Oil & Gas

Specific project for industries and platforms

The use of machinery in the Oil &Gas industries and on offshore and onshore platforms often calls for compliance with specific regulations: the atmosphere in these cases as a result of the same industrial processes, could, in fact, contain a large amount of flammable vapours. Some machinery, both electrical, non-electrical or with internal combustion engines, must, therefore, comply with specific additional regulations, such as for example NORSOK M-501, which differ from standard ATEX rules. Bertinex can provide ad hoc advice, plus all the operations necessary to allow such equipment to work safely, even in the field of Oil & Gas.

WHAT WE DO

Flameproof conversions for mines and tunnels

According to current legislation, mines and tunnels are classified as belonging to Group I: ATEX regulations, therefore, require flameproof conversion of equipment intended for use in these areas, including shutdown in the event of an emergency. For this purpose, in the sector in question, it is possible to carry out the conversions of all types of equipment in zone 1 and 2 (for risks relating to flammable gases or vapours) or in zone 21 and 22 (when the type of risk instead concerns flammable dust or a mixture of gas-vapour and flammable dust).
