Fire Rated Hazardous Booths
Fire Rated Hazardous Booths
For the first time, C1D1 Labs will now be selling C1D1 / C1D2 Fire Rated Processing Booths. We get asked often if having fire rated walls on your hazardous booth is necessary and the answer is usually no, unless your local municipality requires this rating. Your standard Class 1 Division 1 booth, as long as it is built three feet from any other operation or wall, can be 18 gauge sheet metal
However! Fire rated C1D1 booths may be your solution to increasing your solvent limits without expensive engineering, labor and materials. Control areas are built when the building area exceeds the maximum allowed quantities of solvent (MAQ). Your MAQs are defined by the building type and a couple characteristics such as fire suppression and solvent storage, for example. A control area is designed to multiply your maximum allowed solvents by separating a chosen area from the rest of the building with fire walls. This separation actually allows you to have multiple areas inside your building that reach the MAQ. A F-1 occupancy building (standard manufacturing building) can have (4) control areas on the first floor of the building, each with it’s own separate maximum allowed quantities of solvent. Therefore, you could potentially have (4) areas with 480 gallons of ethanol, in a F1 occupancy building without having to build any additional fire walls. This is a huge advancement in the C1D1 booth tech and is patented by C1D1 Labs LLC!
Hazardous Booths for Large Scale Production
A standard C1D1 hazardous processing booth is engineered to provide a safe, code-compliant environment for operations involving flammable gases, vapors, solvents, or other hazardous materials. Typical components include explosion-proof intake and exhaust ventilation systems, gas detection sensors, audible and visual alarm systems, Class 1 Division 1 rated lighting, emergency shutoff controls (E-Stops), control panels, exit signage, and all required electrical components designed for hazardous locations. Many systems also incorporate HVAC integration, air purge functionality, fire protection interfaces, and engineered interlocks that help maintain compliance with NFPA, IFC, OSHA, and NEC requirements. These critical safety systems work together to protect personnel, equipment, and facilities while supporting efficient day-to-day operations.
C1D1 Labs provides everything needed to complete a hazardous processing room from start to finish. Rather than sourcing components from multiple vendors, customers can purchase a complete pre-engineered solution that includes the booth structure, explosion-proof electrical systems, gas monitoring equipment, ventilation packages, alarms, controls, documentation, and engineered drawings. Our turnkey approach simplifies permitting, reduces project risk, and helps customers get operational faster. With professionally engineered designs, code-compliant components, and expert support throughout the process, C1D1 Labs delivers a single-source solution for companies that need a safe, reliable, and fully integrated C1D1 hazardous processing environment.
