An ethylene oxide detector is a fixed gas monitoring device used to detect and measure ethylene oxide gas in the air. Ethylene oxide is toxic, flammable, and highly reactive, making continuous monitoring essential wherever it is produced, stored, or used. The ethylene oxide sensor measures gas concentration and transmits the signal via an ethylene oxide transmitter to alarms or control systems.
This helps facilities comply with occupational exposure limits defined in ethylene oxide MSDS documentation and prevents incidents related to uncontrolled ethylene oxide reactions. Such detection is critical in pharmaceutical sterilization, biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing environments.
Ethylene is produced mainly through steam cracking of hydrocarbons such as ethane or naphtha. These materials are heated at very high temperatures, breaking molecular bonds and forming ethylene gas, which is then used to manufacture ethylene oxide and other chemical products.
Ethylene glycol is used as an antifreeze because it lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of water. This allows cooling systems to operate safely in both extreme heat and cold, preventing freezing, overheating, and corrosion.
Ethylene oxide is widely used for medical device sterilization, production of ethylene glycol, and manufacturing of surfactants and specialty chemicals. Due to its hazardous nature, continuous monitoring with an ethylene gas sensor is essential in facilities handling EtO.
Why It Is Essential in the UAE & GCC
The UAE and GCC are rapidly expanding their pharmaceutical, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Ethylene oxide sterilization is common in these industries, while high ambient temperatures can increase gas release risks. The Evikon E2638-ETO Ethylene Oxide Detector supports world-class HSE standards and helps protect people, processes, and critical infrastructure aligned with the region’s economic diversification goals.
Calibration Frequency
Ethylene oxide gas detectors should generally be calibrated every 6 to 12 months, depending on exposure levels, site conditions, and regulatory requirements. Regular calibration ensures the ethylene oxide detector maintains accuracy and reliable performance.
