“CLOSED-LOOP EXTRACTION SYSTEM”

“capable of recovering the solvent “

  • (I.E. – Don’t open blast)
  • Regulatory definition

Solvent-Based (butane, propane, CO2) “If people use closed-loops systems they will be safe”

WHAT IS “EXPLOSION-PROOF” or EXP

Better referred to as “SPARK-PROOF” Electrical components must be able to contain an ignition without spread of flame.

  • (Switches, lights, boxes, sensors, outlets)

CLASS I, DIVISION 1 LOCATIONS

This is a location where the explosion hazard exists under normal operating conditions . The area may be hazardous all or most of the time, or it may only be hazardous some of the time.

CLASS I, DIVISION 2 LOCATIONS

This is a location where the explosion hazard has a potential to exist when something goes wrong or under abnormal conditions.
