H2S protection solutions for offshore
Contact our experts for consultancyWe provide specialized H2S safety equipment, available for both purchase and rental. To ensure safety and protection in hazardous environments, especially for those who work as offshore service providers such as drillers, dredgers and cable layers.
Our offerings include a fully equipped offshore container featuring a complete breathing air cascade system. Additionally, we offer H2S Awareness Trainings to enhance safety and readiness for this application.
Offshore mobile & stationary solutions
Our systems can be used as mobile versions (e.g. as container solution) in a modular concept as well as stationary versions with a shelter in a residential-like accommodation space (e.g. on a oil platform).
The mobile, pressure-reduced systems can installed and mounted e.g. on a trailer or in a container.
A two stage high pressure cascade system would be composed of the following components:
- Compressed air station
- Pressure reduction 300/200 bar
- Medium pressure line
- Manifold with pressure reduction 20/8 bar for distruibution between persons
- Hose reel solutions
Our stationary high pressure air supply systems are, among others, composed of the following:
- Air filtration
- Inlet monitoring (H2S, O2, CO, CO2, Ex)
- High-pressure compressors
- Compressed air monitoring (O2, CO, CO2)
- High pressure station
- Pressure reduction and regulation units
- Compressed air distribution (manifold, hose reel system)
Individually adjusted, the Dräger Rescue and Shelter Systems can be composed of the following individual products:
- CO2 filter
- O2 supply systems
- Lock systems
- Protective pressure
- Breathing air supply systems
- Filtration systems
- Breathing protection concepts for up to 400 people

Reducing the risks of H2S in the oil and gas industry
No matter whether on a greenfield or brownfield, or during field exploration, development or closure, hydrogen sulphide (H2S) presents a constant threat to workers and rescuers in any phase of oil and gas exploration and production. That’s why safety management should focus on H2S detection and monitoring, incident prevention and rescue preparedness. At Dräger, we are well-versed with precise measurement of H2S, monitoring of H2S release spots and emergency escape concepts – and you can trust in us to help you carry out your work safely.

H2S: the perils and safeguards
H2S is highly toxic to humans. It is a constant safety risk at nearly every workplace in the oil or gas industry – in upstream, midstream and downstream business. Incidents with high concentrations of H2S can lead to severe negative health effects, or even to death, within seconds. It’s important to understand the implications of this hazardous substance because good knowledge of precise H2S monitoring can save lives. Every drilling site and every extraction technology, such as a sour gas field or enhanced oil recovery (EOR), has its own rules – as well as unique hydrogen sulphide sources and leaks. That’s why professional risk assessment, precise measurement and seamless gas monitoring with direct connection to alarm systems are very important. Our experts can help you find the ideal solution for your workplace – even if you work under the harshest environmental conditions.
How to protect yourself from HAZMATs
The harmful effects of hazardous materials on the body can be sorted into categories. Take a look at how this helps you to evaluate what kind of protection you need.

Escaping from a hydrogen sulphide contaminated area requires that you’re able to rely 100% on your personal protection equipment (PPE). A respirator that is not suited for H2S conditions – or that has not been proven to have a protection factor high enough for H2S concentrations that exist in your workplace – may result in serious harm. Learn how self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with proven protection factors allow for safe work in areas where hydrogen sulphide is present.

Choosing the best escape respirator
Prevention is best. But in the event hazardous materials are released, you should have an emergency response plan in place. Here’s a look at how you can identify the right respirators to have on hand.

How fit tests can support safe work in H2S environments
If an H2S gas leak takes place, it can quickly come to a life-threatening concentration. Personal and well-fitted escape devices with suitable protection levels can protect workers from coming to harm in emergency situations.
