Most processes involve interconnection with associated vessels. To prevent propagation to other vessels, it is essential to apply appropriate explosion isolation devices to prevent flame, spark and/or pressure from transmitting to the other vessels.
The ATEX Quick-Sliding Gate Valve (Slam-Shut Valve) is a fast-acting valve, capable of stopping a fire or explosion from travelling through pipelines. The valve is used with a controller and a spark detection or other explosion detection device to form an active fire and explosion protection system.
The explosion barrier valve range from ATEX includes passive acting, single-direction or bi-direction isolation valves, normally closed by the pressure wave of an explosion. Optional assisted action creates a trigger able fast-acting valve for applications with a risk of fast flame-front propagation.
The TV Explosion Diverter from Atex is a mechanical explosion isolation device which protects ductwork and attached vessels by venting flame and pressure to a safe area.
ATEX Dry Chemical or Hot Water Isolation Systems provide an effective means of isolating the flame front growth of an advancing deflagration. With the same features as an ATEX Suppression system they suppress the advancing flame front and mitigate the advancing pressure wave.
