CompEx Certified Control Panel Design for Hazardous Environments

Robust Control Panel Design for High-Risk Areas

 

Ensuring safety and compliance in high-risk environments

The precision and reliability of control panel design is vital to ensure the continuous efficient and smooth running of a production line. The challenge intensifies when a control panel system has to operate in a hazardous environment.

For hazardous area operations, the control panel design becomes even more critical and needs to match and comply with strict safety standards.

Designing fail-safe control panels for explosive atmospheres

To meet the strict safety standards, requires engineers with the knowledge and expertise to specify the correct components and have the required compliant qualifications to undertake hazardous design and installation.

Delta Rock with a CompEx-certified team, are qualified and equipped to meticulously design and specify components to ensure a control panel delivers flawless, efficient and a functional system that adheres to the most stringent hazardous area safety standards.

Safe and efficient systems

Our team have the capability to navigate through the complex regulations, to design, manufacture and install expertly crafted control systems suitable for use in any hazardous area (Zones 0,1,2,20,21,22) and meet specific regulations, such as DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere Regulations).

Correctly designed control panel systems will give your workforce and business a safe operational environment, provide peace of mind and reduce risk.

A higher commitment to safety

Whether the classification is flammable gases, dusts of vapours, our control panels are designed and manufacture to adhere to all current regulations.

Designing to meet the challenges of such volatile hazardous environments, we ensure every control panel makes use of carefully selected explosion-proof enclosures, intrinsically safe components, and meticulous wiring practices.

The risk of even a minor electrical flaw can lead to catastrophic disasters.

Automation expertise

Modern control panels featuring PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces) are complex command centres. Functioning safely in a hazardous zone is imperative.

We go beyond standard control. Delta Rock’s automation expertise will design control panels that manage processes, provide clear data visualisation and operator interaction and control.

We understand the importance of designing control panel systems that meet the needs of our customers now and their future objectives, whilst ensuring our designs will work safely and efficiently in any hazardous zone environment.

Protecting Your People, Powering Your Performance

Our CompEx qualified engineers specialise in the design and installation of fully compliant electrical systems for all hazardous zones (0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22), to keep you safe and compliant.

With authoritative experience across Petrochemical, Manufacturing, and Food & Beverage, Delta Rock has a proven track record and experience to guide and support you in your control panel system, whether it is an upgrade or a bespoke new system.

And remember that classifying hazardous areas is complex and requires the services and expertise of a qualified CompEx professional.
