Frequently Asked Questions

Oil and gas upstream areas including wellheads, christmas trees, manifolds, and the drill floor of a drilling rig are typically classified Zone 1 for the immediate vicinity of potential gas release points, and Zone 2 for the surrounding area where a flammable atmosphere is unlikely to occur in normal operation but may occur under abnormal conditions. Classified area drawings for upstream facilities follow IEC 60079-10-1. AJV Tech supplies IECEx Zone 1 and Zone 2 certified lighting and ventilation equipment for all upstream area classifications.

Offshore drilling rigs require explosion proof lighting certified to IECEx and/or ATEX standards for gas-classified areas. In addition, the classification society (ABS, DNV, Lloyd's Register, or Bureau Veritas) may require type approval for lighting installed on the structure. Raytec SPARTAN LED fixtures are IECEx and ATEX certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2, and carry ABS type approval for marine and offshore applications. AJV Tech provides complete certification documentation for rig operator and classification society submittals.

Yes. AJV Tech supplies IECEx and ATEX certified explosion proof lighting (Raytec, Atexor) and ventilation (Ramfan) for ADNOC Offshore, Saudi Aramco upstream, and other GCC operator projects. Products are accepted on ADNOC and Aramco vendor lists with full IECEx and ATEX documentation. AJV Tech's UAE stock enables rapid delivery to onshore wellhead sites and supply base dispatch to offshore platforms.

Wellhead and field maintenance operations typically use Atexor IECEx certified portable lighting sets — including a step-down transformer, cable reels, and LED lighting strings — for illumination of wellhead work areas during interventions and maintenance. Western Technology BRICK portable work lights are also used for close-up inspection tasks. AJV Tech supplies both brands for upstream field maintenance applications with rapid deployment from UAE stock.

Yes. Ramfan ATEX and IECEx certified explosion proof blowers supplied by AJV Tech are used in upstream confined space operations including vessel entry, pig trap maintenance, and process equipment inspection. Ramfan portable blowers are compact and lightweight for easy transport to remote upstream locations. Complete confined space ventilation packages including blower, ducting, and certification documentation are available from AJV Tech.
