WHO WE WORK WITH
ATEX environments are found wherever flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust are present. Here are the industries where specialist ATEX cleaning is not just recommended — it’s a legal requirement.
Production facilities handling combustible materials, flammable solvents or volatile substances — where dust and vapour build-up creates ongoing ATEX zones requiring regular compliant cleaning.
Facilities handling flammable chemicals, reactive solvents and pharmaceutical compounds where any ignition source — including cleaning equipment — must be ATEX certified.
Engineering facilities and automotive sites where fuels, oils and solvents are present — creating potentially explosive atmospheres that require specialist ATEX compliant cleaning methods.
Food processing plants where combustible dust from flour, sugar, starch and dried ingredients creates ATEX zones — making specialist cleaning essential for compliance and fire prevention.
Oil, gas and energy facilities where highly flammable substances demand the strictest ATEX compliant cleaning standards — non-negotiable for both safety and regulatory compliance.
Agricultural storage and processing facilities where grain dust, hay and organic material create explosive dust clouds — requiring ATEX certified cleaning to maintain safe working conditions.
