This Makes a Methane Stripping Plant Appear to be Quite Dangerous then?
We apologise if we have given that impression. We would like to emphasise that Methane Stripping Plants are not dangerous when the legal requirements which apply throughout the European Union which require all owners/employers to comply with the ATEX Directive, are met. Application of the ATEX Directive will ensure that procedures are in place which identify the risks, ensure that the risks are marked, and ensure that all personnel are adequately trained in the risks. (The choice of the equipment chosen is also covered by ATEX to ensure that the equipment in contact with the methane gas will not cause an explosion or fire.) After all is considered, a methane stripping plant installation which is properly designed, operated and maintained contains a lower explosion risk material than any petrol station. Petrol stations are safe to use because we all know and appreciate the risks, and we certainly don’t smoke!
