NEW BLAST HOOD AND CAPE
This newly modified blast hood and cape are designed to help improve the safety and effectiveness of rope access abrasive blasting in the oil and gas industry.
The improved version of the Apollo 600 blast hood respiratory protection equipment was developed by RBG Ltd., Aberdeen, in conjunction with Hodge Clemco Ltd., South Yorkshire, UK.
The improved blast hood has an area on the cape that allows entry to the rope access movement equipment. It also has internal linings that restrict the movement of the hood to avoid reducing visibility when ascending, descending, and during abrasive blasting operations.
The developers say that the rope access cape used with the Apollo helmet and flame retardant blast suit offers the highest level of protection for wet and dry blasting in addition to rope access work.
The new internal hood liners and rope access cape are designed to be supplied as a retrofit or a manufacturer built item. As with the traditional APH600CE helmet, the hood can be separated from the cape within seconds by releasing the ratchet clamp, which helps improve access in the event of an emergency.

A new leasing program is available for the BirdDog remote data retrieval system.
Through the lease program, users can collect, process, and electronically access information from remote oil and gas operational sites without the need for upfront capital investments in communications equipment, software, or other infrastructure components. The program options, as well as the availability of custom leases, means that existing equipment such as flow computers can typically continue to be used, thereby reducing overall lease and operating costs.
