As this issue is a high risk at hazardous place such as a combustible gas plant, there is an important need to use gas detector which functions to detect gas leakage at a particular area. However, some gas detectors are less reliable in detecting gas due to presence of other unwanted elements which may cause the instruments to malfunction. The objective of the study is to eliminate those unwanted elements in order to maintain the well functioning of the instrument. The paper discusses the Infrared signal absorption by combustible gas and solution to eliminate moisture trapped in gas detector. ©2009 IEEE. date: 2009 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77952666993&doi=10.1109%2fSCORED.2009.5442980&partnerID=40&md5=d1de4529ecfa669a6058fcfe83bada5e id_number: 10.1109/SCORED.2009.5442980 full_text_status: none publication: SCOReD2009 - Proceedings of 2009 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development place_of_pub: Serdang pagerange: 426-429 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781424451876 citation: Nasaruddin, N.M.B. and Elamvazuthi, I. and Hanif, N.H.H.B.M.
