    • Built with enclosures to prevent sparks, static discharge, or
      overheating.
    • Compliance with international safety standards (e.g., ATEX,
      IECEx).

Fire Protection Systems

  • Systems to detect, suppress, and prevent fires.
  • Key Features:
    • Includes sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and fire suppression
      agents (e.g., CO₂ or foam).
    • Integrated with alarms and emergency shutdown systems.

Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD)

  • Automated systems to shut down operations in the event of a hazard.
  • Key Features:
    • Triggered by sensors detecting unsafe conditions (e.g., pressure,
      temperature, leaks).
    • Prevents further escalation of incidents.

Containment Systems

  • Key Features:
    • Dust collectors, fume extractors, and filtration systems.
    • Ensures compliance with occupational safety standards (e.g.,
      OSHA, EU Directives).

Personnel Protection Systems

  • Focused on safeguarding operators and workers.
  • Key Features:
    • Guardrails, interlock systems, and emergency stop buttons.
    • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) integration, including
      breathing apparatus and protective suits.

Pressure Relief Systems

  • Description: Prevent over-pressurization in tanks, pipelines, or reactors.

      conditions.

Gas Detection Systems

  • Detect leaks or hazardous gas concentrations in the environment.
  • Key Features:
    • Sensors for combustible, toxic, or oxygen-deficient gases.
    • Audible and visual alarms to alert personnel.

Access Control and Safety Interlocks

  • Restrict unauthorized access and ensure safe operation of machinery.
  • Key Features:
    • Interlocks prevent machines from starting unless conditions are safe.
    • Access control systems for hazardous areas.

Anti-Static and Grounding Systems

  • Minimize static electricity buildup, which could ignite flammable
    materials.
  • Key Features:
    • Grounding clamps, static discharge plates, and anti-static flooring.

Noise and Vibration Control Systems

  • Reduce noise and vibration levels to protect workers and equipment.
  • Key Features:
    • Acoustic enclosures, vibration dampers, and silencers.
    • Ensures compliance with occupational noise standards.
