Expert solutions for safe operation in explosive atmospheres

At safe­tec, we know all about explo­si­on pro­tec­tion - par­ti­cu­lar­ly important on off­shore plat­forms and gas/chemical trans­por­ters, whe­re flamma­ble sub­s­tances such as liquids, gases and dust are omni­pre­sent. With the increase in modern ship pro­pul­si­on sys­tems such as LNG, LPG and hydro­gen, the requi­re­ments for explo­si­on pro­tec­tion on con­ven­tio­nal ships are also increasing.

Our team has a wealth of expe­ri­ence in explo­si­on pro­tec­tion, espe­ci­al­ly when it comes to smo­ke detec­tion sys­tems (SDS), which are deve­lo­ped accor­ding to the latest inter­na­tio­nal stan­dards such as IEC 60079 and ISO 80079. The­se stan­dards cover ever­y­thing from gene­ral requi­re­ments to the design of fans ope­ra­ting in explo­si­ve atmospheres.

We are the pro­fes­sio­nals when it comes to imple­men­ting pro­jects whe­re elec­tri­cal devices such as fire detec­tors, but­tons, alarms and soleno­id val­ves need to be instal­led in poten­ti­al­ly explo­si­ve atmo­sphe­res. We have mas­te­red our pre­vious pro­jects with sys­tems such as ACS-1, E-GAS and E-CO2 with aplomb.

Once we know exact­ly what is nee­ded in the hazar­dous are­as, we get star­ted: we cal­cu­la­te, test and docu­ment ever­y­thing neces­sa­ry for the sel­ec­ted devices. Some­ti­mes the enti­re con­trol sys­tem has to be instal­led in a hazar­dous area. No pro­blem for us! We pack the sys­tem into a spe­cial Ex d enclo­sure and sup­port our cus­to­mers from the sel­ec­tion of the right devices to the com­ple­te pro­ject documentation.
