ATEX Canada - Explosion Protection Solutions

Our Explosion Protection Solutions

Comprehensive explosion protection systems tailored to your specific needs

Suppression

Explosion suppression is gaining more and more importance! It ensures rapid availability of the system, even after an explosion has occurred.

Isolation

The consideration of explosion isolation is essential when developing comprehensive explosion protection concepts for interconnected systems.

Venting

Pressure relief is the simplest form of explosion protection and limits the pressure of an explosion by targeted and precisely defined release of overpressure and flame front.

Detection

The detection of Explosions or Fire is the first and critical step in active protection systems, enabling timely activation of suppression or isolation devices.

Comprehensive Explosion Protection

Combining suppression, isolation, venting, and detection creates a robust and reliable explosion protection strategy tailored to your specific industrial environment.

Overview Suppression Systems

Explosion suppression is not only gaining in importance because of its reliability, it also guarantees the availability of facilities, even after an explosion. That may sound unbelievable. But the rising explosive pressure is identified within milliseconds and an extinguishing system that reduces the effects of the explosion to a defined minimum is activated. That means that employees, facilities and the environment are effectively protected. Additionally, ATEX explosion suppression features a high level of work place safety

AIS-P Powder - Dry Chemical Suppression

Gas generators activate the suppression bottles in the event of an explosion. A specially developed, reusable leaf valve ensures that the bottles are opened quickly. The extinguishing powder is suddenly introduced into the developing explosion cloud, acting specifically on the explosion flame. The flames are prevented from spreading. Once having been triggered, the valve can easily be replaced, allowing the entire system to be activated again within a very short time. This avoids long shutdown time for your plant.

Safe to use, thanks to encapsulation of the trigger mechanism
Total control through electronic addressability
No expensive blasting agents requiring extensive maintenance are required
Fast restoration through a reusable valve
User-friendly and easy replacement system

and more ..

AIS-H Hot Water Suppression System

A big advantage is the use of water that is kept hot in the suppression bottles. If triggered, your products only come into contact with water. This technology is therefore most suitable for use in the food production oriented industry, particularly for drying milk in spray towers. The fast activation or opening of the suppression bottle is achieved through gas generators and a special, reusable leaf valve. This can easily be exchanged after triggering. The entire system is therefore fully ready for operation again in a very short time, and your plant can soon start operating again.

Safe in use, thanks to encapsulation of the trigger mechanism,
Total control through electronic addressability
No expensive blasting agents requiring extensive maintenance are required
Fast restoration through a reusable valve
More safety when mounting or modifying the bottles through manual locking mechanisms
Fast and economical refilling
Separate monitoring of the bottle status and the triggering unit. Optional: remote diagnostic inspection by ATEX personnel

Explosion Isolation

Both our active and passive decoupling systems and components fit neatly into your processes, reliably isolating the parts of your facility. Depending on the component, it can be immediately redeployed after being triggered without any repair downtime or costs.

Explosion Protection Valve - FloatValve

The explosion protection valve prevents the dust explosion from expanding beyond the place where it is fitted. The valve acts as a flame barrier at the same time. In the event of an explosion, the valve detects the event through the kinetic energy preceding the pressure wave, and closes of the affected area. It is primarily used in clean air situations.

Low turbulence under normal circumstances, thereby saving energy
Automatic closure in the event of an explosion
Used for dusts with dust explosion classes St 1 and St 2 Horizontal fitting (a special version can, if required, be fitted vertically)
Fitted according to the direction of the explosion

Quick Sliding Valve

The quick closing valve is part of an active explosion isolation system. In the event of ignition, it is activated by solenoid valves. Air flows out of a compressed air reservoir into the drive cylinder, closing the slide valve within milliseconds. Both the flames and the spread of pressure are effectively stopped. After having been triggered, the slide valve can be reactivated without needing a repair, and because of its non-destructive operation it can be validated at any time.

No flow losses due to fully open channel
No repairs after triggering
Also suitable for high-pressure levels
Effective for explosions from both directions
Can also be used where dust levels are high

Explosion Venting

Pressure-venting equipment limits explosive pressure by venting excess pressure and the flame front in a targeted and precisely defined manner. It is often described as the simplest form of explosion protection. A venting panel involves low investment costs and simple handling.

Vent Panels or EasyQuench

Venting explosions by means of ATEX Explosion Vent Panels / Bursting discs guarantees controlled discharge of the explosion to the outside, whilst at the same time reducing pressure to a non-hazardous level.

Flamesless venting To protect indoor machinery the EasyQuench AQ guarantees flameless venting and dust protection. No burnt or unburnt dust passes off. Even a high temperature is reduced to a minimum.

Early fire Detection

The original! And still unmatched!

We are the oldest most experienced and most successful in the early detection of fire. Proven for decades, our early fire detection systems are successfully installed and maintained in all industrial sectors. Based on countless industrial experiences, our solutions are most efficient from all of our competitors. The basis for this is extensive knowledge of our experienced staff and a clear understanding of your processes.

CO-Detection - ACOM Detection System

Wherever it is necessary to detect smoulder spots and to take counter-measures, the ACOM detection system provides complete protection. It monitors the processed air if there is a presence of volatile pyrolysis components, then it immediately register these indications of thermal decomposition or of smoulder spot development into the system. The system is efficient enough to even detect a difference of 1 ppm. Self-ignition processes are detected as soon as they are in the early stages if initiation and can be stopped effectively. Drying milk in spray towers is one important application.
