Further construction
Petrobras has announced base-oil, diesel and jet fuel units for the complex and a link with Reduc; these are plans, so work may be under construction.

ATEX and IECEx Smartphone Distributor in Itaborai Petrochemical
The Boaventura Energy Complex at Itaborai, Rio de Janeiro state, is the former Comperj petrochemical project. Original plans described two refineries and a petrochemical plant with a 2.8 billion pound per year ethylene unit, polyethylene at 960,000 t/y and polypropylene at 900,000 t/y, plus an aromatics area. An ATEX and IECEx smartphone distributor in Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.

WhereItaborai Petrochemical
Short answer. Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

More about Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) that matters for portable equipment
Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj): industry on the ground
Itaborai has been one of the fastest-growing economies in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area since the mid-2000s, linked to the chemical and petroleum industries and related construction.
Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj): industry on the ground
Comperj's refining unit has a processing capacity of 165,000 barrels of oil a day, and it was initially planned to run heavy oil from the Marlim field in the Campos Basin.
Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj): rules and approvals
Part of the 19,508 hectare Bacia do Rio Macacu protection area and the Guanabara Ecological Station lie within the municipality, so environmental permitting is a standing factor for site work.
Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj): industry on the ground
The aromatics section of the original design included butadiene at 154,000 t/y, styrene at 400,000 t/y and benzene at 355,000 t/y, so flammable liquids and vapours were central to the plan.
The term · ATEX and IECEx
What “ATEX and IECEx” means for a smartphone
ATEX is the European legal framework for equipment used in explosive atmospheres (Directive 2014/34/EU). IECEx is the international certification scheme built on the IEC 60079 standards. Buyers outside Europe often ask for both: an IECEx certificate is the technical evidence most national regimes build on, while ATEX is the legal route into the European market.
For the IS-04Z1 both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and neither certificate has been issued. The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: equipment Group II (surface industry), Category 2 (Zone 1 gas), protection concept ib (intrinsic safety), gas group IIC and temperature class T4.
In Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj). At the Boaventura Energy Complex, reviewers will want certificate evidence that fits the Brazilian Inmetro-accredited route for Ex equipment. A dual ATEX and IECEx route is designed to help international contractors involved in further construction. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet.
The route · distribution
Distributing the IS-04Z1 in Itaborai Petrochemical
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) yet and applications are reviewed company by company. Because a certified Ex device cannot be opened by an ordinary phone workshop without invalidating its certificate, SAMS looks for partners who can provide competent technical support and after-sales service locally.
What SAMS looks for in a partner
- Operator relationships
- Existing supplier registrations or a clear route to them with the main operators and contractors in Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj).
- Ex-competent staff
- People who understand zone classification, markings and the conditions of a certificate.
And equally important
- Local-language support
- Documentation, training and helpdesk in the languages the workforce uses.
- Service capability
- Spares, battery replacement and repair routed through SAMS-approved channels.
Questions · Itaborai Petrochemical
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical today?
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
What does an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical cost?
No price is published. While certification is in progress there is no list price and no committed lead time, and a supplier quoting a firm figure for an uncertified Ex handset is promising something it cannot stand behind. Indicative pre-launch pricing is issued in writing against a stated quantity and site.
Is the IS-04Z1 ATEX and IECEx certified?
Not yet. Both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and no certificate has been issued. Any listing that says otherwise is wrong.
Which areas at Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) would use it?
Likely candidates are natural gas processing unit, gas pipeline receiving area, lpg and c5+ product handling, planned refining and lubricant units. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
How do I become a SAMS distributor for Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj)?
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj).
Is the Itaborai site still in construction or operation?
Project listings show the complex has changed scope and name more than once, and published information is dated. Treat any schedule as indicative and confirm current status, contractors and induction requirements with Petrobras or its main contractors before planning equipment.
How do contractors usually travel to Itaborai?
By road via the Niteroi-Manilha highway and the Sao Goncalo to Rio route, with Rio's airport relatively close. Construction-era sites often run staff buses and gate inductions, so confirm transport and device carry rules with the contractor.
Are the planned refining units classified yet?
The sheet treats the base-oil, diesel and jet fuel units as plans, so work may be under construction and classification may not be final. Ask Petrobras what applies to each unit. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team.
