A Mobile Pump?

If the first picture that pops into your head is that of a diesel-powered, generator-type unit, then fine; there will always be a need – but aside from diesel not striking the right environmental chords, what if your mobile pump has to meet

the demands of ATEX?

Chalwyn valves and Spark Arrestors certainly do their job to meet Health & Safety requirements, but they do not, for example, control surface temperatures in the T4 range of 135°C. Such are the rigorous and sometimes complicated demands of ATEX that it is not uncommon for pump users to position control panels away from the ATEX area in order to comply with the regulation. Not the end of the world, but hardly what you’d call convenient.

For an increasing number in industry though, that first picture of a mobile pump is beginning to change instead to that of one with an electric-drive.

“I think there’s still some lack of awareness that ATEX-approved electric-drive mobile pumps are available”, said David Brown, Managing Director of Borger.

“There must be”, he added, “because I’m quite shocked to see non-ATEX units still in use at some petrochemical sites”.

 ‘Electric-driven mobile pumps leave costly diesel units lagging way behind’

Borger sells mobile pumps that are diesel as well as electric, so Brown is keen to stress that he’s not on an anti-diesel crusade. Where needs must, especially for emergency use where no power supply is available, there are no end of Borger pumps in operation, including, for example, in the Republic of Ireland, where they are used to combat flooding. However, believes Brown, where mains power is available, electric-driven mobile pumps – lighter, far less cumbersome and so much better for the environment – leave costly (storage, transportation, labour) diesel units lagging way behind,

“Diesel usually has to be bought in bulk too”, continued Brown, “and there’s the time involved of having to keep topping up a diesel mobile pump - plus the fact that such a large amount of fuel is used. But in a potentially explosive environment, an ATEX-approved mobile pump is a must. Just recently for a petrochemical company, we built a customized ATEX-compliant mobile pump for transfer operations and removal of residues from storage tanks in an Ex zone 2 of their refinery”.

Brown explained how in order to be able to use the pump everywhere on the rough refinery premises, the mobile unit (including the drive) is mounted on a base-frame equipped with fork-lift openings and crane lifting eyes. A telescopic loader or a crane transports the pump to its respective application site. The fluids are often polluted with organic solids, so a filter system is in place to separate them out. Without hardly any pulsation, tri-lobe screw rotors pump the medium, with only the lobe tips of the rotors needing replacement in case of wear. 

“The unit is operated from a fully ATEX-compliant control cabinet on the actual mobile unit”, says Brown. “This makes everything so much more convenient for the operator. If defined pressures or temperatures are exceeded, the pump switches off automatically. And in order to protect against uncontrolled pressure surges, the mobile pump is equipped with a Variocap and a bypass with rupture disks. Knowing that everything is ATEX-compliant provides great peace of mind”.

Borger has also recently supplied mobile pumps for a mineral oil company’s refinery. The entire pump unit, including the pump itself, the drive and the control technology had to be manufactured in ATEX-compliant design. For flexible use on the premises, the mineral oil company need to convey changing media and use the mobile pumps for "pigging" the pipelines – on the basis that the highest degree of safety would be met for the potentially explosive atmospheres.

‘Moved through narrow aisles for transfer operations’

‘Mobile’ is self-explanatory of course, so there is no end to the number of uses of a mobile pump. A world away from the strict ATEX requirements at refineries, mobile pumps from Borger are also in use at……….. French vineyards. Custom-built, the stainless-steel pumps are moved through narrow aisles for transfer operations, with the wine producers able to set the required flow rate very easily via the control unit. Screw rotors convey the wine with low pulsation so that it does not foam up – whilst temperature sensors in the pump’s cover and pressure sensors in the suction and pressure lines ensure the highest level of safety and quality. The pump can be operated via the Borger control unit or the supplied remote control.

David Brown concluded: “Diesel-powered mobile pumps will always have an important role to play. But from refineries with their strict ATEX requirements - to vineyards – and for all types of applications, electric-driven, plug-in-and-play mobile pumps offer big advantages. For being lighter, far more cost-effective, safer and so much better on the environment, they are an attractive investment – and a very good hire option too”.

With the increasing interconnection of systems, devices, and sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT), the need for mobile solutions is growing. More and more manufacturers are recognizing the potential and benefits of mobile computing and communication technologies. Android has emerged as the preferred and most advanced operating system for the IoT of the future. Companies that guarantee their customers maximum security and up-to-date devices with first-class support can be certified by Google for its Android Enterprise Partner Program. With the acquisition of the Silver Partnership in 2023, Pepperl+Fuchs is among the very few companies worldwide that have acquired Google's highest certification: not only for the company, but also for its consultants and products.

