About This Project
This safety-critical project involved upgrading the material handling infrastructure at a large chemical processing facility. OWARI Engineering installed ATEX-rated conveyor systems for hazardous zones, Fortelock chemical-resistant flooring throughout the processing areas, and Faraone safety platforms for safe elevated access during maintenance. All equipment was certified for use in explosive atmospheres and met the facility's stringent safety requirements.
The Challenge
The chemical facility needed to upgrade its material handling systems to meet updated ATEX regulations for explosive atmospheres. Existing equipment was not rated for the facility's hazardous zones, and maintenance access was unsafe, leading to regulatory concerns.
Our Solution
OWARI Engineering installed fully ATEX-certified conveyor systems designed for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, replaced all flooring with Fortelock chemical-resistant tiles that withstand aggressive chemical exposure, and installed Faraone safety platforms at all elevated maintenance points with proper fall protection.
