Gas is a very safety-critical and financially significant utility in commercial and industrial environments. Many facilities only rely on manual meter checks and periodic service inspections, resulting in long periods where leaks and unsafe concentrations can go undetected. This creates serious operational, financial, health, and safety risks.
One of the most significant dangers is undetected gas leaks. Even slow, lower-volume leaks can accumulate to hazardous levels, creating heightened risks of fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning. Unmonitored gas systems can also lead to unsafe concentration build-ups. Exposure to high concentrations of gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide can cause severe health consequences including headaches, dizziness, respiratory issues, and even, in extreme cases, long-term neurological damage. Oftentimes, gas infrastructure lies behind walls, in ceiling cavities, and in underground networks, making leaks hard to identify until smells become noticeable or a critical incident occurs. Unfortunately, by this point, the situation is already very dangerous.
Furthermore, on a financial level, untracked gas consumption results in waste and escalating operational costs. A small gas leak can lead to thousands of dollars in lost fuel each year. High-usage assets like boilers, heaters, and industrial equipment may become less efficient without anyone noticing, causing heightened levels of consumption that go undetected until the next bill arrives. Additionally, untracked combustion-related gases can go against compliance with safety regulations.

Blue IoT’s gas services are designed to eliminate the safety, operational, and financial risks that arise when gas systems go unmonitored. We begin with pulse gas metering, providing detailed, real-time insights into how gas is being consumed across a facility. This creates an immediate baseline for detecting abnormal usage and identifying inefficiencies in equipment.
To address the broader safety risks, we offer solutions for monitoring a wide range of gases including natural gas, liquified petroleum gas, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, among other hazardous gases. Our intelligent gas sensors can detect leaks and unsafe concentration levels, enabling users to respond to the unsafe conditions before they become disastrous. These sensors are strategically placed throughout plant rooms, mechanical spaces, kitchens, basements, and other high-risk zones where gas accumulation is more likely and more harmful.
All sensors and meters stream data directly to Encompass Blue. Here, the data is visualised, analysed, securely stored, and supported by machine learning, alert logic, and automated rules. Users can trigger notifications and enable automated responses to dangerous thresholds. Encompass Blue transforms raw gas readings into actionable intelligence, giving users control and clarity across their entire network.
By introducing continuous monitoring and real-time detection across all gas related systems, organizations gain a proactive, safety-first approach to their gas management. Early leak detection prevents dangerous gas accumulation, significantly reducing the risks of adverse effects. This helps protect occupants, assets, and infrastructure before conditions escalate into emergencies.
Real-time concentration monitoring of carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide adds an additional layer of safety. Users receive instant alerts when levels rise above safe thresholds, ensuring rapid intervention and bolstering compliance with occupational safety standards. This reduces health risks for building occupants while strengthening organizations’ commitments to health and safety.
From an operational standpoint, detailed consumption tracking allows organizations to optimize performance, reduce waste, and avoid the high costs associated with gas leaks and inefficient equipment. Over time, this can lead to lower, and more predictable running costs.
Within the Encompass Blue Platform, users benefit from live dashboards, historical trend analysis, automated alerts, and accurate reporting for safety and compliance reasons. This unified visibility enhances informed decision-making, reduces risk, and provides an avenue to safer and more efficient gas management. Ultimately, Blue IoT’s gas services transform gas management from reactive and dangerous to proactive, data driven, and centered around safety, ensuring facilities and individuals remain protected.
