• Ventilation and Air Circulation: Bodursan uses specialized ventilation equipment to ensure that gas concentrations are reduced to safe levels and that air circulation within the tanks is optimal. This ensures a safe working environment for personnel working in confined spaces.
• Gas Detection and Monitoring: We use gas detection equipment to monitor for hazardous gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), flammable vapors, and other toxic gases during the cleaning and gas freeing process.
