I.S. SIL3 2-Wire HART® Transmitter Power Supply
Chemical plants are highly complex and differentiated.
They operate under strict requirements for safety, modularity, and flexibility, even in extreme operating conditions.
To ensure these requirements, G.M. International provides certified safety and interface devices based on internationally recognized technologies. The company supports a wide range of industrial applications and processes, including emergency shutdown systems, fire and gas detection, process automation, dosing control, and resource management.
Chemical operations are governed by strict technical and regulatory constraints to ensure safe, reliable, and continuous production in environments where flammable, toxic, or explosive substances may be present.
These conditions require precise process control and robust safety systems to prevent incidents and maintain stable operation across both continuous and batch processes.
International standards such as ATEX and IEC frameworks impose strict requirements on plant design, equipment selection, and operational safety, demanding certified and reliable technologies capable of performing in hazardous industrial environments. In this context, safety requirements focus on ensuring risk prevention, operational integrity, and system reliability across all stages of chemical production.
In this context, key safety principles include:
Regulatory compliance
Explosion protection
Functional Safety
Signal integrity
Redundancy concept
The chemical industry is a cornerstone of global manufacturing, covering the production of basic raw materials such as solvents, polymers, and fertilizers, as well as high-value products used in sectors like energy, pharmaceuticals, and food. These processes rely on both continuous and batch operations, where precise control of variables such as temperature, pressure, and chemical concentration is essential.
Within this context, safety and process integrity are critical. Many applications involve flammable, toxic, or explosive substances, making reliable protection and control systems essential to prevent incidents and ensure stable operation in accordance with international standards such as ATEX and IEC requirements.
Typical application areas include:
• Process control systems for continuous and batch chemical production.
• Reactor and mixing systems requiring precise monitoring of temperature, pressure, and reaction conditions.
• Storage and tank farm installations with level monitoring and hazardous area protection.
• Dosing and metering systems for controlled and accurate chemical handling
• Emergency shutdown systems ensure safe response during abnormal operating conditions.
These applications increasingly rely on integrated automation platforms such as DCS and SCADA systems, enabling more efficient, predictive, and remotely managed plant operations. However, this also increases system complexity and reinforces the need for robust, reliable, and certified safety components.
In this environment, technologies such as intrinsic safety, functional safety systems, and galvanic isolation play a key role in ensuring operational continuity, reducing risk, and maintaining compliance in critical chemical processes.
GMI manufactures products for a wide range of applications and processes that include emergency stops, fire and gas leak detection, automation systems, dosage control, and resource management.
In these scenarios, G.M. International offers fail-safe devices for reliable operation, certified by third-party bodies to specific standards.
G.M. International offers certified products to protect resources, facilities, and infrastructure in hazardous areas of oil and gas applications. To maintain suitable safety standards, G.M. International intrinsically safe devices ensure high levels of reliability, as well as resistance to heat, cold, humidity and vibration, minimizing maintenance requirements.
G.M. International products, especially those with ATEX certification, are also designed for the food industry, providing intrinsically safe solutions in areas with explosion hazards due to the presence of both gas and conductive dust.
G.M. International barriers and interfaces, already present in conventional and renewable power generation systems, are useful in protecting electrolysers, fuel cells, drives, presses, handling systems, and control, regulation, and measurement systems throughout the hydrogen chain.
G.M. International solutions for the energy chain, renewables and electrical measurement include safety, signal, and fieldbus interfaces (e.g., Hart, Modbus). This set of solutions is perfectly suited for automation systems for substations, switchboards, and power plants, reducing start-up, operation, and maintenance costs.
G.M. International intrinsically safe devices and signal interfaces help to create a protected working environment for data collection and analysis. G.M. International remote terminals can also be deployed in the hazardous area, allowing direct interfacing with the process.
G.M. International offers certified products that are resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks and extreme natural events (earthquakes, floods, etc.). Our isolation devices simulate real operating conditions, support maintenance activities, and meet the most stringent environmental and safety requirements.
Our safety devices are ATEX and EN IEC 61508 functional safety requirements compliant and provide a safe solution to customers in the Pharma industry for every type of implementation.
