OnGuard Industrial Case Studies

	Mobil Oil Refinery in Paulsboro, New Jersey Damage caused by corrosive gases forced Mobil Oil refinery to replace 40 printed circuit boards.
	Paraiso Hydroelectric Power Plant in Bogata, Columbia Corrosive gases at the Paraiso Hydroelectric Plant are so harsh that the employees working near the settling ponds are required to wear gas masks.
	Champion International Pulp & Paper Mill in Canton, North Carolina The OnGuard monitor is so sensitive, it alerted engineers at Champion International when the door to the fiber line operator control room was left open.
	Mead Pulp & Paper Mill in Phenix City, Alabama Mead’s E&I Technician can monitor the air quality in various control rooms without ever having to leave her desk!
