More about Duque de Caxias that matters for portable equipment
Duque de Caxias: industry on the ground
Reduc sells about 55 different products, the most of any Petrobras refinery, from diesel, jet fuel and asphalt to LPG, paraffins, lubricants, coke and sulphur, so many hazardous product streams are handled on site.
Duque de Caxias: infrastructure
Petrobras has installed a reverse osmosis system supplied by SETA to treat and reuse refinery effluents, an example of the water-management projects that run alongside normal operations.
Duque de Caxias: projects and investment
The Reduc delayed coking unit started operating in July 2008 after an investment of about one billion dollars, converting heavy feedstock into diesel and naphtha and producing petroleum coke.
Duque de Caxias: infrastructure
A natural-gas power unit of 63 MW has served the refinery since 1976, so the site generates part of its own electricity as well as processing fuels and lubricants.
The term · hazardous area
What “hazardous area” means for a smartphone
A hazardous area is a place where flammable gas, vapour or combustible dust may be present. Standards divide these into zones: Zones 0, 1 and 2 for gas and vapour, and Zones 20, 21 and 22 for dust. Zone 1 and Zone 21 are the tier where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation, which is where the IS-04Z1 is designed to work. Anything carried in must be marked for the zone, gas group and temperature class of the area.
No certificate has been issued for the IS-04Z1 yet, so it must not be taken into a classified area until the certificate covering it exists and the site operator has accepted it.
In Duque de Caxias. Reduc has refinery process units, tank farms and pipelines, loading and dispatch areas, and biofuel (SAF and renewable diesel) processing, with Petrobras as operator. Petrobras classifies the areas; SAMS does not. A multi-product site means more than one product and classification may sit side by side.

- 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.

Questions · Duque de Caxias
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy a hazardous area mobile phone in Duque de Caxias 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 a hazardous area mobile phone in Duque de Caxias 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.
Which hazardous areas is the IS-04Z1 designed for?
Zone 1 and Zone 21 (gas and dust) with gas group IIC and temperature class T4, subject to certification. It must not be used in a classified area before its certificate is issued and the site has accepted it.
Which areas at Duque de Caxias would use it?
Likely candidates are refinery process units, tank farms and pipelines, loading and dispatch areas, biofuel (saf and renewable diesel) processing. 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.
Is Duque de Caxias refinery work usually tied to shutdown cycles?
Large refineries run planned turnarounds, and Reduc is in Petrobras' revamp programme. Exact dates are set by the operator, so confirm shutdown windows, contractor induction rules and permit-to-work practice before scheduling visits with portable equipment.
Which Reduc areas typically need Ex-rated mobile equipment?
Process units, lubricant and gas processing areas, tank farms and loading points commonly contain classified zones. Each area's gas group and temperature class is defined in the refinery's classification drawings, so ask the safety department for them before specifying a handheld device.
Does the new biofuel processing change classification?
Possibly. SAF and renewable diesel processing is a different product stream from the original refinery units, so its area classification may differ. Do not assume one marking fits all. Ask Petrobras for the classification of the exact unit before choosing a device.
