The Repsol Butano GLP factory in Santurce, Vizcaya province, is a facility dedicated to the production and storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). LPG, commonly known as butane, is widely used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and other domestic purposes in homes and businesses.
The factory has a significant capacity for LPG storage and implements strict safety and control procedures to ensure the safe handling and storage of the gas.
SOLUTION BY GLAKOR® ENGINEERING TEAM
Given the special context of the LPG factory, where enclosures and accessories will be exposed to corrosive marine environments in areas with Atex explosion risk, it is necessary to provide solutions for any potential issues that may arise.
To achieve this objective and ensure optimal operation for as long as possible, with all the necessary certifications and approvals for explosive atmospheres, Glakor® offers as a solution Atex cable glands for non-armored cables, manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel. These cable glands provide complete security and sealing for this major project, guaranteeing a high level of quality with dust insulation and resistance to corrosion in Atex explosion risk areas.
This, combined with Atex Delvalle's custom control enclosures from the Contrex Series, made of stainless steel coated with painted polyester, stands out for their robustness and sealing in explosive atmospheres classified as zones 1, 2, 21, and 22.
