Case Study: ATEX-Rated Safety Showers for a Hazardous Chemical Processing Plant
A leading European chemical processing facility recently approached Aqua Safety Showers with a critical challenge. The site handled volatile solvents within a Zone 1 hazardous area, meaning any equipment installed had to be fully compliant with ATEX directives and safe for use in explosive atmospheres. Their existing emergency showers were outdated, prone to corrosion, and unable to maintain a consistent tepid water supply—creating both safety and compliance concerns during routine inspections.
Aqua Safety Showers conducted a detailed site assessment and recommended the installation of an ATEX-rated, tank-fed emergency safety showers with integrated eyebath. The unit featured a 1500-litre insulated tank to ensure an uninterrupted supply of tepid water for the required 15-minute flush period, while a stainless-steel frame and pipework offered superior strength and is corrosion resistant to most chemicals.
To ensure compliance and visibility in a hazardous zone, Aqua Safety Showers fitted an alarm and beacon system that activate immediately when the shower is operated, alerting control room staff within seconds. The unit is supplied with a full test and conformity certificate and ATEX certificate before dispatch and comes with a minimum of 12month warranty.
Following the installation, the facility reported a significant improvement in emergency readiness. Maintenance requirements dropped as the water temperature and water level can be clearly seen for reporting purposes and the highly visible testing lever easily available for the weekly testing.
Safety audits highlighted the enhanced compliance, and the customer has since standardised Aqua Safety Showers across additional process lines.
