Industries with hazardous environments always maintain safety at the top level. Starting from oil refineries to gas refineries and even chemical plants, the explosion risk due to volatile materials is always lurking. Here comes the play of explosion-proof enclosure, acting as a frontline defence for equipment and manpower.
What are explosion-proof enclosures?
Explosion-proof enclosures are specifically designed housings that prevent sparks or high temperatures produced by the internal components from igniting external gases or dust. They are designed to withstand an explosion inside the enclosure and prevent it from spreading to the environment outside. These enclosures are certified to strict standards like ATEX or IECEx and are, therefore, necessary for maintaining safety in hazardous areas.
Why Are Explosion Proof Enclosures Important?
- Safety in Hazardous Zone Explosion-proof enclosures are critical for oil and gas, mining, and chemical processing industries that operate in an environment filled with flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dust. Electrical equipment must function without triggering a catastrophic incident.
- Compliance with Regulations
Safety standards are not among the options of high-risk industries. Explosion-proof enclosures allow organisations to avoid legal penalties and protect workers and assets by meeting safety certifications of international standards.
- Durable in Harsh Conditions
These enclosures are built to withstand extreme temperatures, corrosion, and even other harsh conditions. Their solidity ensures that they can be there for long periods without a need to replace or fix them repeatedly.
