Oil Refinery Industrial Routers: Explosion-Proof Connectivity for Extreme Refining Environments
In the oil refining industry, high temperatures, flammable gases, severe vibration, and oil mist are critical to daily operations. A stable and secure industrial network is more than just a tool; it's essential to ensuring production continuity, equipment safety, and operational efficiency. Traditional commercial routers can fail in these harsh conditions, causing costly downtime, data breaches, and even safety hazards.
Our oil refinery industrial routers are designed for your most demanding conditions. Compliant with global refining standards, they provide unbreakable connectivity, explosion-proof performance, and long-term durability, ensuring smooth 24/7 operation at your refinery.
Key Advantages: Designed for Refining Challenges
1. Explosion-Proof and Extreme Environment Compatibility
Global Safety Certifications: ATEX Zone 2/22 and IECEx Ex nA IIC T4 Ga certifications eliminate fire and explosion risks in areas with flammable gases and vapors (critical for crude oil distillation and catalytic cracking units). Weatherproof: IP67 dust/waterproof rating, -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F) operating temperature range, and oil corrosion resistance make it suitable for oil depots, offshore platforms, and outdoor pipeline sites.
Vibration/Shock Resistance: Compliant with IEC 60068-2-6 (vibration) and IEC 60068-2-27 (shock) standards, ensuring stable operation even in vibrating equipment or pipeline monitoring stations.
Wide Voltage Input: 12-48V DC adaptability makes it ideal for refineries with unstable power supplies.
2. Redundant, Real-Time Connection for Critical Data
Multiple Network Backup: Supports 4G LTE/5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically switching to a backup link in the event of a primary network failure (no downtime for DCS, PLC, or SCADA systems).
Industrial-Grade Speed: Utilizing Qualcomm industrial chipsets, it offers low latency (<50ms) and high throughput, seamlessly transmitting sensor data (temperature, pressure, and level) to the control center. Protocol Compatibility: Compatible with PROFINET, Modbus, and DNP3 – Integrates instantly with your existing refinery automation setup (no expensive system overhaul required).
3. Enterprise-Grade Security for Critical Infrastructure
Cyber Threat Protection: Built-in industrial firewall (stateful inspection) + VPN encryption (IPsec/L2TP/OpenVPN) – Protects sensitive data (production parameters, equipment status) from hacker attacks.
Access Control: 802.1X authentication and role-based permissions – Only authorized teams can manage the router or access network resources.
Continuous Updates: Regular firmware patches and security upgrades – Provide continuous protection against evolving network risks.
4. Remote Management, Low Total Cost of Ownership
Cloud Monitoring: MQTT/SNMP-compatible platform – Remotely configure, troubleshoot, and monitor the router (reducing on-site maintenance costs by 60%).
Proactive Alerts: SMS/email notifications for network anomalies or power failures – Resolve issues before they impact production.
Long Lifespan: Average 5-year durability (twice as long as commercial routers) – Minimizes replacement costs and total cost of ownership.
