EXPLOSION PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Explosion Vents and Panel

Unique, economic and patented design | Accurate reliable and leak tight | Enhanced abrasion resistance | One-piece metal construction without slits on the process side avoiding product accumulation | Optional design for aseptic/sanitary applications | No fragile PTFE seal that may puncture and admit moisture | Superior dynamic performance due to low mass compared with composite designs | Operating pressures up to 60% of the minimum tagged pressure rating (80% under certain conditions) | Thermal insulation available to permit use in operating temperatures to 2000°F/1093°C, to reduce heat loss or prevent condensation | Supplied with integral gaskets ready for installation | Fail-safe design, if damaged it will provide a relief opening below its rated pressure

Flameless Venting

Flame, Dust and Pressure Control: Intercepts Quenches, Retains | 4 safety functions of the IQR System™ | Flame Arresting – No flame escapes providing a safe operating environment for personnel. Eliminates the possibility of a secondary ignition and subsequent explosion external to the protected equipment. | Dust Retention – Retains process product removing the possibility of potentially toxic product entering the environment. | Pressure Retention – Absorbs explosion pressure peak, protects personnel and surrounding environment from pressure blast. | Temperature Control – Absorbs fireball with negligible temperature rise in surrounding environment.

Explosion Suppression​

BS&B Type IPD explosion suppression systems use a lightweight modular design to deliver extinguishing agents into a rapidly developing fire to suppress it before reaching destructive proportions. A typical system consists of a Unitized Sensor, a Power Supply Module, a System Monitor and several Explosion Suppression "Cannons." The Explosion Suppression Cannon module propels the extinguishing agent into the developing fireball of an explosion. Because the developing explosion has a head start on the actuation of the suppression system, the system must be rapidly actuated. Dynamic activation breaks up any compaction of dry chemical extinguishing agents, and releases stored pressure to deliver the agent at a very rapid rate. The function of the agent is to extract heat from the developing fireball. The amount of heat generated is a function of the size of the fireball, and the size grows rapidly with time. This requires that the Suppression System must react very quickly.

Building & Duct Vents

Zero maintenance | Low mass, simple installation | Designed for non fragmentation |
Available translucent construction | Excellent insulating properties | Simple replacement | May be applied to protect outlet side of vent relief ducting

​

Explosion Isolation Chemical

The BS&B Type IPD Chemical Isolation System provides protection to interconnected equipment in the event of an explosion. Ducting and piping connecting process equipment can propagate an explosion originating within a single piece of equipment. If unprotected, the ducting, piping, as well as all the connected vessels and equipment are at risk. The BS&B Chemical Explosion Isolation System is designed to inject a suppression agent into ducting and piping to interrupt the transport of burning material & quench the flame front. The industrial process equipment may be protected by one or more of the following techniques: Explosion Venting, Explosion Suppression, Explosion Containment

​

Explosion Isolation, Mechanical

Selection of the right mechanical isolation valve depends upon the maximum pressure that it must resist in the event of a deflagration.