As part of the Android Enterprise Partner Program (AEPP), Google partners with companies that optimize their solutions for the management, deployment, and support of Android devices in business environments at a high level. Validated partners receive access to Google resources, tools, and support to better integrate and support Android devices in the enterprise. The program includes various certifications and categories corresponding to the specialization and solutions offered by each partner. These include, for example, mobile device management providers, hardware manufacturers, software developers, and system integrators.

Three Pillars of Certification

The certification for the Android Enterprise Partner Program comprises three pillars that build on each other. The employees of a company, the company itself and its products are certified. For the individual certifications, the global sales teams and application engineers must complete a predefined training program and confirm the respective certificates with an examination. This certificate consists of three levels: Associate, Expert and Professional. Employees who achieve the certification can call themselves Android Enterprise Associate, Expert or Professional. The training courses cover the entire range of Android-related topics, including mobile device management and security.

Silver Award

Companies may get certified only if the expertise of their employees qualifies them to do so. In order to achieve Silver Partner status, companies seeking certification must have a certain percentage of employee certifications in the various expert groups in each active market. Pepperl+Fuchs has achieved this on a global scale and has been a Silver Partner of the Android Enterprise Partner Program since 2023. This means that the pioneer and technology leader in industrial sensor technology and explosion protection fulfills Android's increased requirements in terms of business, products, service, and performance, allowing customers to benefit from numerous advantages.

"We are pleased to welcome Pepperl+Fuchs as a Silver Partner in the Android Enterprise Partner Program," says Ken Schutt, Director of Android Enterprise Partnerships. "By joining the Silver Partner Program, Pepperl+Fuchs demonstrates its commitment to its customers and guarantees that they will receive world-class customer service, support and solutions to help them grow their business."

Third Pillar: Hardware

The third pillar of the certification program relates to the Silver Partner's Android products. The certification of products is part of the Android Enterprise Recommended program. Google verifies the hardware and software of the robust mobile devices based on defined requirements and parameters, e. g. suitability for use in an industrial environment, guaranteed 90-day security updates for at least five years after the start of sales, and further commitments by the manufacturer to at least one OS upgrade, in order to guarantee Google's professional users a comprehensive service package.

The intrinsically safe smartphone Smart-Ex® 03 from Pepperl+Fuchs, as well as other product series such as Tab-Ex® 03 and Tab-Ex® 04 Pro, has received Android Enterprise Recommended certification and forms the basis for future-oriented digital application scenarios in potentially explosive atmospheres.

With the successful certification, Pepperl+Fuchs is listed in the Android Enterprise Solutions Directory as a "Device Manufacturer". All validated companies can be found there, categorized as "Devices, EMM, Device Manufacturer and Mobility Consulting Service".

Huge Work and Time Savings

Android tools facilitate the secure, professional use of mobile devices in an industrial environment. Customers can request the required configuration of the basic device from the device manufacturer, who will pre-load the devices in production and then provide the appropriate pre-configuration to the customer. The mobile devices can be integrated into the IT infrastructure manually via Android Zero Touch or a QR code. This way, all new devices are integrated into the customer's MDM system with their IMEI and can then be managed and updated over the air.

The profiles that are uploaded to the mobile device are largely drag-and-drop. The advantage of certification is that the manufacturer can individually respond to customers' wishes and requirements. They do not have to adapt the mobile devices themselves in their IT department. Pepperl+Fuchs discusses the requirements, scope, and type of installation and usage rights with the IT department. The customer can issue the devices directly to the employees for immediate use. This makes work much easier and saves a lot of time. Another advantage is the comprehensive after-sales support.

Many Parts for a Great Whole

"Behind the Google certification for people, companies and products is a holistic, coherent concept in which the individual processes interlock like pieces of a puzzle and one fits into the other," says Jörg Hartleb, Head of Product Management at ECOM – A Pepperl+Fuchs Brand. "By certifying the hardware and the company to the highest standards in conjunction with professional staff training, we offer our customers first-class support and service during the initial installation of the mobile devices, as well as during use."

Pepperl+Fuchs has a total of over 60 sales employees in the APAC, EMEA, North and South America regions who have reached Google Associate level. Differences can be seen in everyday life. This is where Pepperl+Fuchs scores with its global expertise. With its own well-staffed support and service network, the company meets all the requirements of a Trusted Advisor.

Wearing a hard hat is mandatory in many applications and industries, protecting the safety of individuals in potentially hazardous environments. However, wearing PPE can be seen by users as a hindrance rather than an important safety feature for their workday.

