Saudi Arabia has the second-largest proven oil reserves in the world, and one of the largest reserves of natural gas in the Persian Gulf. In addition to that, Ras Tanura is the world’s largest offshore oil loading facility with millions of barrels being loaded every day. This is one of the major reasons why we see so many oil and gas and petroleum industries in Saudi Arabia. All these industries along with some others like chemical manufacturing units, and construction, are prone to explosion and hazardous materials.
An ex-proof camera is a necessity for such explosion-sensitive industries as they are resistant to flammable dust and explosive material which are often present in hazardous areas. Demands for Explosion proof cameras are higher than ever. According to a report by Allied Market Research, the global market for explosion-proof equipment is expected to hit US$8.2 billion by 2022.
Proper supervision with ex-proof and ATEX-certified cameras can save company assets and even the lives of workers. When dealing with hazardous materials, being able to observe what is going on can make the difference between a normal, productive business day and a disaster that takes lives, and costs millions. Explosion-proof cameras play a critical role in the surveillance and monitoring of harsh environments. Salt, humidity, and chemical contamination can do a lot of harm to electronic devices, especially when they are constantly exposed to such substances. Therefore, explosion-proof cameras are your best bet for surveillance in hazardous areas.
ATEX is the European association that certifies that the camera equipment has been tested and passed in difficult conditions like in factories. The ATEX seal indicates that the camera is capable of tolerating all those dangerous conditions. Gases in the air and dust and vapor, mists too could combine and ignite into flame in particular conditions.
