R Stahl South Africa (Pty) Ltd

AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THE INDUSTRIES:
OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY -:
Oil and gas are extracted under incredibly harsh conditions, both onshore and offshore. R. STAHL supplies premium-quality products and systems, which are able to withstand the hottest, coldest and wettest environments, as well as extreme vibration and shocks. This is made possible by our experts, who provide the safest and most efficient solution for any scenario, be it for extraction in the desert or in the Arctic, for transportation across rough seas or for processing in a refinery.

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY-:
In the chemical industry, equipment must be able to retain its full functionality even in conditions where, functioning of human resource is difficult or impossible. This could mean presence of any/some of these conditions: high pressure, extreme temperatures or inhospitable atmospheres.
R. STAHL is an international market leader in explosion protection for these kinds of conditions, and hence we offer the best service from the conception to the prototype stage, and right through to the international certification of system solutions and electrical and automated systems. And thanks to our delivery and customer care services, we guarantee to find a quick yet hassle-free solution to any problem, even while your systems are operating.

LNG MEETS EXPLOSION PROTECTION ON THE PATH TO CLIMATE-NEUTRAL ENERGY SUPPLY-:
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the key energy source in the medium-term on the way to carbon neutrality. LNG is natural gas that liquefies as it deep-cools to -162 °C and thereby shrinks to 1/600 of its original gaseous volume. This enables the natural gas to be stored or transported over long distances by ship or lorry.

One main advantage of LNG is its high availability at competitive prices. But even more important are its incredible benefits when it comes to the environment. Compared to crude oil and coal, the harmful emissions generated during combustion of LNG are significantly lower. For this and many other reasons, LNG is becoming more and more attractive. Already in use to generate electricity, this energy source is also considered a future fuel source for ships, lorries and cars.

Since renewable energy sources are not yet available in sufficient quantities and at affordable prices, LNG is the interim solution on the way to clean, CO2-neutral energy. However, the extracted, liquefied natural gas is highly flammable. As a result, explosion protection must be guaranteed across the entire value creation chain. As a pioneering technology company with global explosion protection expertise, R. STAHL supports this sector with explosion-protected products and systems for all process steps from natural gas extraction to liquefaction and transport, all the way through to reconversion and supply.

MARINE AND SHIPBUILDING-:
When working in tough offshore environments and on the open seas, reliability and durability are the key when it comes to ensuring that a high level of safety is maintained in the long term. This is why our products for use in marine environments are optimally protected against shocks and corrosion caused by salt water spray, standing salt water, crude oil and solvents.

Our global presence makes us the ideal partner for your ocean-based enterprises: Not only can our experts devise fool-proof solutions that meet any requirements you may have, they also comply with all the relevant regulations. In 2014, we received our first IECEx-certified FPSO order, for which we were commissioned to equip ships with floating production, storage and offloading units in the Gulf of Mexico with explosion-protected components.

PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY-:
In the current scenario, pharmaceutical companies are not only conducting research into new active ingredients, but they also try to implement and optimize existing processes in many countries across the globe, ensuring that these processes comply with all the applicable regulations. It goes without saying that, besides considerations of product quality and purity, system safety is also of utmost importance here.

R. STAHL components have been developed for environments specific to the pharmaceutical industry such as clean rooms. They satisfy even the most stringent safety and hygiene requirements, and also have ATEX and IECEx certification for Zones 1 and 2, as well as NEC certification for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2.

MACHINE BUILDING-:
Wherever a system is eventually to be located and whichever industry it is destined for, when you are building equipment for hazardous areas, you need high-quality and reliable components that will stand the test of time to provide consistently high levels of safety, irrespective of the environmental conditions or local legislation.

With exactly this in mind, R. STAHL's versatile Ex components provide sophisticated protection against explosions caused by dust, gas and vapour. They are uniquely resistant to all environmental influences, boast international certifications and are both extraordinarily efficient and futuristic.

OTHER INDUSTRIES-:
Even in the event of excess pressure, our Ex components and systems are protected against the ingress of dust and water and support all types of electrical protection in any industry sector. In addition, our products can be used almost anywhere in the world. They are certified and ready to be put into service. We are also members of the most important international standardisation committees, which means that we have the key to the explosion-protection technology of tomorrow, even today.

R. STAHL's product range also encompasses products for industries and fields where there are no explosion hazards. These include premium-quality operating and monitoring systems, signalling devices and automation products, for example. They can be used worldwide, and are highly efficient and durable.
