Petrochemicals
Hazardous areas, Gulf heat, no excuses.
Refineries, crackers, polymer plants and terminals combine hazardous areas, long pipe runs and summer heat. We supply ATEX rated and stainless emergency showers and eyewash units, tank fed stations with cooling, and enclosed cabins for exposed plant.

What petrochemicals projects need
Get these right first
Hazardous area ratings
ISTEC units come in ATEX (explosion proof) versions for classified areas, and Hughes offers units for hazardous and non hazardous areas.
Water too hot to use
Exposed lines in GCC summers run far above 38°C. Insulated tanks with chillers, or cooled supplies, keep the water tepid.
Coastal corrosion
AISI 316 stainless steel resists chloride corrosion better than 304, which matters on coastal plant.
Alarms
Audible and visual alarms tell the control room the moment a station is used. Available as options on listed models.
