The definition of Zone 2 is a hazardous area classified as an atmosphere where a mixture of air and flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is not likely to occur in normal operation, but if it does occur, will persist for a short period only.
- Zone 2 0 2 – Monitor Working Time And Efficiency Improvement
- Zone 2 0 2 – Monitor Working Time And Efficiency Costs
Zone 2 hazardous areas are typically storage areas but can also be process areas.
Zone 2 0 2 – Monitor Working Time And Efficiency Improvement
Introducing ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 certified industrial monitors and UL/CSA Class 1 Division 2 (Class 1 Div 2) approved touch screen industrial display from AIS. These ruggedized, explosion proof HMIs industrial and displays are designed with an open architecture for maximum application flexibility for use in hazardous areas and classified locations in oil & gas, petrochemical refining processing.
Zone 2 applications
- LED's showing DAMPER status simplify troubleshooting. SmartZone-2L can maximize equipment efficiency & protection with optional supply Temperature sensor (#ASAS). Universal compatibility, time saving and exclusive value-added features make SmartZone-2L the smart choice for any 2 zone system.

- Effective managers and team leaders actively monitor their employees in a variety of ways to ensure that low performers are quickly disciplined and high performers are rewarded. Monitoring employees can also help you identify areas where employees are wasting company time or resources on private matters.
For Zone 2 materials handling applications, Pyroban predominantly uses active gas detection but when required can covert equipment using passive protection technology. We offer active gas detection with system6000 and passively protect equipment using Ex-tec 3G for electric materials handling equipment, and Euromech 3G for diesel equipment.
Pyroban are able to convert equipment to meet Zone 2 requirements for use across the world. We are able to meet the following legal certifications:
- ATEX – Europe
- GB – China
- NEC – USA
- IECEx – International
The use of explosion protection equipment in a potentially hazardous area is something which is a requirement from both the user and supplier of the Ex-proof equipment.
For example, European ATEX legislation has two different directives for the user and the supplier:
Zone 2 0 2 – Monitor Working Time And Efficiency Costs
ATEX 1999/92/EC – For industries that operate with potentially explosive atmospheres
ATEX 1999/92/EC requires companies to manage the risk and the process safely. Companies should:
- Prevent the formation of explosive atmospheres in the workplace OR avoid the ignition of explosive atmospheres
- Conduct a hazardous area risk assessment including the likelihood of explosive atmospheres and a source of ignition
- Classify the workplaces into hazardous area Zones depending on the frequency and time that an explosive atmosphere is present in the form of gas, vapour, powder or dust. For example:
- ATEX Zone 1 (high risk gas/vapour)
- ATEX Zone 2 (medium risk gas/vapour)
- ATEX Zone 21 (high risk powder/dust)
- ATEX Zone 22 (medium risk powder/dust)
- Mark areas with signs at point of entry
- Create and maintain an explosion protection document
- Select ATEX 2014/34/EU compliant equipment according to the intended Zones
ATEX 2014/34/EU (previously 94/9/EC) – For industries that supply equipment into hazardous area
Equipment for operation in hazardous areas must comply with the requirements of ATEX 94/9/EC Directive and be suitably protected.
Equipment is built to a level of protection known as a category which matches the risk. (Category 2G/Zone 1, Category 3G/Zone 2, Category 2D/Zone 21, Category 3D/Zone 22)
EXPLOSION PROTECTION FOR LIFT TRUCKS IN ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS AREAS
We offer explosion protection conversions for lift trucks, reach trucks, pallet and stacker trucks, VNA and pickers operating in Zone 2 hazardous areas. Conversions take place at Pyroban in the UK.
We also provide lift truck conversion solutions for other hazardous areas, including Zone 1 – ATEX 2G conversions, Zone 21 – ATEX 2D conversions, Zone 22 – ATEX 3D conversions and added safety systems.
EXPLOSION PROTECTION FOR CRANES, ACCESS PLATFORMS, SCRUBBER DRIERS…
For Cherry Pickers, scissor lifts, cranes, access platforms, scrubber driers, tractors and more, Pyroban provides ATEX compliant conversions for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22
DIESEL ENGINE EXPLOSION PROTECTION FOR ZONE 2
Diesel engines are used in Zone 2 areas offshore to power temporary well service equipment such as Coiled Tubing Units, cementing units, air compressors and much more. Pyroban provides:
- Explosion protection (ATEX) engine Kits – for multiple engine types used in well service equipment
- Explosion protection (ATEX) engine Packages – from leading OEMs for use in well service equipment
EXPLOSION PROTECTION COMPONENTS
Pyroban manufactures a wide range of explosion proof (ATEX) components certified for use in hazardous areas.
