What explosion-proof systems do we design and install?

Explosion relief

Explosion venting is a very effective method of protecting devices and equipment from the effects of an explosion. However, it is very easy for an inexperienced designer to make various mistakes, due to many limitations of various systems. Our designers have selected and designed explosion venting systems for thousands of different devices and pieces of equipment located in industrial plants in Poland and around the world.

Decompression panels

The most affordable protection method for use outside buildings. Flames and pressure are released into the environment (danger to people and equipment). The need to demarcate a danger zone.

Flameless relief

Single-use protection method for indoor and outdoor use. Flames and pressure are NOT released into the environment. Reduced risk of fire in the apparatus after an explosion.

Relief valves

Single-use protection method for indoor and outdoor use. Flames and pressure are NOT released into the environment. Reduced risk of fire in the apparatus after an explosion.

Pressure relief vents

Single-use protection method for indoor and outdoor use. Flames and pressure are NOT released into the environment. Reduced risk of fire in the apparatus after an explosion.

Explosion Suppression HRD-E type extinguishing cylinders

Explosion suppression

Reliable and with no limitations

We also design the most technically advanced (yet reliable and free of limitations inherent in venting systems) explosion suppression systems. Such explosion protection systems require extensive practical experience from their designers – the proper designation of installation locations of HRD cylinders and pressure and flame sensors is key to ensuring reliable and effective explosion protection.

Explosion containment design

Explosion containment is a legally required, additional safeguard protecting any equipment subject to explosion protection systems. Its purpose is to prevent an explosion from spreading to other equipment and process plant components and open-plan production areas. The design of explosion containment systems is closely related to the equipment to be protected and the venting or suppression systems selected to protect it.

Design of preventive systems

According to the ATEX Directive, the employer, in order to protect property and the health and life of workers, should implement measures to prevent and minimise the effects of an explosion. As part of our comprehensive explosion protection selection and design services, we also implement preventive systems. However, it is important to remember that while preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of an explosion, they can never completely eliminate it. A similar approach is used in the design of cars that we drive every day. Despite a number of preventive measures such as the ABS system, every car has crash mitigation measures which include air bags, seatbelts or structural reinforcements.

Not sure which system will be the best value for money and ensure compliance at the same time?
