Indoor Agriculture
Controlled environment agriculture deliberately manipulates atmospheric conditions to optimize plant growth. CO2 enrichment to 1,500+ ppm is common practice but creates asphyxiation risks for workers. Some facilities use hydrocarbon extraction. Supplemental lighting and HVAC systems add mechanical room hazards. CET provides detection solutions that enable safe working conditions without compromising growing operations.
Why Gas Detection Matters
CO2 enrichment creates a unique hazard profile where dangerous gas levels are intentionally maintained in growing areas. Workers entering these spaces need real-time monitoring and alarm systems. Extraction operations using butane or propane require explosion-proof detection. Vertical farms in urban buildings must consider neighboring occupants. State cannabis regulations increasingly mandate specific safety systems.
Common Hazards:
Applications
Explore indoor agriculture applications
Greenhouses
Gas detection and monitoring of Carbon monoxide and combustible gases in greenhouse production facilities ensures the safety of employees and visitors.
Grow Rooms
Continuous monitoring of ethylene, CO₂ and combustible gases for plant health optimization and indoor cannabis and vertical farming operations.
CO₂ Enrichment
Safety monitoring for controlled atmosphere agriculture where CO₂ levels are artificially elevated
Regulations & Standards
OSHA occupational exposure limits, ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation, state cannabis facility safety codes, NFPA 1 extraction safety requirements, local fire marshal requirements.
In addition to these national codes, many states, provinces, and municipalities adopt their own amendments or standalone requirements.