This is typically the learned experience of industrial professionals who’ve found, at times, that some hard hats can bring on headaches, make them hot and sweaty, or often don’t fit properly. At MSA Safety, we believe that the most effective hard hat is the one a worker will want to wear.

A more comfortable helmet can not only empower workers, but it could also make them feel safer, happier, improve productivity and even boost their confidence allowing them to better focus on the job at hand.

To understand what makes a great hard hat, we need to dissect some key issues associated with common protective headwear solutions on the market today and find out what exactly is deterring users from wearing this vital piece of protective equipment correctly. Here, we outline some of the most common factors which could hinder correct usage of hard hats on site, and how selecting the appropriate hard hat can help to reduce this.

Temperature regulation

From construction professionals operating outside in the scorching heat to mechanical specialists contracted to conduct works in boiler rooms, many industrial workers find themselves carrying out demanding jobs in incredibly warm environments. The combination of heat and physical exertion can make wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) extremely uncomfortable if the appropriate hard hat has not been selected for the workers.

Hard hats can be warm, trap sweat and perspiration can make them fog. To help reduce this, helmets with ventilation should be opted for, these helmets can also be adapted to improve comfort. Sweatbands made from a soft, sweat-absorbing, and respiring material can be incorporated, washed and replaced.

Equally, wearing hard hats can be just as uncomfortable for workers operating during winter months or in colder environments. Similarly, accessories can be incorporated to aid comfort. Winter liners, for example, can assist with temperature regulation, helping to protect workers from the cold and keep them warmer. In addition, for those working outdoors, helmets with integrated rain gutters may be more practical for workers, ensuring water drains off the bill rather than down the wearer’s neck.

The type of environment your workers are operating in is an essential factor to consider when choosing the appropriate hard hat for your workers.

All day comfort

If protective hard hats don’t have a good fit and appropriate straps to keep them in place, they can slip, slide and move around becoming a distraction for workers.

Understandably, this can be a top factor which contributes to workers not wearing their hard hat when it’s needed. Indeed, if a helmet slips down then vision may be impaired and if it needs to be adjusted at critical moments then potentially dangerous tools may not be under a worker’s full control.

Thankfully, there are ways to solve this problem and keep hard hats firmly in place. A six-point ratchet textile suspension will contribute to comfort, enabling the helmets to be adjusted to fit a range of head sizes and genders, thus providing an inclusive and secure fit. This will minimise rattling and slippage, even when users are repeatedly looking around. Equally, a four-point textile chinstrap will also help to reinforce the retention of the helmet on your head.

While comfort, at least in part, stems from temperature regulation and fit, the actual feel of the helmet against your head is also crucial.

For this reason, soft textile straps and good suspension is invaluable. However, an effective hard hat should also prevent hair pulling, compression headaches, facilitate good airflow, and feature a quality ratchet system for quick, smooth and reliable adjustments.

Appropriate for work applications

Ultimately, hard hats become an extension of your head during the workday. And, in cases of confined or restrained spaces smaller equipment is often more practical. In these applications users can look to acquire models that have a modern dynamic design with a low-profile, compact, sports-styled shell without protruding peaks.

Of course, the solution depends on the application. Short peak or peak-less safety helmets can be better for workers requiring good upwards visibility, yet standard peaks are better for protecting your eyes from the sun. In addition, non-vented shells should always be used in environments where chemicals or hot liquids may be projected.

In this instance, it’s also important to consider the accessories that are appropriate for certain applications, movements and tasks. If it is hard to tweak the sizes and straps, then any additional features will add little value and may go unused. For this reason, it is important that users can easily adjust the size of their hard hat for a secure fit, even while wearing safety gloves.

Aesthetics

Finally, it is not just a case of what a helmet feels like, but what they look like too. People like to look their best in their personal lives and often at work too. This acceptance of the protective headwear can equate to the worker taking better care of their equipment - which can extend the lifespan of each model and make product investments go further.

When considering aesthetics, a safety helmet that has a modern, low-profile sporty design is likely to be more desirable than larger, chunkier alternatives. However, you should always look to prioritise the level of protection - because safety should never be compromised for style.

How to choose the right hard hat for you

There are a diverse range of factors to consider from suspension, soft textile materials, vented or non-vented models, to heat regulation accessories, size and aesthetics.

Appropriately selecting the model and relevant accessories could provide many benefits. Not only can the right hard hat help to improve the safety of your staff, but it can also aid in increased confidence, contribute to a happier workforce, and boost productivity by enabling workers to work more efficiently.
