Do these process safety problems sound familiar?
Accurately identify and understand the properties of your solvents
Although there has been a growth in aqueous-based coatings systems rather than solvent based systems, solvents are prone to unique hazards that pose serious fire and explosion risk
Choosing a suitable basis of safety
Explosion protection measures include containment, explosion venting and/or suppression. A basis of safety should be correctly implemented per equipment
Correctly categorising hazardous zones
Knowing how often, when and where explosible vapours and dusts may be generated which can mix with air to produce an explosive atmosphere – this is known as the Hazardous Area Classification which determines a risk based zone
Unfamiliarity regarding electrical equipment and electrostatics in your process
An ignition source may be hot surfaces, electrostatic discharges or open flames. It is important to test and understand the potential electrical charge of all of these key areas, equipment (earthing & extraction) and materials.

Guarantee Product Integrity
Many paint materials and their by-products are highly flammable. They require specialist risk assessments to prevent combustion, prevent leakage and mitigate potential fire hazards
Safeguard Your Systems
Painting and coating products require ventilation systems. The correct design of vapour and dust removal system in a facility can help prevent the build-up of explosive atmosphere
Correctly Install Equipment
Use our range of specialist expertise to effectively undertake hazardous area classification’s. Ensure safety and save money by correctly placing your equipment in suitable hazardous zones
Consolidate Your Materials
Ensure that your materials are tested for fire and explosivity if you are unaware about the potential explosive chemical properties and the potential hazards of your materials
