An electric arc furnace (EAF) is a furnace that heats charged material by means of an electric arc. Industrial arc furnaces range in size from small units of approximately one ton capacity (used in foundries for producing cast iron products) up to about 400 ton units used for secondary steelmaking. Electric Arc Furnace means an extremely hot enclosed space, where heat is produced by means of electrical arcing for melting certain metals such as scrap steel without changing electro-chemical properties of the metal. Electric arc is produced between the electrodes. This electric arc is used for melting the metal. The arc furnaces are used to produce mini steel structural bars and steel rods. The electric furnace is in form of a vertical vessel of fire brick. There are mainly two types of electric furnaces. They are alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) operated electric furnaces.

Oil refineries, processing plants, pipelines, storage farms, LPG/LNG plants, and offshore platforms all utilize or produce a wide range of hazardous combustible and toxic gases. In addition, the processes involved in each can produce nontoxic gases, which when accumulated in high concentrations, depletes oxygen causing a hazardous condition to personnel who occupy the area without proper protection. Moreover, there are several hazardous gases that are the product of mining and mineral processing. These products, which include gases, such as methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), and hydrogen cyanide (H2CN), require continuous monitoring in order to protect the well-being of mining equipment and personnel. The US, in 2016, had faced a gas leak which was nearly four-month leak in the North of Porter Ranch, which spewed nearly 100,000 metric tons of methane from a ruptured well at the 3,600-acre Aliso Canyon storage facility run by the Southern California Natural Gas Co. The US government has then signed a law that aimed to prevent a natural gas leak, like one that caused thousands of sickened residents to flee their homes around Porter Ranch. Thus, the incidences of gas leaks leading to explosions has emphasised on the need to adopt gas sensors and detectors across work intensive industries, such as Manufacturing, Mining, Oil & Gas.
