INTEC Fixed Gas Detection Systems
Kerr is proud to announce a new partnership with INTEC Controls, the leading provider of fixed gas detection systems.
INTEC PX2
INDUSTRIAL GAS DETECTORS
September 2026 - Pittsburgh, PA
Kerr Engineered Sales Company announces new partnership with INTEC Controls. Unlike portable detectors, fixed detection devices make it possible to secure an entire area 24 hours a day. They can also be connected to a detection system, which displays the gas concentration in numerical value, and then triggers the servo-controls in the event of an abnormal value.
Detect abnormal or dangerous presence of gas in a specific area and warn users in the event of potential hazards. Some models are equipped with sensors that can measure the concentration of one or more types of gas.

An Emergency Repair Keeps Gas Flowing
When a smart pig in-line inspection identified severe corrosion on a 20-inch high-pressure natural gas pipeline, the utility turned to Daryl Smith to coordinate an emergency repair.
How Kerr Engineered Sales and T.D. Williamson helped an east coast utility isolate and replace a severely corroded section of 20-inch high-pressure pipeline in two weeks.
20-inch TDW double STOPPLE® Train in action
When a smart pig in-line inspection identified severe corrosion on a 20-inch high-pressure natural gas pipeline, the utility had to act fast. The amount of corrosion was a serious integrity concern, requiring an emergency repair.
The Solution
The utility turned to Daryl Smith, Sr. Application Specialist from Kerr Engineered Sales. Daryl put an emergency project into motion to replace the corroded section of a carbon steel pipeline in an extremely tight timeline. The project had to be executed in multiple sites without interruption of gas service.
KERR and TDW developed a repair plan using a 20-inch double STOPPLE® Train double block and bleed solution with a full bypass. Daryl rapidly secured the needed double STOPPLE® Train isolation equipment, fittings, and completion plugs. Technical support was fast tracked. After schedules were rearranged, a TDW technician was onsite within days.
With the pipeline in service, crews installed fittings and valves and performed hot taps at multiple locations. The double STOPPLE® Train system was then used to isolate the affected section of pipeline while the temporary bypass maintained gas flow.
Complicated Bend
A bend in the pipeline added a challenge
One section of approximately 30-feet included a bend, complicating the project. This added a challenge to the repair and required careful planning and execution to safely remove and replace the affected section. A temporary bypass maintained gas flow while the damaged pipe and bends were removed and replaced.
The Result
Once the corroded section was replaced at every site, the isolation equipment was removed and the pipeline was safely restored to normal operation. The emergency repair was completed within the two week deadline while gas flowed. A combination of rapid equipment mobilization, technical expertise, and coordinated field execution allowed the utility to address a serious pipeline integrity issue quickly while maintaining service throughout the repair.
Due to highly skilled crews and fast acting support, the elevated risks associated with a severely corroded pipeline were averted.
Preparations for the double STOPPLE® Train double block and bleed
Kerr Engineered Sales Company has represented leading pipeline repair and performance companies in Eastern U.S. since the company was founded in 1952.

ZEVAC Ventless Purge on a New Pipeline
See how ZEVAC cross compression purged a five mile section of new construction pipeline without venting. Using compressed air as a vacuum, the pipeline was cleared and feed gas was introduced into the system the next day.
ZEVAC technology purged a 12" diameter new construction pipeline.
See how ZEVAC cross compression was used to do a ventless purge on five mile segment new pipe, using compressed air as a vacuum. Pipeline feed gas was introduced into the system the next day.
Instead of releasing gas to the atmosphere, ZEVAC helps utilities safely capture and manage natural gas in pipelines. The pneumatic (air) powered and controlled technology eliminates the noise, permits, notifications, hazards, and difficulties of venting and flaring.
ABOUT ZEVAC
From mobile gas evacuation units to fully customized equipment and field services, ZEVAC enables a closed-loop system of capturing, transferring, and reusing natural gas during pipeline operations. The methane mitigation equipment reduces product loss, minimizes costly service calls, and supports safer, more efficient maintenance across the gas distribution network.
Since 1952, Kerr Engineered Sales Company has represented leading pipeline and performance equipment manufacturers across the Eastern U.S. With four generations of family leadership, Kerr continues to serve the industry with the same commitment to quality, reliability, and personal service that has defined our company for more than 74 years.
