Drilling and conveying safely without the risk of fire

Efficient, safe and environmentally-friendly extraction is incredibly important in the oil and gas industry. Of course, it involves dealing with combustible gases, liquids and vapours which go hand in hand with increased fire risk. This sets exacting standards for electrical safety, not only with respect to the production process. Pumps, conveyor belts and all drives are safely monitored by Bender RCMS residual current monitoring systems or ISOMETER®s. Ground-fault location devices are the right choice in order to solve problems quickly and efficiently.

In the separation facilities, which separate the raw material extracted into oil and gas, pumps with variable pressures which are controlled by frequency converters are often used. Although these frequency converters are very energy-saving to use, they also produce DC currents and harmonic vibrations which cannot be detected by normal fault current monitoring devices. The Bender systems offer reliable monitoring of these systems.
