Description
The BS&B Type IPD Explosion Suppression System provides protection of process enclosures where dust suspended in air represents an explosion hazard. The early stages of the pressure rise associated with a dust explosion are detected by the Unitized Sensor which is mounted to the equipment to be protected.
When at least two of three individual pressure sensors within the Unitized Sensor respond, an electrical signal activates the Explosion Suppression Cannon(s) installed on the equipment causing the pulverized suppression agent (food compatible sodium bicarbonate) to be energized & discharged from the front of the Cannon into the equipment. This extinguishes the early stages of combustion of the process material before it builds into a deflagration which can generate a pressure spike exceeding the strength of the process equipment.
Explosion Isolation Chemical:
- Cannons may be installed in any orientation.
- Low mass and low reaction forces minimize installation costs for thin walled pipes and ducts.
- Intrinsically safe field wiring circuits eliminate the expense of explosion proof conduit.
- Pressure detector voting arrangement minimizes risk of activation from vibration and abnormal process pressure excursions.
- Replacement suppressant pre-packed in sealed canisters ensuring error free refit with minimal cleanup
Description
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
In all cases burning material is produced (a lesser amount when using explosion suppression which activates during the early stages of an explosion to extinguish the developing fireball) which will be transported through the open connections in the protected equipment. Both inlets and outlets are at risk; a normal air flow into the protected equipment will be reversed by the force of an explosive event. The IPD Explosion Isolation System is designed to rapidly inject a suppression agent into ducting and piping to extinguish burning material as it is transported.
