These areas are often found at refineries, wastewater treatment plants, cement plants, fiber mills, and other hazardous facilities where explosive vapors, dust, or particles are normally present in the atmosphere or are potentially exposed to the atmosphere via accidental release. In these cases, it is critical that explosive substances do not come into contact with any electrical devices that could spark, such as motors and control panel instrumentation.
Siemens Water Technologies designs and constructs custom chemical feed skids that utilize various degrees of explosion-proof equipment components to ensure both regulation compliance and safety.
