Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj): infrastructure
Itaborai is linked to Sao Goncalo and Niteroi by the Niteroi-Manilha highway, and most drivers heading west use the Sao Goncalo, Niteroi and Rio de Janeiro route rather than the Baixada Fluminense roads.
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.
The term · explosion proof
What “explosion proof” means for a smartphone
“Explosion proof” is the phrase most buyers use for equipment that may be taken into a classified hazardous area. Strictly, it covers several protection concepts: a flameproof enclosure (Ex d) contains an internal explosion, while intrinsic safety (Ex i) limits electrical energy so that an ignition cannot start. Phones are normally intrinsically safe, because a flameproof handset would be too heavy to carry all shift.
The IS-04Z1 uses intrinsic safety, with a marking target of Ex ib IIC T4, and is designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21. It is pre-launch, certification is in progress and no certificate has been issued.
In Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj). The complex receives rich pre-salt gas and handles gas, LPG and C5+ products. Explosion-proof is a casual label for the many protection concepts used there; flameproof Ex d suits fixed enclosures. A portable handset relies on intrinsic safety, which is how the IS-04Z1 is designed, pending certification.

Specifying an explosion proof smartphone for Itaborai Petrochemical
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
Check on the paper
- Marking
- Equipment group, category, protection concept, gas group and temperature class, matched to the area drawing.
- Certificate and schedule
- A certificate number, issuing body and the schedule of conditions, not a brochure claim.
- Standards edition
- The IEC 60079 or national standard edition the certificate was issued against.
Check for the IS-04Z1
- Marking target
- II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: a target, not yet a certificate.
- Certificate status
- IECEx, ATEX, UKEX and NEC 500 in progress; none issued.
- Operator approval
- Separate from the certificate and handled with the site operator.
Questions · Itaborai Petrochemical
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an explosion proof smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical today?
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
What does an explosion 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.
Is the IS-04Z1 explosion proof or intrinsically safe?
It is intrinsically safe (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), which is the usual way to make a phone for hazardous areas. It is not a flameproof (Ex d) design, and certification is still in progress.
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.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
Does the surrounding protected area affect equipment use?
It mainly affects environmental permitting rather than device choice, since parts of the municipality lie in the Macacu river basin protection area. For instruments, the site's permit conditions and spill-prevention rules are the practical guide, so ask the HSE team.
What hazardous areas would a petrochemical complex like Itaborai have?
Typically cracker, polymer, aromatics and tank farm areas, with gas groups from IIA through IIC where hydrogen is present. The operator's classification drawings define zones and temperature classes, so ask for them before choosing mobile devices.
Does pre-salt gas change what I should look for in a handset?
The site processes rich gas into natural gas, LPG and C5+, so light hydrocarbons are present. Check that the gas group and temperature class on the label suit the operator's classification of each unit. Do not assume a single marking covers every area.
