Continuous modernization of the industry is crucial in order to maintain the adequate supply of upstream and downstream oil products for worldwide consumption. Future proof automation and data communications within the sector is pivotal in improving operational efficiency and safety. Rugged equipment such as Westermo’s Ethernet Switches for oil and gas play a big role in refineries, chemical plants, offshore and onshore...

Certified to operate in extreme environments Certified to operate in marine environments Maritime facilities are known for their harsh environments. Brutal offshore climate and weather conditions are factors which underscore the importance of making sure that products used for operation are robust enough to withstand these persistent conditions over longer periods. Existing oil platforms, rigs and pipelines are being upgraded and modernized to the highest standards. Only specified and tested products may be used for certain networks on an offshore facility. An approval issued by Den Norske...

Certified to operate in extreme environments Certified to operate in explosive environments Personnel in the oil and gas industry frequently operate in hazardous environments that are highly infused with inflammable components. Explosive atmospheres can be caused by gases, mists, vapours or by combustible dusts. With a certain level of concentration of these substances, a source of ignition may be all that is needed to cause a disastrous explosion. The ramifications are both loss of life and destruction of material. Preventing releases of hazardous substances which can be the cause of...

Product range developed for the environments of the oil and gas industy Designed to meet the harsh requirements of the oil and gas industry Thermal management Heat management is an important tool used by many of Westermo’s products in increasing heat dissipation and maintaining an acceptable temperature level. This helps to optimize operational efficiency in extreme and fluctuating temperatures. Here are a number of Westermo features which help manage assailing temperatures: …… Low power consumption. …… High heat dissipation. This is possible with the application of industrial paste between...

Security The risk of intrusion is omnipresent and many of the recent cyber attacks which have targeted international oil facilities have been very destructive and in some cases pushed oil production to a grinding halt for months. …… DMZ (DeMilitarised Zone) security structures to be created. …… Interface based firewalls: Ports or groups of ports can be divided and firewalls constructed between them. Effective dust protection Westermo offers solutions and products which are certified at ingress levels ranging from IP40 to IP65. These ingress levels are generally higher than those offered by...
