BS&B - Explosion Suppression Protection System
The BS&B Type IPD Explosion Suppression System is an advanced safety solution designed to protect process enclosures from dust explosion hazards. Utilizing a Unitized Sensor with three individual pressure sensors, it detects early pressure rise stages linked with dust explosions. Upon activation, the Explosion Suppression Cannon discharges a food compatible sodium bicarbonate suppression agent to extinguish early combustion stages before they escalate into dangerous deflagrations. This sophisticated system ensures pressure spikes are controlled, thus safeguarding the structural integrity of the equipment. It's an essential protection measure for industrial environments dealing with combustible dust. BS&B also offers comprehensive solutions in explosion protection including chemical isolation systems, industrial venting, spark detection, and adheres to regulatory standards like NFPA 654 and OSHA's Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program.- Low Mass/Low Pressure - Compact
- On Site Refurbishment - no Hardware Exchange*
- Suppressant Energized- Full Discharge
- Installs at Any Angle - Flexibility
- Exempt from Use & Storage Licensing
- System Continuously Monitored
- Simple Routine Maintenance- by User
- Clean lnstallation- Flush Mounted
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.
