Turning Safety Into Strategy: BCL to Present AMETEK’s Jerome® 631-X at ArabLab 2025

Hydrogen sulfide is not only a workplace hazard but also an economic risk. Across the Gulf, toxic gas exposure is a significant factor in industrial safety incidents and contributes to costly downtime. For sectors like oil and gas, wastewater, and heavy industry, one undetected leak can lead to expensive shutdowns and compliance failures.

At ArabLab 2025, BCL will present AMETEK’s Jerome® 631-X Gold Film Hydrogen Sulfide Analyzer at Stall H2-C70, Dubai World Trade Centre, from 23 to 25 September. This portable H₂S analyzer sets new standards for accuracy, ruggedness, and regulatory compliance.

Why Gas Detection Matters in the GCC

The Gulf’s industrial base is expanding rapidly, with many new energy projects involving sour gas reserves and numerous wastewater plants facing challenges from elevated H₂S levels. With regulators tightening air quality standards and multinational companies demanding proof of compliance, accurate monitoring has become an essential strategic requirement.

Failure to meet detection standards often results in increased unplanned downtime in critical facilities, regulatory penalties, and loss of contracts in export-driven sectors where safety audits are mandatory.

The Jerome® 631-X addresses these challenges with precision and reliability, exceeding the capabilities of standard combustion gas analyzers.

Built for industries where safety and uptime are paramount, the Jerome® 631-X has demonstrated value over more than 30 years of field use.

Technical Highlights

• Low-Level Detection: Detects H₂S at levels ranging from 0.003 ppm to 50 ppm, supporting odor control, scrubber efficiency, and corrosion monitoring.
• Gold Film Sensor: Proven worldwide for millions of tests in both laboratory and field conditions.
• Survey Mode: Provides readings every 3 seconds for effective hotspot mapping.
• Data Logging: Stores up to 1,000 results to support audits, inspections, and compliance documentation.
• Rugged Portability: Lightweight, IP-rated metal housing ensures durability in extreme conditions.
• Simple Operation: One-button testing with clear LCD readouts, even in low light environments.

Real-World Applications

The Jerome® 631-X is invaluable across multiple sectors:

• Oil and Gas: Extensive sour gas reserves in GCC oil and gas fields make active H₂S monitoring essential for worker safety.
• Wastewater Treatment: Many treatment plants contend with H₂S buildup, which poses risks to personnel and equipment.
• Industrial Facilities: Ensures protection in confined spaces and reduces costly safety shutdowns.
• Environmental Monitoring: Supports compliance with international air quality standards.
• Pulp and Paper / Farming: Helps mitigate corrosion and odor issues in production and storage facilities.
