A offshore laboratory contain has potential sources of release such as hydrocarbon liquid and gas samples, and vapors from heated hydrocarbon liquids. Some equipment is not designed for hazardous area which it could present an ignition source. The laboratory container is designed by using external extracting system for the toxic fumes (Ex certified) from the fume cupboard. Other electrical equipment inside the lab container is also certified by Ex approvals, including split-type air conditioner, lighting, sockets, distribution boards, etc. Negative pressure is maintained by using exhaust blower and speically designed air-lock system.

The temporary refuge shelter (TR) or toxic gas refuge (TGR) is designed for drilling platform, offshore barge, oil & gas, petroleum, and chemical industries. The temporary refuge shelter is designed to protect personnel against H2S gases and other hazardous gases that can appear in case of an uncontrolled release. The design of the TR is that everybody can rush into the shelter immediately without any time-consuming air-locking process. During the stay of the people inside the TR they can breathe normally from the atmosphere in the room. The shelter is protected by over pressurization during stand-by as well as during emergency.
