In a world that is increasingly moving away from conventional fuels, where we are always on the move and mobile yet connected to everything, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are the ultimate energy storage system of choice. Production and development of lithium-ion batteries must proceed at a rapid pace as demand grows. Ramping up production facilities for lithium-ion batteries is time critical, but speed can only lead to success if operations are played safely.
To achieve this, it is paramount to understand the safety risks associated with the production of this energy storage system. The potential dangers encompass fire and explosions due to flammable vapours from solvents and liquid electrolytes. Hazardous gases, dust particles, and oxygen deficiency in certain processing environments may affect workers health and safety.
Navigating these risks demands a robust safety concept, which Dräger is ready to provide. Our expertise includes comprehensive risk assessment and consultancy to tailor safety strategies amidst time pressure and budget constraints. We prioritize plant safety through effective gas and flame detection systems, customized for each unique manufacturing setup. Additionally, we uphold workers' safety with the right protective equipment and personal air monitoring devices, promoting sustainable and efficient work processes.
Beside all precautions accidents might happen, but emergency preparedness can make the difference.
