Decompression panels
Decompression panels provide a simple yet effective method of minimizing the effects of an explosion by releasing pressure and flames from the interior of the protected device to the surroundings, thus preventing it from tearing apart. When deciding to use decompression panels, it is important to remember that they have many limitations (e.g., they should not be used inside rooms, and the discharge of explosion effects must not be directed towards other devices, pedestrian paths, roads, buildings, etc.).
PANELE DEKOMPRESYJNE
Alternative safeguards for 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.
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.
Reusable protection device for indoor and outdoor use. Flames and pressure are NOT released into the environment. Minimal risk of fire in the apparatus after an explosion.
Reusable protection device for indoor and outdoor use. Flames and pressure are NOT released into the environment. Minimal risk of fire in the device after an explosion.

Decompression panels
Brilex KER decompression panels
Brilex KER relief panels are ideal for use in bucket elevators, atmospheric tanks and other protected instruments where there is no variable pressure. One of the many advantages of this panel is the structurally reinforced edges, which allow installation without the need for an outlet flange, thus reducing costs of installation.
Brilex KE decompression panels
Brilex KE relief panels are the economically ideal solution for protecting process equipment, where the vacuum does not exceed 60% of the rated opening pressure. Brilex KE panel is a widely used explosion vent protection worldwide, as it is certified for Kst values up to 650 bar m/s and 100% venting efficiency.
Brilex GE decompression panels
Brilex GE relief panels are the ideal solution for protecting process equipment, where frequent and prolonged cycles of vacuum and overpressure occur. A distinctive feature of these dampers is domed design, which gives the panels resistance to negative pressure without the need for additional vacuum solutions.
Vigilex V-FLEX anti-explosion panels
The Vigilex V-FLEX venting panels feature a maximum vacuum pressure of 50 mbar and a burst pressure of 100 mbar ±15% at 20°C; single convex membrane.
Vigilex VL-S anti-explosion panels
The Vigilex VL-S explosion venting panels feature a maximum vacuum pressure of 50 mbar and a burst pressure of 100 mbar ±15% at 20°C. Material(s): stainless steel 304L; single flat membrane design.
Vigilex VD anti-explosion panels
The Vigilex VD explosion venting panels are cost-efficient explosion relief devices with a maximum vacuum pressure of 200 mbar.
Vigilex VL anti-explosion panels
Vigilex VL explosion venting panels: maximum vacuum pressure: 50 mbar; burst pressure: 100 mbar ±15% at 20°C; material(s): stainless steel grade 304L (SST430 frame).
Are you looking for a system without the above restrictions?
Check the explosion suppression systems
If the above systems have too many limitations, and you are looking for the most advanced explosion protection system, then be sure to check out explosion suppression systems. This is the solution free of the restrictions listed above. Often, this is also a perfect solution in terms of price, especially when considering the longer term use and installation costs.

Explosion isolation
The isolation complements the explosion protection system mentioned above. The purpose of the explosion isolation is to isolate the device in which the explosion occurred from the rest of the system. This eliminates the risk of pressure and fire going over onto adjacent equipment, which would lead to very dangerous secondary explosions. Why is it so dangerous? Because the fire and pressure are characterised by much higher dynamics and energy, and there are no safeguards to protect us in such a situation.
Prevention
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. This approach is based on the fact that although the safeguards can significantly reduce the risk of explosion, they can never provide 100% safety. We are facing a similar approach in our cars. 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.
You are protected by our insurance
Only those who do nothing make no mistakes. And while the quality of the work carried out is a priority for us, it is not possible to completely eliminate human error. Unforeseen production stoppages or product contamination during the installation of a system might result in considerable losses. Similarly, a mistake during the design and installation of an explosion protection system can have dire consequences. That is why our insurance policy protects both us and your establishment from unforeseen costs. We have probably the highest insurance policy on the market.
