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.
Duque de Caxias: industry on the ground
The Duque de Caxias refinery (Reduc) has operated since 1961, ranks among Brazil's largest by crude capacity, and supplies about 80 percent of the country's lubricants while leading natural gas processing.
Duque de Caxias: geography and layout
The Duque de Caxias refinery complex covers about 13 square kilometres beside Rodovia Washington Luis in the Campos Eliseos district, making it a very large industrial site inside the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area.
The term · industrial
What “industrial” means for a smartphone
“Industrial” describes a phone built for plant conditions: sealed, drop-resistant and manageable at fleet scale through Android Enterprise. It does not by itself mean the phone may enter a classified area. Only a device with a valid explosion-protection certificate and marking may do that.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to be both an industrial Android phone (IP68, 4,000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, Android 16 with EMM and MDM support) and an intrinsically safe one. Its explosion-protection certificates are in progress and have not been issued.
In Duque de Caxias. The refinery is in the dense Rio metropolitan area with road links to the city and airport, so contractor fleets arrive easily and MDM enrolment, spares and charging are simple to organise. Charging stays in safe areas. Large shutdown workforces will need a managed fleet, not loose devices.

Specifying an industrial mobile phone for Duque de Caxias
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 · Duque de Caxias
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an industrial mobile phone in Duque de Caxias 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 industrial 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.
Is the IS-04Z1 an industrial phone as well as an Ex phone?
Yes by design: IP68 sealing, a 4,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera and Android 16 with EMM and MDM support. The explosion-protection certificates are separate and still in progress.
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.
