Ex-Proof Smartphone Distributor in Itaborai Petrochemical
The Boaventura Energy Complex at Itaborai, Rio de Janeiro state, is the former Comperj petrochemical project. Its gas processing unit, fed by the 355 km Rota 3 pipeline from the Santos Basin pre-salt, has operated commercially since November 2024 and reached 21 million cubic metres a day of capacity with a second train in May 2025. An Ex-proof smartphone distributor in Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.

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): industry on the ground
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.
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.
The term · Ex-proof
What “Ex-proof” means for a smartphone
“Ex-proof” is shorthand for equipment carrying an explosion-protection marking (the Ex mark) that matches the area it enters. The marking states the protection concept, gas or dust group and temperature class, and it must be backed by a certificate issued by a recognised body, so a phone described as Ex-proof should come with a certificate number you can check.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to carry the marking II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4. That is a target: certification is in progress, no certificate has been issued, and SAMS will publish the certificate numbers when they exist.
In Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj). With gas, LPG and C5+ handling, a marking check here should look closely at gas group and temperature class for light hydrocarbons, after confirming zone suitability. The IS-04Z1 target marking II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 is not yet certified, and the operator decides what is acceptable.
The route · distribution
Distributing the IS-04Z1 in Itaborai Petrochemical
Distribution of the IS-04Z1 is by authorised partners only, and SAMS has not yet granted a territory for Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj).

- 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.

Questions · Itaborai Petrochemical
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an Ex-proof 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 Ex-proof smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical cost?
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
What Ex marking will the IS-04Z1 carry?
The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4. It becomes a marking only when the certificate is issued; until then it is a design target.
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.
