Historically, the typical explosion suppression system has included these older technology “static” pressure detectors that require field configuration during system set-up as well as periodic recalibration. However, these types of detectors can be prone to triggering activations due to unexpected process pressure upsets and unforeseen fault conditions. More recent advances have led to the introduction of programmable dynamic “rate of rise” detectors. The use of dynamic explosion detection has substantially reduced false alarms due to process pressure variations. Some of the more advanced dynamic detectors are now available incorporate data capture and a memory buffer, which enables application-specific programming prior to start-up, simulating faulty equipment/components and normal/abnormal process scenarios. A significant benefit of this data capture is the ability to review pressure-time graphs when performing a post-event analysis, to confirm the successful suppression and aid in understanding the timeline as the operations team works to determine the source of the ignition.
