A well-known American control system manufacturer wanted to equip an FPSO vessel belonging to one of their end customers with a complete electrical solution. To achieve this, the control system manufacturer required different ATEX- and IECEx-certified enclosures for Zone 1 and temperature class T4 so that the solution could be equipped with remote I/O systems.
To meet these requirements, the Pepperl+Fuchs engineers opted to use the 6500 Series purge and pressurization system. This system consists of a control unit, an enclosure protection vent, and a manifold valve, forming the basis for the required explosion-protected enclosure solution. The enclosures themselves are made entirely of SS316L stainless steel, making them suitable for the harsh offshore conditions aboard the FPSO vessel.
Bebco EPS® purge and pressurization systems are used in hazardous areas in the process automation industry. Continuous monitoring of conditions inside the enclosure provides reliable explosion protection for a wide variety of applications. The comprehensive portfolio of globally certified purge and pressurization systems makes it easy to specify and select the right solution for your process.
