To mitigate against the threat of industrial explosions, Reliable fire provides a wide range of explosion protection products and services to industry. From explosion testing, to explosion venting systems, to explosion suppression systems, and to explosion isolation systems, Reliable has the strategies and tools to protect your plant from the devastation of process explosions.
The strategy behind explosion isolation is to prevent flame propagation from one piece of process equipment to another or to a personnel occupied area. In practical terms, this means that process areas can be zoned to minimize the affects of downtime in the event of an explosion.
An explosion isolation system consists of four components. There are two types of isolation systems--mechanical and chemical. In the mechanical system an isolation valve physically isolates the affected vessel. An explosion detector detects the leading pressure wave of an ongoing explosion, and sends a signal to the system controller in one millisecond. The system controller sends a signal to a gas cartridge actuator to fire the actuator. The gas from the cartridge closes an isolation valve, sealing of the explosion. The entire process occurs in milliseconds to avoid the spread of the explosion.
With the chemical isolation system, a chemical dispersal unit is activated instead of an isolation valve. Most often chemical isolation systems are used to protect large duct systems from the spread of fire.
Fike Corporation is the only sole source provider of explosion suppression, isolation, venting, and testing solutions With Fike, Reliable provides solution-based designs for explosion protection drawn from a wide variety of protection strategies. This allows for custom protection strategies based on your actual need.
At Reliable Fire we provide the following explosion suppression equipment and services:
Assembling all the components together into a workable system optimized for your facility is the work of trained fire protection engineers. At Reliable Fire Equipment our engineering group will design your system, prepare shop drawings, and provide you the hard data you need to rest assured in the confidence of a well designed explosion isolation system.
