Explosion-Proof Pumps for Gas Sampling Solutions

Which Type of Pump Can Be Used in Explosive Environments?

ADI offers explosion-proof pumps, also known as "flame-proof" or "hazardous area" pumps. International directives such as ATEX, NEC, and IECEX provide guidelines for certifying pumps. ADI pumps adhere to these standards, ensuring compliance with strict safety measures for ignition protection in explosive atmospheres.

Where are Explosion-Proof Pumps Required?

Hazardous-duty pumps are crucial for safety and precision in various industries, particularly in locations with flammable gases. They play a vital role in the following industries and scenarios:

• Industrial Processing: Utilized in industries such as oil refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants to control gas quality and monitor emissions.
• Utility and Power Generation: Used by utility companies and power generation facilities for environmental monitoring, emissions control, and assessing flue gases.
• Safety and Compliance: Ensures safety and compliance in the nuclear sector, chemical processing plants, and the pharmaceutical industry by monitoring hazardous gases.
• Mining and Metal Industries: Monitors gases in mines and controls emissions in metal processing.
• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Essential for monitoring and controlling hazardous gases in treatment processes at water and wastewater treatment plants.

What are the advantages of ADI’s explosion-proof gas pumps?

Safety is of utmost importance at ADI. Our advanced technology enables the design of our Explosion-Proof Pumps for hazardous environments, providing several advantages:

• Leaks or Contamination-free: We seal our pumps securely and make them corrosion-resistant to maintain the purity of your gas samples for accurate assessment.
• Reliable and Robust: Designed for reliability in hazardous locations, these pumps ensure consistent performance, minimizing downtime.
• Easy Maintenance: Our pumps are easy to maintain, saving time and boosting productivity.
• High Flow Rates: They offer efficient gas extraction with high flow rates, up to 200 liters per minute, for quick analysis.
• Configure to Order: Tailor our pumps to your specific needs with options for motors, materials, sizes, and more. For additional information, kindly reach out to us.
• Available for Quick Delivery: Our experts can assemble most pumps to match your application in a short amount of time, reducing your downtime and boosting your productivity.

Some models, such as the R series, offer a dual diaphragm option, which enhances safety when transporting costly or extremely hazardous gases in demanding settings. If the primary diaphragm fails, the secondary diaphragm preserves the integrity of the sample media. Talk to an expert for more info on these heavy-duty pumps.

Explosion-Proof Classification is all about making equipment, like pumps, safe in places where there could be explosive gases or vapors.

In the world of risky environments, we have two important zones: Zone 1 and Zone 2. Our explosion-proof sample pumps fit into these categories, ensuring safety and reliability in critical gas sampling:

• Zone 1: Division 1 group is where explosive gases are likely to be present, like in an oil refinery where there are often flammable gases because of ongoing work. Our pumps with explosion-proof motors pumps exercise extreme caution in such environments. They make sure there are no sparks or anything that could start a fire while collecting gas samples.
• Zone 2: This is a place where explosive gases are unlikely but possible, like a storage area. But sometimes, there might be a risk, like during maintenance or if there's a leak. Even in these less risky situations, our pumps are all about safety. They provide the highest level of protection and follow safety rules from all over the world.
