ThermOmegaTech Therm-o-mix Station

Therm-O-Mix Station

Safety showers and face/eyewash stations are a critical piece of equipment in any workplace where chemical spills are a potential threat. ThermOmegaTech, a leader in self-actuating thermostatic technology, offers an innovative solution to the challenge of supplying safety fixtures with consistently tepid water on demand.

Therm-O-Mix Station is an instantaneous and reliable source of tepid water for a safety shower/eyewash system using the existing plant steam & water. The Therm-O-Mix Station utilizes only a facility’s existing steam and water supply to instantaneously deliver tepid water to emergency safety showers and face/eyewash stations. When an emergency fixture is activated, the resulting pressure drop on a diaphragm establishes flow and opens a steam control valve, which the station uses to heat cold water. The now hot water travels through an initial tempering valve that adds cold water and reduces the water temperature to about 100°F (37.7°C), then through a second mixing valve that adds additional cold water and lowers the temperature to an OSHA approved 80°F (26.6°C), before being delivered through the emergency fixtures. The expansion project included a mix of classified and non-classified environments. Equipment in the classified section of the plant needed to be explosion-proof due to the sensitive nature of the chemicals produced on-site and by selecting the Therm-O-Mix, the facility avoided the need for an expensive insulation process.The Therm-O-Mix Station operates completely mechanically. It doesn’t require a source of electricity to operate, so it’s the ideal tepid water delivery product for refineries and factories with explosion proof environments. A necessary addition to any new or existing facility to comply with ANSI Z358.1, the Therm-O-Mix Station has a small footprint, does not require insulated tanks or expensive re-circulation systems, and is self-purging so there is no need for an elaborate drainage system.

Design Features:

• Plant steam and water never mix-uses compact heat exchanger
• Standard pressure unit available for 45-60 PSIG steam pressure
• Low-pressure unit available for 15-30 PSIG steam pressure
• The durable enclosure can be readily removed for service
• Conforms to OSHA and ANSI recommendations
• ASSE 1071 compliant mixing valve

Compact and reliable, the Therm-O-Mix tepid water delivery station is an essential fixture in any facility where chemicals are being handled to ensure both worker safety and guideline compliance.
