EXPLOSION SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
Areas typically requiring Explosion Suppression include:
- Power Generation
- Wood Processing Facilities
- Pharmaceutical
- Vapor Recovery
- Dust Collection
- Grain Elevators
- and more
When it comes to preventing the tragic consequences of an explosion, time is the most important factor. Explosion Suppression systems are designed to detect and chemically suppress an explosion in its earliest (incipient) stages. Explosion pressures reach dangerous levels in less than 50 milliseconds, and with unique detector technology, the deflagration can be detected in less than 1 millisecond!
Explosion Suppression technology is a complex field involving a wide variety of systems, chemistry and agents. Fire Equipment's professional staff is available to help assess your needs and select the most appropriate explosion suppression system. We provide solution-based designs so you can expect an explosion protection strategy based on your specific needs.
An explosion suppression system offers a variety of distinct advantages.
- Extinguishes the flame within the equipment, preventing fire damage.
- "Zero restriction" dispersion nozzles to reduce response time and increase agent discharge velocity.
- For added reliability, the control circuit designs provide continued service even if two of the wires become severed by some type of facility upset.
- Suppresses Class ST III dust explosion hazards - offering your business the highest level of industrial explosion protection.
- Prevents pressure piling and secondary explosions with interconnected equipment.
- Retains toxic or valuable material within the process equipment.
- Integrates with the process controls to enable other protection devices, process shutdown, and remote annunciation devices.
- Uses gas cartridges instead of explosive charges to release suppressant, providing a safer, more reliable initiation device with longer service and shelf life.
- FM approved; meets or exceeds global standards including ATEX, NFPA 69, and CSA; validated by CIBA in Switzerland. Fike is the only explosion protection manufacturer with all of these third party endorsements.
