Secure breathing air supply in chemical parks – why stationary solutions are essential.
Invisible danger – why respiratory protection in the chemical and petrochemical industry is vital.
Every day, thousands of professionals work in chemical parks and large industrial companies, handling highly hazardous chemicals, gases and vapors, that can be harmful or even fatal in small concentrations. This presents a significant challenge for companies:
While mobile breathing air supply solutions provide a certain degree of location-independent flexibility, for permanent (recurring) and location-bound applications, a stationary breathing air supply is the most efficient and safest choice because it:
- Ensures a reliable and safe breathing air supply
- Minimizes failure risks and meets occupational safety standards
- Provides flexibility for different work areas
The ultimate solution: Stationary breathing air supply systems for maximum safety
A stationary breathing air supply is the backbone of workplace safety in the chemical and petrochemical industries. BartelsRieger’s customizable stationary breathing air systems offer:
- Continuous and reliable air supply – By connecting to compressed air cylinders or compressors, the breathing air supply remains constant and safe.
- Customized adaptation – Whether multiple cylinders, entire cylinder bundles, or central supply stations, the solutions are modularly expandable and adaptable to specific industrial requirements.
- Maximum operational safety – In sensitive areas such as Ex-zones, chemical plants and production facilities, uninterrupted air supply is crucial. Our solutions are designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions.
- Reduction of downtime – Efficient planning and low-maintenance design minimize work process interruptions.
- Compliance with legal regulations – BartelsRieger ensures that your system meets all relevant safety standards and regulations, including DIN EN 12021 for breathing air quality.

The stationary breathing air supply by BartelsRieger
Continuous air supply without downtime
A fixed breathing air station controls the supply of breathing air from multiple sources, such as one or more high-pressure cylinder bundles. A high-quality power pressure reducer with operating indicator provides users with the required working pressure. An automatic switchover block activates another filled breathing air source as soon as the residual pressure of the first cylinder is reached. This ensures a continuous air flow without downtime.
Explanation of operation and protection of the BR 55 breathing air station
The BR55 is designed for use with breathing air cylinders or cylinder bundles with a maximum filling pressure of 300 bar. If required, the system is scalable using infeed manifolds (Vareo distributors) to allow multiple cylinders or bundles to be connected simultaneously.
High pressure is first reduced to line pressure (~ 25-35 bar) by main pressure reducers on the left and right. A subsequent working pressure reducer provides the required working pressure (0-10 bar).
The breathing air station is designed for a maximum capacity of 250 Nm³/h. It is protected by 1 relief valve and 1 safety valve, which are designed
to exclude the possibility of the individual components exceeding the pressure in case of a defect.
- Standard technology protection through robust stainless steel cabinet
- 2 fixed preset main pressure reducers, each with a high and medium pressure gauge
- Automatic switchover block
- Optional: 2 contact pressure gauges for connection to a control centre
- Connecting fittings
- 1 shut-off valve
- Stainless steel base plate
- Optional: High pressure warning whistle
- Safety/relief valve
