Offshore research has become an important part of modern science, providing valuable insights into the ocean environment and its impact on the planet. However, conducting research in remote and challenging offshore locations can be difficult due to a lack of proper infrastructure. That's where offshore laboratory containers come in as a solution.

An offshore laboratory container is a modular and transportable unit designed specifically for use in offshore environments. These containers are manufactured by companies like TLS Offshore Containers and are used by scientists, engineers, and researchers to conduct experiments, gather data, and analyze samples in remote locations.

One of the key benefits of using an offshore laboratory container is its mobility. Unlike traditional laboratory structures, these containers can be easily moved from one location to another, making them ideal for use in areas where access is limited or conditions change frequently. Additionally, because they are designed to be used in harsh offshore environments, they are built to withstand extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rain, and high waves.

Another advantage of offshore laboratory containers is their versatility. They can be customized to meet the specific needs of each research project, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including oceanographic research, environmental monitoring, and geotechnical studies.

In terms of safety and efficiency, offshore laboratory containers are equipped with two overwhelming fans, which form negative pressure inside the container. This helps to withdraw flammable or toxic gases that may occur during experiments, ensuring the safety of the researchers and preventing the release of hazardous substances into the environment. The negative pressure inside the container also helps to maintain a clean and controlled environment for experiments.

In addition to the overwhelming fans, offshore laboratory containers are also equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including specialized scientific instruments, communication systems, and power generation units. This allows researchers to work in the field with ease and efficiency, and to collect and analyze data in real-time.

In conclusion, offshore laboratory containers are a safe and efficient solution for conducting research in remote and challenging environments. With their mobility, versatility, and advanced safety features, they provide a reliable and secure platform for scientists, engineers, and researchers to work and gather valuable data. If you are looking for a solution for your offshore research needs, consider an offshore laboratory container from TLS Offshore Containers.
About offshore negative pressure lab container certified by DNV2.7-1
The basic principle of the negative pressure system is to keep the pressure of the environment inside the container lower than that outside, so that the toxic gas or flammable gas in the container will not be directly discharged from the it, and the negative pressure system captures dangerous and infectious particles in the air, and it is removed with a blower and a set of filters.
The negative pressurized container provide by TLS typically has 2 fans, a small fan for normal mode and a large fan for emergency mode. When either fan is turned on, a negative pressure environment is formed inside. When only the small fan in the fume hood is turned on, the internal pressure is around -30~40Pa, and normal ventilation mode in the container; When the flammable gas/H2S low level alarm is triggered, the outdoor Ex-fan will automatically turn on, the internal pressure is around -130Pa and the container enter the emergency mood and it will automatically turn off when the gas concentration is lower than the set value. If the gas concentration does not decrease, the high-level alarm of flammable gas/H2S would sound, after the alarm lasts for 10 seconds, the power supply of the container will be cut off. Negative pressure is a safe sealing solution which is widely used in lab containers, Mud Labs, etc. ​Please download laboratory container brochure for reference. 
The regular production cycle of 20ft offshore negative pressure containers is around 3 months after order is confirmed. Those lab containers are specially designed and manufactured for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
