Protection For Low-Pressure Tanks in a Wide Range of Industries

In all industries in which sensitive process media are used, the highest demands are placed on maintaining the quality, shelf life and product purity of the processed liquid or solid substances. This is often the case in the food industry and in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. The ELEVENT breather valve from REMBE protects vessels with low design pressures against overpressure and vacuum in a pressure range of 2–200 mbarg.

OsecoElfab Launches New Product Line in the Explosion Protection Industry

OsecoElfab has launched Xplo-Gard, an innovative flameless venting solution for enhanced explosion protection. The new line of flameless vents is designed for ease of use and maximum efficiency, and presents a range of pioneering features for safe and accurate flameless venting.
These include an access hatch, so that, unlike competitor models, users can easily install the explosion panel inside the vent body. A lightweight version not only supports easier installation but also features viewing windows for quick and easy panel inspection.

Protection Measures Mitigate Industrial Explosion Risk

Industrial dust explosions pose an ever-present threat within many processing industries worldwide.

Such events can have destructive results that can lead to business interruption, plant destruction, injuries, and even fatalities.

A range of well-established protection measures are available and commonly used across the globe to mitigate against the industrial explosion risk. One such method is active explosion protection.

Active explosion protection systems are designed to monitor process conditions to detect deflagrations and rapidly intervene to suppress developing explosions and prevent them from propagating to interconnected plant and equipment.

Innovative Multi-Point Earthing System from StuvEx

When loading or unloading non-conductive, flammable liquids or powders, there is a risk of generating electrostatic discharges. If these discharges reach sufficient magnitude, they can instigate an explosion. In order to perform these tasks safely, StuvEx provides a variety of systems designed to verify the grounding of conductive equipment. | Read more »

The Raptor Spark Detection and Extinguishing System

The Raptor Spark Detection and Extinguishing System is an FM approved safety system designed to reduce the risk of ignition of fire or explosion in dust collection systems. It is made up of (3x) primary components, several auxiliary components, and many complementary components. The primary components are the Spark Detection Control Unit, commonly referred to as the RS-CUSP1L Control Unit, the Spark Detector(s), and the Extinguishing Unit. | Read more »

Combustible Dust Explosion Risks: 3 Reasons Process Transitions Are Dangerous (and How To Make Them Safer)

In bulk processing, one of the most significant safety hazards that demands attention is the risk posed by combustible dust explosions. These occur when dust sitting on surfaces in the general factory area becomes airborne, and all it takes is any form of ignition, like a spark from electrostatic charges, to trigger a potentially devastating secondary explosion. | Read more »
