Intercom for the Chemical Industry
Safety in
Flammable
Environments
When feedstock chemicals flow across large sites, extreme environments and noise all around, security and communication play an integral role to enhance safety and smooth workflows. Ex-proof terminals are especially developed for these types of zones where chemicals are at risk of igniting.
Bulk Chemicals Plants
Basic chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers and inorganic chemicals plants
Specialty Chemicals Plants
Agrochemicals, biochemicals and fine chemical plants
Consumer Chemicals Plants
Plants for surfactants, fragrances, emulsifiers, preservatives, colorants and solvents
Emergency Response
To prevent accidents and injuries, it is essential to implement chemical handling and emergency response procedures for storage areas, processing areas, mixing areas, reaction areas, loading and unloading areas, waste disposal areas, laboratories and more.
Life Safety
To protect lives and corporate assets in all chemical plant areas, also in areas with explosive atmospheres, well-coordinated warnings, alarms and evacuation support in emergency situations are vital.
In compliance with legal and corporate regulations, built-in early warning of emerging system problems is provided.
Physical Security
Restricting access to industrial premises or certain chemical areas to authorised personnel protects employees, assets and company information. Various industrial equipment can be monitored and controlled automatically, events logged and audio/video recorded. Thereby, the highest level of IT security is guaranteed.
Instant Communication
In a chemical plant, it is essential to provide an efficient and reliable way for employees to communicate with each other, whether they are in different areas of the plant or working in noisy or hazardous environments where traditional communication methods such as telephones or radios are not effective.
Applications for the Chemical Industry
Communicating & Warning
Communication in Explosive Zones
Intercom systems certified in accordance with ATEX, IEC Ex, CCC Ex, explosion hazard group IIC and temperature T6 withstand extreme conditions (heat/cold, water, chemicals, dust and dirt – as per IP 66).
Communicating & Warning
Operational Communication in Rough Environments
Communication is a crucial success factor in your industry when it comes to coordinating people in the production process, service, support or maintenance. This requires systems that are resistant to chemicals, harsh climates (heat/cold), water, dust and dirt. With just the push of a button, an instant, secure, fast and clear audio connection is established. This allows you to help or act as quickly as possible, increase efficiency, minimise downtime, optimise critical work processes, increase productivity and improve your service level.
Securing & Responding
Emergency & Evacuation
Trusted emergency and evacuation systems with two-way communication guarantee fast incident reaction and ensure that your workers are safe in any situation. Help and meeting points make it easy for your staff to contact the control centre and stay connected. Dynamic escape route guidance ensures a safe route for your workers to the muster/assembly point.
Communicating & Warning
Public Address
Quick and effective communication is important to keep a large group of people informed. Emergency alerts, safety instructions, event announcements, public service announcements and other types of messages can be delivered in high volume and voice quality to staff on site.
Securing
Perimeter Protection
Prevent strangers from entering your premises with perimeter protection, public address and seamless integration with video surveillance systems. This perfect team ensures that your premises are protected from any external threat, such as physical attack or theft. Intruders are tackled directly from the control room without the need for security personnel.
Access Control for Doors & Barriers
Controlled access for your employees and service providers (vehicular and pedestrian) at all entrances to your premises is guaranteed.
Communication in Clean Rooms
Intercom stations with closed-sealed and anti-bacterial membrane surface that is resistant against detergents and disinfectants provide in-house communication for hygienically sensitive areas.
Integration of Mobile Radio Communication Systems
Direct communication with any mobile radio (analogue/digital) for maintenance and emergency services is enabled.
Visitor Communication & Information
Efficient communication for gatekeepers helps to establish a welcoming and secure environment for guests and enables a smooth and efficient visitation process (e.g., visitor registration).
Control Desk Management
A centralised management system provides a clear overview of several areas and locations of your facilities as well as your employees' whereabouts. It also facilitates the support and coordination of service and maintenance teams.
Mobile Communication
The Symphony Mobile Client allows the integration of mobile devices to your Intercom solution.
