Petroleum Industry

Exploration, extraction, gathering and transportation, refining and chemical processing, storage and transportation—these stages of the petroleum industry commonly involve explosive mixtures such as natural gas, crude oil vapors, and light hydrocarbons. These areas fall under Zone 1 (persistent or frequent presence of explosive gas atmospheres) and Zone 2 (occasional presence of explosive gas atmospheres) hazardous zones as defined by national standards. 
Flameproof enclosures of flameproof motors can withstand the explosion pressure of internal explosive gas mixtures and prevent the propagation of explosion flames to the outside environment. They are the preferred choice for power equipment in such scenarios.
