ATEX and IECEx

Safety is at the heart of the global process industry

Solutions for explosion-proof areas (ATEX and IECEx)

ATEX or IECEx solutions are used wherever potentially explosive atmospheres can be created by gases, vapors or dusts.

(Petro)chemistry and power plants

Especially in chemical and petrochemical plants, individual components of sample preparation or even complete analysis systems are often operated within an explosion-proof zone. The majority of these applications are found in the area of process control, process optimization and process safety.

However, the use of explosion-proof solutions is also becoming increasingly common in industrial power plants in industrial parks or plants for the incineration of industrial residues and waste. Particularly with regard to the corrosive and explosive components found in the chemical and petrochemical industries, high demands are sometimes placed on the use of ATEX/IECEx components and systems.

PSG Process probe for the ATEX area up to 180°C

In addition to the particular advantage that the PSG Process probes can do without an additional controller and limiting unit thanks to self-limiting heating cartridges (90°C, 150°C, 180°C), an additional high protection class up to IP 65 is achieved via a dissipative GRP protective box.

Even for systems that have extremely high requirements for a stable extraction temperature of 180°C due to acid dew points, the required temperature can be achieved via self-limiting heating even at very low ambient temperatures (down to -40°C) for Zone II 2G Ex d IIC T3.

Special Filter Design for low Maintenance

Thanks to the surface design of the filter, very long service lives are achieved both with high and low dust contents, which are common in the process industry.

It is precisely this property that enables operators of potentially explosive systems to reduce working and maintenance times in their ATEX systems to a minimum.

Cut-to-length and fully certified PSG Process ATEX

Even heated sample lines, which usually seem trivial, have to meet a wide range of requirements in the ATEX area. Requirements are, for example, the assembly, the laying, the supply, as well as the electrostatic properties of the lines.

With the shortenable PSG Process ATEX cables, holding temperatures of up to 180 °C can be achieved and adjusted to the correct length in the system using the convenient cut-to-length technology.

Conductive Surface of the Jacket Material

This feature reduces unnecessary installation work, optimizes the use of resources and also saves energy, as the heating tape enables energy savings of more than 50 % compared to conventional solutions thanks to efficient insulation technology with a maximum power output of 60 W/m.

Thanks to the patented technology of a fully dissipative outer jacket (antistatic), not only the heating tape but also the entire assembly is fully certified.

PSG Process Cooler for ATEX Zone 1 and 2

Applications and installation locations for sample gas coolers in analysis systems are often found in explosion-free areas.

However, when it comes to critical and important measurements, applications for inerting or measuring flammable gases, coolers for use in the ATEX zone are increasingly being used.

Integrated SIL temperature measurement

With the new MAK Process, the requirements of the process industry are taken into account in one device. High flow rates to reduce T90 times, integrated SIL temperature measurement, piped gas paths and a stainless steel heat exchanger ensure that the sample gas cooler is safe to use all round.
