Make a preliminary judgment based on the following:
Do your containers need to be placed in hazardous areas (ZONE1, ZONE 2)?

• Yes, containers need to be placed in hazardous areas.
• You need an explosion-proof container.

a) If the equipment in the container is explosion-proof, you can choose a container with explosion-proof and A60 fireproof function only
b) If the equipment in the container is non-explosion-proof, you need to choose an A60 fireproof and explosion-proof positively pressurized container (the air supply volume is greater than the exhaust volume. The indoor air is in a positive pressure state. Combined with the air conditioning unit, the cleanliness of the air sent into the container can be guaranteed.)

• No, but the inside of the container is a danger zone.
• You need a negatively pressurized container with explosion-proof standards

the air supply volume is less than the exhaust air volume, and the main cabin is in a negative pressure state. The surrounding air flows into the space and is discharged through the exhaust port for unified treatment.

• No, both inside and outside the container are safe areas
• You can choose a non-explosion proof container.

You can request whether the container has fire protection requirements according to your own needs. In general, the container can meet the A60 fire protection standard. At this time, the container is equipped with the corresponding fire damper (when a fire occurs, the fire damper can be automatically closed to cut off the spread of the fire through the ventilation duct, suitable for ships, offshore platforms and underground Engineering and other humid environments)​

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.

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.
