Shut Off Systems for Hazardous Gases Such as Ethylene (C2H4)

About Ethylene

Ethylene is a plant hormone that differs from other plant hormones in being a gas. It is a simple asphyxiant and is very flammable.

Ethylene is used in the ripening of plants and produce in order to speed them to market. It is shipped in pressurized containers and tank cars.
