ATEX risk analysis | Ignition sources and controls

ATEX risk analysis and ignition source assessment

Explosion safety starts with the question whether an explosive atmosphere can occur, whether it can be ignited and whether selected measures sufficiently control the risk.

Exquintia supports companies with focused risk analysis of ignition sources, process conditions and organisational controls.

Technical substantiation

A good ATEX risk analysis assesses the relationship between gas or dust, process conditions, installation behaviour, emissions, ignition sources, maintenance state and organisational control.

Exquintia translates realistic scenarios into substantiated decisions.

What Exquintia analyses

The analysis can support an explosion protection document, design review, modification project or independent assessment after an incident, near miss or audit finding.

flammable gases, vapours, mists and dusts
explosive atmospheres during normal and abnormal operation
process pressure, temperature, concentration, ventilation and extraction
dust clouds, dust layers and secondary dust explosions
hot surfaces, mechanical sparks, friction and impact
static electricity, charging, discharging and bonding
maintenance, cleaning, permits to work and hot work
temporary equipment in or near hazardous zones
detection, ventilation, inerting, explosion venting, suppression and isolation
competence, instructions, supervision and management of change

Result

After completion, you have a clear and substantiated risk analysis.

You know which ignition sources are relevant, which process conditions are decisive and which measures are technically defensible.
