Ensuring a safe and compliant vessel means keeping your fixed gas detection systems in top working condition. The Salwico Consilium Buveco SW2020 Gas Sampling System is a robust and trusted solution for continuous monitoring of explosive and toxic gases in ballast tanks, void spaces, pump rooms and other critical areas on board. Known for its scanning sampling method, the SW2020 transports samples from multiple points through a common detector setup to provide accurate, reliable readings across your ship.

Designed to support up to four detectors and dozens of sampling points with individually adjustable sampling times, the SW2020 offers flexibility and efficiency for complex marine gas detection needs. Its versatile design allows integration with high quality detectors, grouping of sampling points, and fast system response to alarm conditions.

Under international marine safety regulations including IMO, SOLAS and industry best‑practice guidelines such as SIRE 2.0, gas detection equipment must be regularly tested and calibrated. Monthly testing including zero and span calibration is recommended, and calibration procedures should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your vessel SMS. Records of inspections and calibration activities are essential for compliance during inspections.

We provide onboard calibration and service for the SW2020 system at major ports throughout Spain, Gibraltar, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy. Our technicians are available in ports including Algeciras, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Marseille, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Genoa, Piraeus, Varna and more, ensuring your system is maintained, calibrated and ready for safe operation.
