Solutions the Energy Industry - Explosion proof cameras in Power Plants
Safety in Energy Production
SAMCON provides innovative safety solutions for coal, wind, hydro and biogas power plants. Our explosion proof cameras for energy facilities and hazardous area lighting systems for fermenters, silos and other sensitive zones are designed to maximize safety in demanding environments without compromising performance. ATEX certified camera systems for power plants, IEC-Ex CCTV solutions for hazardous areas and Class I Division 1 and 2 cameras (in progress) for international markets ensure reliable monitoring under the harshest operating conditions.
Applications in Power Generation
Explosion proof cameras play a key role in monitoring critical processes such as fermenter levels, flue gas cleaning systems and combined heat and power units. Hazardous area CCTV installations are integrated into SCADA and PLC systems for continuous condition monitoring and visual inspection of open bulk material silos or feed hoppers. Stainless steel enclosures with IP66 and IP68 protection provide corrosion resistance and durability, even in aggressive environments with ammonia or sulfur compounds.
In biogas plants, Ex cameras allow operators to monitor fermenter levels and detect process disturbances directly from the control room via sight glass flanges. Thermographic cameras provide temperature monitoring in combined heat and power units, enabling early detection of leaks, hot spots or insulation problems in engines and heat exchangers. Miniature Ex cameras are used in confined spaces such as piping ducts, feed chutes or underground cable shafts, providing flexible integration into complex plant layouts.
In waste-to-energy facilities, explosion proof cameras monitor flue gas cleaning systems, giving operators visual feedback on operating conditions, contamination or nozzle blockages. In hydroelectric plants, Ex cameras provide process visualization and condition monitoring for trash racks, turbine shafts and emergency shutoff gates. Outdoor cameras with stainless steel housings ensure long-term resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, guaranteeing continuous operation in harsh weather conditions.
Why SAMCON?
SAMCON delivers explosion proof camera and lighting solutions for all areas of energy production. Certified according to ATEX in Europe, IECEx in Asia and the Middle East, Class I Division 1 and 2 in North America (in progress), and additional approvals such as INMETRO, PESO, EAC-Ex, UKEX and MASC, our systems are globally compliant and ready for use in hazardous energy environments. With robust housings, wide operating temperature ranges and easy integration into control systems, SAMCON provides operators with reliable monitoring technology that enhances safety, ensures compliance and improves efficiency in power generation facilities.
SAMCON solutions support operators in coal, wind, hydro and biogas power plants by reducing operational risks, safeguarding assets and personnel and ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable energy production.
