Primary Explosion Protection Provides only a Limited Safety

Special attention is required when eliminating all possible potential sources of ignition such as; Mechanical or Electrically produced 'sparks', Frictional heat, Electrostatic charges (See note* below), Welding equipment etc. Not forgetting of course, the human factor. Due to the seemingly endless sources for potential ignitions it is not hard to imagine the difficulty in eliminating them all. Removal of the fuel is impossible as this is what is being produced by the process in the plant that we are considering protecting. Removal of Oxygen is feasible but can only be achieved through vary expensive processing. The security limits here are also rapidly reached and the risk of a dust explosion cannot be excluded. Therefore a constructive and efficient explosion protection regime is required and essential.

NOTE* Contact KERSTING GMBH SAMPLING + GROUNDING, a REMBE ALLIANCE company and refer to 'Grounding Systems'.

Enormous Economic Damage

An explosion is defined as 'A rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually accompanied with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases. An explosion creates at shock wave'. Most common reactions are of flammable gases, vapors and cracked dusts - together with ambient oxygen. As a result of modern production technologies and increased production capacities, an explosion is a threat companies confront daily. Manufacturing processes which create organic or chemical dust caused by faster machines, automatic conveying systems and air cleaning equipment increase the risk of a dust explosion. The finer the dust particle, the more severe the explosion will be. International guidelines including NFPA 68, 69, ATEX 95 (Valid for manufacturers of machines and plants) or ATEX 137 (valid for operating companies) require companies to consider the consequences of a dust explosion to injured workers and damaged production plants. Additionally, the economic risk to the company due to plant shutdown, contaminated product or adverse publicity requires consideration.

THREE BASIC REQUIREMENTS HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED IN A MODERN EXPLOSION PROTECTION SOLUTION: 1. PROFITABILITY The protection solution has to be economical to implement, operate and maintain. 2. RELIABILITY The protected facility has to remain permanently and optimally available for production. A break in daily operations, due to false triggering, must be avoided. 3. SAFETY People and machine must be insured of an explosion protected environment, through constructive and effective directives.

ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET BY REMBE EXPLOSION SAFETY SYSTEMS.

The domed triple section rupture discs/panels developed by REMBE have a proven pedigree and have been successfully protecting a variety of industrial plants for more than 37 years, distinguishing themselves by their sturdy construction and reliability. The triple section ODV Rupture Disc/Panel is mainly used for applications with low or middle burst pressures. The burst pressure is determined by the burst element with integrated breaking points and its sealing part. Breaking points are made by CNC controlled laser micro-cutting machines. This enables the highest possible precision thereby guaranteeing the required burst pressure within tolerance. ODV's are applied to working pressures up to 80% of the specified burst pressure (80% operating ratio).

Special filters for gas explosions and hybrid mixtures on request!

The Q-Rohr-3 system is the only indoor explosion device recognized worldwide by NFPA68 and accepted also by VDI-3673 and prEN 14797. It consists of an integrated REMBE rupture disc which vents the explosion wave in a controlled manner within the Q-Rohr-3 assembly. Flame gases with temperatures higher than 2,732 F are cooled down to less than 195 F via energy transfer within the specially developed stainless steel mesh filter inlet. This reduces the expanding gas volume as it extinguishes the flame. Dust retention is guaranteed by the mesh filter ensuring that no burnt or unburnt dust particles pass through the Q-Rohr-3 assembly. Additionally, the pressure rise and increased noise level associated with free vented explosions are massively reduced to negligible levels. After an explosion event the Q-Rohr-3 is re-usable immediately after cleaning and replacement of the REMBE Rupture Disc assembly.

After cleaning the flame arrester and exchanging the rupture disc, the Q-Rohr is ready for use again.

EXPLOSION-, SPARKAND FLAME FRONT ISOLATION EXKOP II

The EXKOP system provides safe and economic and easy explosion-, spark- and flame front isolation. The pinch valves protect interconnected equipment by high speed closure of a fast acting rubber hose.

Pat.-No. EP 05 59 968

The valve is triggered by 100 % reliable signal from the maintenance-free triplesection rupture disc, the Q-Rohr-3 or by IR-, pressure or temperature sensors. The complete system is failsafe due to an integrated pressure storage tank and selfmonitoring controller. In case of explosion the plant personnel can reset the EXKOP system quickly and easily after inspection. Plant downtime is reduced to a minimum. The compact design makes it possible to install the system at any site independently of the building-in position. Compared with the immense mass acceleration of knife gate valves during closing operation the space-saving quench valve does not require any special supporting structure, e. g. braces or bases.

OF PIPELINES Q-Flap / Q-Flap Plus

With the non-return explosion valve series Q-Flap explosions in nearly all industrial sectors can effectively be isolated. The Q-Flap is certified as a protective system acc. to EU guideline 94/9/EG (ATEX 95) and approved for decoupling explosions of organic and inorganic dusts.

In case of an explosion the Q-Flap closes due to the pressure front spreading within the ductwork. The explosion flame and the pressure cannot strike back the ductwork. Personnel working at capturing points or downstream system parts are protected against the explosion effects. The flap damping element prevents the flap to open shortly after an explosion due the appearing low pressure. The passive non-return Q-Flap protects horizontal aspiration lines with a flow velocity between 15-30 m/s. Extensive research and testing under real explosion conditions enabled approval of the Q-Flap for St 1 or St 2 (max. KST-Value = 300 bar x m/s). Q-Flap is applicable for reduced pressure (Pred) up to 0.5 bar (7.25 Psi). Additionally the Q-Flap Plus offers a wear-and-tear sensor that monitors the abrasion that could possibly occur on the stainless steel flap. The Q-Flap is also equipped with an integrated clogging sensor that indicates any kind of product accumulation underneath the seats which ensures safe closing of the flap.

The Q-Flap is the only valve that allows easy maintenance as a result of the service opening.

ACCESSORIES / OPTIONS Signaling

Actuation of rupture discs and explosion panels can be detected by utilizing a signaling cable. The Signaling device is ultra low current and is intrinsically safe and operates on a simple Open-Closed principle (normally closed). Different standard types are available: Type SK / RSK / SR The Signaling cable is installed at the breaking point of the disc/panel. When the disc/panel actuates, the closed circuit is interrupted due to the cable break. The Signaling cable is a well proven reliable method. No additional assembly is required and no moveable parts remain. Type BIRD The BIRD Signaling unit is offered for existing rupture disc or explosion panel installations that do not have a Signaling device installed. A ceramic bar incorporating electrical conductors is mounted in the flow direction downstream of the disc/panel. When the disc/panel actuates the element breaks (fragments) and the closed circuit is interrupted. SSL fibre optic signaling unit If the optic fibre cracks due to the movement of the rupture panel the light stream of this waveguide is interrupted. The downstream optoelectrical converter immediately provides an electrical signal which can also be used for electronic data processing. The SSL fibre optic signaling unit is aluminium coated and heat resistant up to 932 F.
