EXPLOSION PROTECTION
In real life, it is impossible to eliminate the initiation source or explosive atmosphere. Thus most widely used protection consists of equipment designed to limit the effect of the explosion. This includes measures to reduce, suppress, and prevent the transmission of an explosion.
EXPLOSION VENTING
Explosion venting devices are used to protect against the consequences of an explosion. If an explosion occurs in an industrial plant and the explosion pressure reaches the maximum value, the explosion venting devices open automatically. The pressure in the technology drops to a safe level. Thanks to this, industrial technology will not be destroyed. The most common protection of this kind are VENT PRO venting panels or devices for flameless venting – FLEX.
EXPLOSION SUPPRESSION
Another method of explosion protection is suppression. The HRD system detects explosion and activates extinguishing agents in milliseconds to suppress the explosion. The system reduces the explosion pressure inside the device to a level at which the technology won’t be destroyed.
EXPLOSION ISOLATION
Explosion transmission protection devices are systems for preventing the transmission of explosions to related parts of the technology. Both passive (explosion isolation flap valve B-FLAP I PRO) and active variant (quick-acting slide valve GatEx and HRD barrier) should be used.
ELEVEX SYSTEM
ELEVEX is a certified effective solution for the explosion protection of vertical and horizontal conveyors. The ELEVEX system reduces the explosion pressure to an extremely low value. Installation of the ELEVEX system does not prevent an explosion in an elevator or other similar transport system, but the outcomes can be reduced to a minimum.
MOST EFFECTIVE EXPLOSION PROTECTION
To achieve the most effective protection, RSBP highly recommends combining individual types of protection. Such a solution is especially useful in high-risk areas in which is a significant danger of technology destruction, injury, or death.
