoirs, chemical handling and storage areas, pumping stations, wells, sumps, overflows, boreholes, sewers and manholes. The most frequently occurring hazards are methane, hydrogen sulfide and a lack of oxygen.

Working in confined spaces, such as tanks, sewers, manholes, water towers, and sumps can be part and parcel of working within the water industry. However, it should never be regarded as a simple routine task because it often involves accumulated gases or low oxygen levels. This is why working in confined spaces should only be performed with the right safety equipment to protect your employees against upcoming risks. Portable gas detection devices, respiratory protection and the use of emergency escape equipment ensure that your employees are able to do their work.

The state-of-the-art PID technology is both exceptionally sensitive and tough. The quick response time is great for leak inspection. It also permits the atmosphere above contaminated ground or liquids to be screened, as well as exhaust measurements from enclosed spaces.

The signal system of the Draeger X-am 8000 is based on a clear color code:

‒ Red light = gas alarm

‒ Yellow light = device-related alarm, e.g. low battery

‒ Green light = device is ready for use

The green glow of the D-light allows you to see from a distance whether the device has been properly tested and is ready for use.

In case of an alarm, the X-am 8000 alerts you with colorful alarm LEDs, a loud horn (100 dB(A) at a distance of 30 cm), and clearly palpable vibration. Optionally, four preset hazard symbols are available for the display which explicitly indicates the presence of explosive or toxic gas hazards, for example. This allows the user to easily recognize the type of hazard based purely on the symbol displayed.

The X-am 8000 is equipped with an impact detection system. The event report indicates whenever severe mechanical impacts have occurred that might result in functional impairments of the device or the sensors.

These are also documented in the data logger.

To measure hard-to-detect hydrocarbons, you can fit the Draeger X-am 8000 with one of two high-performance PID sensors. The PID HC covers a measurement range of 0 to 2,000 ppm (Isobutene). The PID LC ppb is particularly suited for a measurement range of 0 to 10 ppm (Isobutene) with a low resolution in the range below 1 ppm.

For benzene-specific measurements, the X-am 8000 can be used with a pre-tube. The advantage: you only need one measuring device for this application, which significantly reduces the costs of purchasing, maintaining and transporting devices in use. The use of the pre-tubes is supported by a built-in assistant.

The X-am 8000’s utilizes Inductive charging, also known as wireless charging or cordless charging. It uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between the instrument and the charger.

The X-am 8000 inductive charging feature makes it easier to operate and increases the lifespan of the device. Issues like corrosion and contact problems in the charging cradle are a thing of the past. You can charge (outside of explosion-hazard zones) and measure at once, e.g, when in use inside vehicles or on machinery.

The charging cradle can connect with one another, taking up minimal space, and are compatible with existing Draeger X-am series cradles.
