Control of Explosion-Proof Facilities

Facilities that handle flammable liquids and fuel require high safety and reliability standards for equipment. In such conditions, it is especially important to consider risks related to potential ignition or explosions, necessitating the use of certified solutions that comply with explosion-proof standards. International ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible) certification is a mandatory requirement for equipment operating in high-explosion-risk zones.

According to ATEX classification, hazardous zones are categorized based on risk levels:

Zone 0
A zone where an explosive atmosphere is constantly or frequently present (e.g., near flammable liquid storage tanks)
Zone 1
A zone where an explosive atmosphere may occur under normal operating conditions but for a limited time (e.g., near regularly used refueling sites)
Zone 2
A zone where an explosive atmosphere may occur only in the event of an emergency and for a very short period

For effective and safe control and management of fuel processes in such facilities, equipment must be certified for safe operation in these zones. This equipment must eliminate all potential ignition risks, such as sparks, high temperatures, or static electricity.

Solution Components

Omnicomm offers solutions that are ideally suited for explosion-proof facilities, including equipment certified to international standards.

Omnicomm LLS-Ex 5 Fuel Level Sensor

An explosion-proof digital sensor designed for measuring fuel levels in vehicle tanks and stationary fuel storage facilities operating in hazardous zones. It ensures high measurement accuracy and meets international fuel measurement standards for such zones.

Omnicomm BIS-MX Spark Protection Unit

A device designed to ensure spark safety when using fuel level sensors in explosion-risk zones. The BIS-MX protects equipment from spark discharges, preventing ignition in explosive atmospheres. It allows simultaneous connection of two sensors to a single GPS-tracker.

Omnicomm RKTZ-MX Splitter

A device that enables the connection of more than two Omnicomm LLS-Ex 5 fuel level sensors to a GPS-tracker while maintaining explosion-proof safety requirements.

To ensure safety and reliability at explosion-proof facilities, it is crucial to use certified equipment that meets international standards like ATEX. Omnicomm products, certified for operation in these environments, not only enhance safety but also improve fuel accounting accuracy, helping prevent losses due to fraud or mismanagement.

Using high-quality certified equipment that meets all safety requirements minimizes explosion and fire risks, ensuring uninterrupted operations and worker safety. Implementing Omnicomm solutions at such facilities enhances both safety and fuel resource management efficiency.
