Increased safety – EExe
Full system certification
 
 
AMOT is well known in the oil and gas industry as a specialist in the design and manufacture of hazardous area control systems.

A range of custom built systems offering the flexibility to meet the changing needs of the customer, and fully certified with an overall system certificate to the latest CENELEC ratified standards for Hazardous area installations.

Complying with various modes of protection such as:

  EExd - Flameproof
  EExe - Increased safety
  EExi - Intrinsically safe

EExe benefits
  Easier installation with less materials required (Saving on cable glands)
  Faster turnaround on Maintenance
  Less down time, thereby lower running costs
  Full system certification meeting your specific needs
  Peace of mind - EExe meets all the latest standards for use in your field



   
Purging/pressurisation – EExp
Full system certification
 
 
Maintaining a safe area within a Hazardous environment by the method of positive air pressure above atmosphere (purging) of a cabinet, probably offers the greatest flexibility for installing instrumentation in a Hazardous area of any type of protection method available. This flexibility allows such diverse instrumentation as solid state monitors, controllers and even computers including the screen to be mounted local to the package.

EExe benefits
  Confirms the installation complies with the very latest standards and not those in place a few years ago
  The CENELEC Members Certificate confirms acceptance where insurance is sought
  Our innovative approach to the design concepts allow us to keep overall costs low

A major advantage of purged systems, apart from the extended range of equipment that can be protected, is that for the most part, it is good quality well proven standard industrial equipment which offers, in the event of failure, low cost replacement items.

Ambient temperature control is often an issue. AMOT can provide different types of control - from chillers to full air conditioning in hazardous areas.


   
Component certified installation – Ex
 
 
Typically the most common form of system designed installation used in the oil/gas industry today. Usually formed by the selection and installation of equipment by the system integrator whose knowledge has been acquired over many years experience. AMOT has over 35 years experience, with an understanding of the standards probably unequalled in a systems design company.

Combination panels allow AMOT to integrate a system design in accordance with CENELEC Standards to meet protection classes such as:

  EExd
  EExo
  EExp
  EExq
  EExe
  EExm
  EExi

Also to EExs where special cases dictate it.

Our expertise in design also allows us to incorporate equipment to the United States classification of Class 1 Div 1 and Class 1 Div 2 Flameproof.

NFPA 496 purge methods X,Y & Z

The component certified system must be designed and installed to the same high degree of excellence as the fully certified system, except it does not have the added safety and security of an overall single system certificate.


   
Pneumatic control – Ex Alternative
Pneumatic control
 
 
This is a serious alternative for the client that has worries about electrical control within a Hazardous area. Offering fit and forget reliability for remote places and the peace of mind that on-site operators can change seals etc. without specialist knowledge or equipment.

Often combined with electrical interface offering sophisticated local control with connection to remote SCADA or DCS.

These systems often utilise Amot’s own logic components and other proven technology to monitor and control all types of equipment including Automatic start/stop, dual fuel control, protection monitoring and shutdown facilities.

Pneumatic benefits
  Proven Technology
  Uncomplicated Maintenance
  Ease of Operation
  Flexibility
