Abstract
The motive force behind this advanced concept in implementing “Wireless Technology Using Solar Powered” instruments is to get hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and lower explosive level (LEL) signals from an unreachable location where hazardous waste is being handled to a safe centralized control room. Implementing this would reduce the cable cost and the maintenance. This solar power is eco-friendly. With wireless communication, allowing more sophisticated data to be transmitted to the centralized control room; appropriate steps have been taken to install wireless devices in remote location. Such technology plays a progressively essential role in up-to-date industries. The wireless solar powered sensors provide a cost-effective alternative and are being used increasingly for equipment and other applications in a diversity of industrial processes. In addition, its improved remote diagnostics makes plants and operations safer. In this paper, we will cover the benefits and challenges we experienced at the Haradh gas plant while implementing wireless technology to prevent massive threats and destruction to persons, property and equipment.
