Blackline adds cutting-edge MPS™ Flammable Gas Sensor technology
to its lineup of cloud-connected G7 wearables
Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX.V: BLN), a global leader of gas
detection and connected safety solutions, has partnered with
NevadaNano, a developer and manufacturer of microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS)-based gas sensors, to add the new Molecular Property
Spectrometer™ (MPS™) Flammable Gas Sensor to its G7 lineup of
connected safety wearables. Together, Blackline and NevadaNano are
driving combustible gas detection into the future with the MPS
sensor, which can be easily incorporated into safety programs,
delivering greater accuracy of combustible gas readings and
confidence that workers are protected in any environment.

The MPS sensor transforms the way businesses monitor
environments for unsafe levels of combustible gas through the
latest advancements in MEMS technology — the most significant
innovation in more than 40 years. Compared to traditional catalytic
bead and non-dispersive infrared sensors, the MPS sensor provides
users with unparalleled lower explosive limit (LEL) measurement
accuracy for a TrueLEL™ combustible gas reading in any environment.
It is poison immune, meaning users can remove guess work from gas
detection and are confident that workers are protected. The MPS
sensor seamlessly integrates into companies’ current safety
program, eliminating the need to re-train users currently familiar
with traditional LEL gas sensors.
“For decades, businesses have
calibrated LEL sensors to accurately measure one gas with the
byproduct that they respond higher or lower when exposed to other
gases, causing gaps in safety,” said Sean Stinson, VP Sales and
Product Management for Blackline Safety. “Equipped with the MPS
Flammable Gas Sensor, G7 wearables read several different gas types
accurately — even gas mixtures. This wasn’t possible until today.
Featuring native immunity to poisoning by silicones, G7 and the MPS
sensor confidently deliver accurate detection in the field while
streaming data to the Blackline Safety Cloud for the
location-enabled data analytics. The result is a new level of
safety for workers and facility protection.”
Where traditional LEL sensors fall short, the MPS Flammable Gas
Sensor detects gas mixtures as accurately as it does a single gas,
eliminating false alarms with built-in environmental compensation,
poison immunity, fail-safe design, and a real-time conversion
factor. Now a member of Blackline’s G7 gas sensor portfolio, the
MPS sensor delivers the industry’s most linear response for the LEL
of individual and mixed gas compositions for the 12 most common
combustible gases, including hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane,
ethylene, xylene and more. Across this wide range of gases, the MPS
sensor maintains accuracy for over five years and incorporates
internal diagnostics to automatically detect issues with the sensor
itself.
In addition to unparalleled accuracy across individual gases and
mixtures, the MPS sensor incorporates cutting-edge technology that
places all detected gases into one of six classifications. Like all
data generated by G7 wearables, this data is location-enabled and
streamed to the Blackline Safety Cloud, enabling interactive
visualization in Blackline Analytics software. This new gas
classification capability unlocks insights that enable businesses
to identify abnormalities and trigger proactive maintenance to help
prevent a safety incident. Blackline customers can further leverage
these insights through Blackline Vision, the company’s data science
division to assist businesses with getting the most from their
digital transformation.
“Blackline Safety has a track record of innovation, providing
state-of-the-art solutions that are not merely ‘new’, but are
better and, ultimately, safer,” said Bob Christensen, Senior
Director Business Development for NevadaNano. “We’re providing the
first sensor in decades to truly deliver on the promise of ‘next
generation’, and partnering with Blackline was an easy choice to
bring this proven technology to the men and women on the front line
and make sure they get home safe.”
Founded in 2004, NevadaNano has spent more than a decade
studying and perfecting MEMS-based sensor modules for a wide range
of commercial and government applications. Globally certified and
intrinsically safe, the MPS combustible gas sensor enables workers
to enter hazardous environments with the highest degree of accuracy
and the utmost confidence.
