TLS Offshore Laboratory Containers: Safety, Efficiency, and DNV Certification for Extreme Environments

The Challenge: Scientific Precision in Harsh Marine Conditions
In the global energy sector, from bustling FPSO vessels to remote offshore platforms, essential laboratory operations face unique threats: constant corrosion, hazardous zones, high humidity, and stringent regulatory demands. Standard container solutions simply don't cut it.

TLS Offshore Laboratory Container Solutions addresses this critical gap by delivering fully engineered, modular offshore laboratory solutions built to ensure continuous, compliant operation—no matter how demanding the conditions at sea. We ensure your offshore work maintains precision, safety, and efficiency.

Engineered for Offshore Excellence: Beyond a Standard Box
Unlike modified general-purpose containers, every TLS lab unit is purpose-built for the marine environment. This structural integrity is non-negotiable for long-term reliability. Our containers are built with:

• Robust Structure: Reinforced using high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand salt-laden air and mechanical stress.
• Ultimate Protection: Equipped with A60-rated fire insulation and wave-resistant construction for maximum stability and fire safety.
• Personnel Safety: Features anti-slip flooring to ensure the safety of personnel even in high-humidity and wet conditions.

Critical Safety: Flexible Pressure Systems for Hazardous Zones
Managing flammable, toxic, or volatile substances requires precise atmospheric control. TLS offers fully integrated, flexible pressure systems tailored to specific application risk scenarios:

• Positive Pressure Systems: These are ideal for preventing the ingress of external hazardous gases. By maintaining a clean internal atmosphere, they are perfect for sensitive operations like chemical analysis and instrumentation labs.
• Negative Pressure Systems: These systems are designed to contain internal contaminants. They are suitable for processes involving toxic gas handling, hazardous material processing, or high-risk pathogen-related applications.

Crucially, both systems feature comprehensive safety integration, including gas detection, over/under pressure protection, emergency ventilation, and linked alarm systems to protect both personnel and valuable equipment.

Plug-and-Play Deployment: Accelerating Project Timelines
Time is money in the energy sector. TLS modular lab containers are designed for rapid project integration, minimizing costly commissioning time offshore:

• Pre-Installed & Tested: Units are fully wired, fitted, and tested at TLS's factory before delivery.
• Quick Commissioning: The unit is ready for immediate use simply by connecting it to the platform’s power supply, enabling true Plug-and-Play deployment.
• Customizable Functionality: Whether for mud logging, quality control, or materials testing, the internal layout is customized to the client's workflow. Features can include specialized lab benches, fume hoods, chemical storage, lighting, and integrated HVAC/ducting, all optimized for limited offshore space.

Global Compliance: Your DNV-Certified Offshore Partner
Compliance is non-negotiable for international offshore deployment. TLS provides peace of mind through rigorous adherence to global standards:

• Full Certification: Every TLS offshore laboratory container complies with critical international regulations, including DNV 2.7-1 and IEC 60079 (Ex-rating for hazardous zones).
• Audit Confidence: Third-party certifications from bodies like BV and ABS are available upon request. TLS provides full documentation and compliance support to ensure you pass project audits and inspections with confidence.

Conclusion: Precision, Safety, Efficiency—Without Compromise
As global energy projects become more specialized and venture into more extreme territories (North Sea, Asia-Pacific, South America), the need for deployable, dependable scientific support grows.

TLS delivers more than just physical infrastructure; we provide a complete, certified offshore laboratory solution focused on real-world operational safety and performance. Choose TLS to enable your offshore lab operations without compromise.
