Application

Ex-Protected Oil Film Detector for Potentially Explosive Areas

An oil film detector with ATEX approval is the optimal solution for applications in potentially explosive areas such as refineries, tank farms, wastewater treatment plants, or chemical industrial facilities. Our explosion-protected oil film detector has been specifically developed for these requirements and reliably detects oil films on water surfaces - even under extreme weather conditions or in heavily polluted industrial environments. It thus ensures maximum operational safety while simultaneously supporting compliance with legal environmental regulations.

ATEX Certification for Maximum Safety

The detector complies with the requirements of the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. This makes the device ideal for potentially explosive atmospheres, as they occur in many industrial processes. The ATEX approval ensures that all electrical and mechanical components are designed in such a way that no ignition sources arise - a crucial factor for safe continuous operation in sensitive areas.

Precise Oil Film Detection with Minimal Maintenance Effort

The highly advanced optical sensor technology of the detector recognizes even the smallest amounts of oil film on water surfaces - regardless of lighting conditions or water turbidity. When individually adjustable limit values are exceeded, an immediate alarm is triggered via analog or digital interfaces. The robust design with a corrosion-resistant housing and low sensitivity to contamination makes the system particularly maintenance-friendly and long-lasting - ideal for unsupervised continuous operation.

Typical Areas of Application

The SOF-1600 model is predestined for applications where both environmental monitoring and explosion protection are essential. Typical areas of application include, among others, chemical and petrochemical production plants, refineries, tank farms, industrial wastewater systems, hazardous material handling sites, as well as cooling water basins and retention basins in power plants or recycling facilities. The sensor can be easily integrated into existing control systems and supports continuous, automated monitoring.

Explosion-protected oil film detector for complex applications

With its combination of highly precise oil film detection, robust design, and complete ATEX certification, the explosion-protected oil film detector SOF-1600 offers a reliable and safe solution for demanding applications in potentially explosive areas. It not only helps to prevent environmental damage caused by undetected oil films but also increases operational safety and reduces the risk of failure - a crucial contribution to compliance with legal regulations and sustainable plant management.
