ATEX Devices Sohar – Explosion-Proof Equipment for Sohar Refinery and Industrial Port Oman
Sohar Industrial Port and Free Zone is Oman’s primary downstream industrial hub, located on the Batinah Coast approximately 200 kilometres north of Muscat. The Sohar complex houses Sohar Refinery (operated by OQ, formerly Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company), the Sohar Aluminium smelter, Sohar Fertiliser Company, the Port of Sohar’s industrial and logistics facilities, and numerous petrochemical, polymer, and industrial chemical production units. Across this concentration of flammable material handling operations, ATEX certified devices are required for all field personnel working in Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified hazardous areas.
OQ’s Sohar Refinery, with a processing capacity of approximately 116,000 barrels per day of Oman Blend crude, produces a range of refined products including gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil, and LPG. The refinery’s process units include crude distillation, vacuum distillation, hydrotreating, reforming, and merox treating — each creating Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas across their process plant and associated utility systems. ATEX certified mobile phones for Sohar Refinery operations must carry Group IIA/IIB/IIC certification (to cover the full range of hydrocarbons and hydrogen from reforming/hydrotreating operations) and IP68 ingress protection for refinery process environments.
OQ and Sohar Industrial Area ATEX Requirements
OQ’s downstream portfolio extends beyond Sohar Refinery to include OQ Chemicals, OQ Base Chemicals, and various polymer and specialty chemical production operations across the Sohar complex. These facilities handle ethylene, propylene, polyethylene, methanol, and other flammable chemical intermediates that create Zone 1 classified areas requiring ATEX Group IIB certification for mobile devices. Infinity-EX ATEX devices carry Group IIC certification, making them suitable across the entire range of hazardous atmospheres present in Sohar Industrial Port’s diverse chemical and petrochemical production facilities.
For procurement teams at OQ, Sohar Aluminium, Sohar Fertiliser Company, and EPC contractors working on Sohar industrial projects, Infinity-EX provides full ATEX certification documentation for vendor registration and HSE equipment approval processes. Regional availability ensures competitive pricing and 5 to 10 working day delivery for all ATEX device procurement requirements at Sohar Industrial Port and Free Zone operations.

Industrial Applications & Real-World Use Cases
In hazardous industrial environments such as oil refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, and mining operations, reliable communication is a critical safety requirement. Workers in Zone 1 and Zone 21 classified areas face constant exposure to flammable gases, vapors, and combustible dust. Any electronic device used must be intrinsically safe to prevent ignition.
Oil & Gas Operations
Field engineers on drilling rigs, well pads, and production platforms rely on ATEX certified devices for work order management, real-time communication with control rooms, digital permit-to-work systems, and photographic documentation. Our devices are deployed across ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, KOC, KNPC, ONGC, Petrobras, and Shell facilities worldwide.
Refinery & Petrochemical Safety
Process safety management requires continuous communication between operators, maintenance technicians, and HSE personnel. ATEX phones enable instant push-to-talk during turnarounds, emergency responses, and inspection rounds. Explosion-proof tablets allow viewing P&IDs and digital checklists in the field.
Offshore Platform Operations
Offshore environments present salt spray corrosion, extreme weather, and limited charging infrastructure. Our IP68-rated devices withstand these conditions while maintaining Zone 1 certification for crane coordination, emergency mustering, and helicopter manifesting.
