Success at Conoco Phillips

Conoco Phillips at Seal Sands have just ordered via EI-WHS Ltd and EMS Middlesborough a substantial amount of STAHL hazardous area electrical equipment for their stabilisation trains project.
The scope includes R Stahl 8146 type EExe distribution boards, EExe fluorescent lighting, EExe Sockets and plugs, EExe tank inspection fittings and some EExe high pressure sodium fittings.

A substantial order for R Stahl ltd and one we feel grateful to have secured and I would especially like to thank all those involved, as it did involve many in our team. I feel, of course, a large advantage for R Stahl ltd has been the fact that we still engineer and assemble in Birmingham. A major advantage for us and our customers and one we shall fight to retain.

A very nice order as the year comes to a close, which reminds me we now have only 4 weeks until Xmas, we need at least another 12 weeks to get all the customers orders out of the factory before we take a well earned break!

If you wish to know more about this project or any of our products - just ask

Illuminating Ideas

Having just returned from a long trip to HQ, in Waldenburg Germany. I thought I would mention a rather exciting new product that has just been released.
Developed in conjunction with Diageo, it is currently used exclusively in the Whisky and Whiskey industries ( I know my stuff!) for illuminating exit routes and passage ways between the maturation racks.
The led units either 24v or 48 v ac/dc and connected to a power source via a ASI type cable. Run your cable and then connect your LED fittings wherever you prefer on the cable. All suitable for a Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 environment. Great!
Further to this we have also received our first non Whiskey / whisky related order. This time for a petrochem plant operated by BP. In this instance the product is providing lighting for some rather large columns on site.

So, I am thinking, is there more to this product than just hazardous area industrial type applications? As well as being explosion proof, tough and durable this small but powerful light fitting is also rather unique. Quick and easy to install, possibly ideal for bridges, towers or any large structure.

Any Architects out there interested in seeing this product ?

By the way the trip to Germany was long and arduous because of the flying. Flying used to be fun and rather exciting, now just another grind. My feet seemed to be the main concern this time at Frankfurt airport? Twice my feet were subject to the magic bleeping wand as I made my way to the departure gate and twice my shoes had to go through the scanning thing. All the more horrendous because I had forgotten my clean pair of socks as I packed to leave home so those on my feet had been turned inside out and were well past their best.
Euro Star to Stuttgart please, that would better!

Starting out!

This is a my first attempt at a blog so I'll keep it short.

Explosion protection is my job. Representing R Stahl here in the UK but visible through this blog to the world. Currently the UK market place is incredibly busy and the reason for this blog is to tell you what we are doing, how we are doing and obtain some feedback from our audience and maybe encourage some debate about our products and the industry in general.

So if you have some questions or queries about explosion protection, R Stahl or the writer (blogger?!) then just ask.

What do we do - well - we design, manufacture and sell equipment safe to use in potentially explosive atmospheres. I.e for Oil Rigs, petro chem plants, pharmaceutical plants ...... virtually any environment where a potentially explosive atmosphere is present.

Due to the demand for oil related products we are currently very busy not just in our home market here in the UK but globally through the engineering and export houses we deal with here in the UK.

Many new products are available to the market place from R Stahl including,

EExd aluminium and stainless steel enclosures

Zone II LED light units ideal for confined spaces or illuminating exit routes

Field bus technolgy products

Thats it for now
