ASE Power Station, Merida, Mexico
The SafEye Model 301 Duct Mount Open Path design was selected because the entire path length between the flash source and detector operates as the detection surface, giving it a high probability to detect small hydrocarbon leaks quickly. After successful test of low volume gas releases in the turbine enclosure, four Model 301's were installed in October of 2002.
From there, the new pipeline will connect to Forest's West McArthur River unit facility on the West Foreland where it will go into an existing line which runs to the Trading Bay production facility. The oil will go into the Cook Inlet Pipe Line system to Drift River. Three pipelines will be laid: for oil, for gas and a return line for produced water. The produced water, separated at the onshore Kustatan production facility, will be returned to the Osprey platform where it will be used for water flood. The order for the first batch of 10 SafEye Open Path Gas Detection Systems model 301 was placed by EFS, Anchorage, Alaska to monitor the gas/vapor emissions on Kustatan offshore platform. Emission sources at the Kustatan production site will include two gas fired turbines, eight gas fire heaters, several storage tanks and various process units. The following additional equipment (incorporated in the Osprey and Kustatan projects) was commissioned by Engineered Fire Systems (EFS) in Anchorage, Alaska: 31 SharpEye Triple IR Optical Flame Detectors, 36 SafEye Open Path Gas Detection Systems.
Turbo Gas Station, Kazakhstan Nuovo Pignone from Firenze (Italy) installed 12 SafEye Open Path (Line-of-Sight) IR (OPIR) Gas Detection Systems in the Kazakhstan pipeline project. The systems protect the Turbogas station and monitor hydrocarbon leaks.

The
ASE Merida III Plant is a major power supplier to the Mexican state of
Yucatan. The new facility was required to protect the two large gas-fueled
turbine generators from potential hazards of hydrocarbon leaks. The
turbine enclosures generate extremely high turbulence and air velocity
that render point gas detectors ineffective since they have a small
detection surface. 
Forest Oil will convert its Osprey exploration platform
into a development platform, construct the onshore Kustatan production
facility and construct pipelines from the platform to the Kustatan
production facility and then to existing pipelines. The pipeline will come
straight to shore from the Osprey platform to the onshore production
facility Forest will build at Kustatan.
