At 7Solutions we make it our job to provide you with the best solutions in gas detection. Most of the time, it is not only the gas detector that makes a solution a fit for a customer’s application. Did you know that the accessories, and the quality of the accessories, are just as important?
Last time we wrote about the gates of hell in Hierapolis, Turkey. This time we are telling you the story about a totally different phenomenon which can still be visited today: the crater of Derweze. Long story short: they were looking for natural gas and they found it (Methane).
Often gases are odourless and colourless. Of course, we have a few exceptions like Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Ammonia (NH3). Ancient empires and their people tend to credit the phenomenon’s they can’t explain to their respective gods, like Zeus with his lighting. Since gases couldn’t be detected yet (and gas detection unfortunately wasn’t around) gas hazards were often credited to gods.
