Safety Systems Technology

For over 25 years, we've been helping people protect lives with our flame detectors and gas leak detectors. Our products are used to prevent dangerous conditions that may lead to catastrophic explosions. SST offers UV only flame detectors, UV/IR flame detectors, and Multi-Spectrum IR flame detectors. For gas leak detection, SST offers combustible gas detectors to detect methane, propane, butane, hydrogen, and other combustible or flammable gas and vapors. SST also offers toxic gas detection for hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorine, and other toxic gases.

Heat Detectors respond to excessively high temperatures in the protected area, which are presumed to be the result of a fire in the area. Various techniques are used to distinguish between fire produced heat and heat increases due to expected conditions in the area. Flame or Smoke detectors will usually respond to a fire faster than heat detectors. But non-electronic styles of heat detectors (Our Model T300) are considered to be the most reliable fire reporting device, and are therefore often used as backups for the other fire detectors.

Flame detectors, also known as optical flame detector sensors, report the presence of visible fires within a protected area. All flames emit visible light plus invisible infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Our UV or UVIR flame detector sensors use these invisible radiations to distinguish between a real flame and other sources of radiation that are visible to the detector. The flame detector may be connected to a fire alarm control system, or can function as a stand alone device to alert personnel or to shut down equipment in case of a fire.

SST has extensive experience in the design, fabrication, and start-up of sophisticated process control, fire and gas detection and extinguishing systems for a worldwide customer base in the oil producing, refining, chemical and process industries. SST's multi-disciplined staff includes experienced, degreed sales, project, and field start-up engineers who have amassed extensive expertise in the petrochemical and process industries. Their experience base, coupled with a sincere commitment to evaluate the latest technology on a regular and consistent basis, ensure the design and manufacture of practical, innovative, high-quality systems that are easy and cost effective to operate and maintain.

Safety Systems Technology, established in 1988, is a world class engineering and manufacturing company headquartered in Southern California and has a worldwide distribution network. SST designs and manufactures fire and gas detection and control instrumentation, and has the capability to provide fully integrated turnkey systems, from design to start-up, for both new and retrofit applications, and in both the private and governmental sectors. SST has a worldwide customer base in diverse industries such as oil and gas exploration and drilling, hazardous waste, chemical storage facilities, sewage treatment plants, ships and tankers, utilities, automobile manufacturing, refrigeration, nuclear facilities, alternative energy, and industrial manufacturing facilities.

Smoke detectors respond to the combustion products emitted by burning materials. All smoke detectors report fires that emit visible smoke. Smoke detectors using ionization techniques for detection can also respond to fires which produce little or no visible smoke. Our smoke detectors are almost always connected our NOVA-5000 Fire Alarm Control System to report conditions to a central control point and alert personnel. For special applications, our smoke detectors are also available as a stand alone device.
