This is a positive pressure explosion-proof, fire grade A60 laboratory container, which can be used from -25 ℃ to +50℃, with good sealing, rain resistance, sand resistance, suitable for land oil exploration and offshore oil exploration in hazardous areas and desert areas. The design and construction meet the IEC60079-13 2010 specification, DNV2.7-1 and SOLAS 2009. Explosion-proof appliances meet the CNEX or ATEX explosion-proof standards.

The positive pressure test container is integrated with CPFG control cabinet, positive pressure air path system, explosion-proof centrifugal air unit, safe power supply system, fire alarm system, lighting system, alarm system, explosion-proof air conditioner, air valve control system and explosion-proof isolation switch box.

In order to meet the various conditions for the products to be used in Petrobras, TLS insists on strictly controlling the quality of the products in every step, from preprocessing of sheet and section steel to welding and assembly, from painting and decoration to debugging and installation, from label and decal to cleaning and packing. In addition to professional certification certificates, professional detection methods, real and convincing data and several measured operation results are the quality assurance that TLS believes should be provided to customers.

What are the common container structures？
Different containers usually have different shapes and structures due to different uses. Let's take a look at the common container structures.

• Dry Containers

The common dry box structure is often used to transport common cargo and is the most common type of container.

• Flat Rack Containers

The sides can be folded, which can accommodate oversized and overweight cargo or machinery, etc.

• Open Top Container

The top can be opened, allowing cargo to be loaded from the top of the container, mainly for placing oversized cargo

• Tunnel Container

Doors open at both ends for easy loading and unloading of items in the box

• Side Opening Container

Containers with open sides for easy loading and unloading

• Tank

The type of container used to transport liquid materials. Most of these containers are made of anti-corrosion materials

• Half Height Containers| Cutting Skip

The size is half the size of a normal dry container. Mainly used for coal, stone and other goods that need to be easily loaded and unloaded.

​In addition to containers used to transport goods, do you know what types of special containers there are?

• Reefer Container| Refrigerated Container

Containers with refrigerated and fresh-keeping functions for transporting or preserving food, medicines and other items.

• Positive Pressure Container

The pressure inside the container is greater than the pressure outside, which can be used in hazardous area/safe area

• Negative Pressure Container

The pressure inside the container is less than the pressure outside, which can be used in areas where the environment inside the container is not safe,but the outside environment is safe

• Energy Storage System (ESS)

An energy storage system, often referred to as an ESS, is a device or group of devices assembled together that can store energy to provide electricity at a later time. Battery ESS is the most common type of new installation

• Lab Container/Workshop Container

A movable office container that can be used in dangerous or safe areas, when the external environment is complex, the internal working environment can be guaranteed to be safe, stable and comfortable

• Accommodation Container

A container for personnel accommodation that is easy to transport and move

• Temporary shelter| Temporary refuge shelter (TR)

In case of external explosions, fire, gas leakage and other dangerous situations, the shelter can provide a safe and reliable refuge for refugees.

• Sewage Treatment Container

Integrated container sewage treatment system, treated sewage can meet the corresponding standards according to customer demand.​

CPFG is divided into three working modes: manual mode, bypass mode and automatic mode. Turn the mode selector switch to the corresponding mode, at the same time, HMI face change will switch to the corresponding mode. The operation instructions of each mode are as follows:
 
Manual mode: only for emergency use, only the HMI "STOP" button/ESD signal/Cut-off signal can stop the output of safety power supply.
Bypass mode: Only can be used in safe area, make sure no dangerous gas and fire alarm start the safety power supply.
Auto mode: Can be used for normal use in dangerous area.

The pressurised container | MUD logging cabin | ATEX container | Zone 2 container | MCC shelter |Lab container provided by TLS Offshore container is equipped with explosion-proof temperature sensor and smoke detector.
When the temperature is too high and the smoke concentration is large, the fire alarm will be triggered.

When the modular container needs fire and explosion protection and external cables need to be connected to the container, how to do it?

Use MCT (the multi-cable transit system) to ensure that the container meets the air tightness and pressure requirements.
​
MCT features:

• Protects against fire, smoke, explosions, rodents and other hazards;
• Protects against the elements and hazards caused by weather as well as water, sand and dust from splashes or hoses;
• MCT, specifically designed for IEC, ATEX and AEX standards, can be used in hazardous areas;
• MCTs can provide certified gas-tightness to a catastrophic pressure of 2.5 bar (~36 psi) in demanding offshore applications, and they can easily meet onshore requirements aiming at maintaining a pressure slightly positive to atmosphere.

What is ATEX?
The name ATEX comes from the French ATmosphère EXplosibles, describing the equipment and use of a product to be located in an explosive atmosphere.
The ATEX directive applies to a wide range of equipment, generally including offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, flour mills and other equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The Directive also applies to safety devices beneficial to the safety of equipment, which may be used outside potentially explosive atmospheres.
 
What is IECEx?
IEC Scheme for Certification to Standards for Electrical Equipment for Explosive atmospheres, referred to as IECEx explosion-proof certification, was established in 1996 and is an international explosion-proof certification organization for explosion-proof electrical products.
The IECEx Directive refers to the certification of electrical equipment specially used in industrial sectors such as petroleum, chemical, coal mining, textile, food processing and military industries that may accumulate explosive gases, vapors, dust or fibers and other explosive hazards.
 
Difference between ATEX and IECEx

• ATEX is a mandatory certification in the EU, and all explosion-proof equipment sold in the EU market must pass the ATEX explosion-proof directive 94/9/EC certification.ATEX certification is only available in EU countries.
• IECEx is a voluntary certification, not mandatory, and is not currently recognized by the EU and North American markets.
• ATEX certification can be based on IECEx test reports, but ATEX documents do not necessarily support IECEx certificates.
