ATEX Hot Water Suppressors were specifically designed for the Dairy Drying Industry. With water stored in a temperature and pressure controlled unit, it provides a unique advantage in larger vessels. Before the advent of HWS DCS were used on these vessels.
ATEX’s Dry Chemical-based Advanced Explosion Suppression Systems offer multi-purpose, high-efficiency suppressor, discharging non-toxic flame-extinguishing powder into the protected plant using fast-acting non-explosively actuated valve.
The quick closing valve is part of an active explosion isolation system. In the event of ignition, it is activated by solenoid valves
The ATEX Quick Sliding Valve uses Gas Generators to close the valve if a deflagration is detected as provided with most new systems. But additionally, ATEX valves are provided with plant air operated slow stroke functions to allow the manual opening and closing of the valve for maintenance.
To meet the need of the powder industry, ATEX developed its cleanout technology in a passive oriented system. A valve that could meet the product flow requirements of today’s processes. The system would by Patent Pending Design clean out the isolation seal eliminating consideration of powder being compressed by the closure and allowing the flame to pass.
To protect indoor machinery the EasyQuench AQ guarantees flameless venting and dust protection. No burnt or unburnt dust passes off. Even a high temperature is reduced to a minimum. During normal venting an explosion is freely discharged, allowing flames and dust to exit from the process vessel. When the process is located indoor, ducts are generally used to convey the explosion outside the building. However, the cost and options of implementing explosion vents and duct are limited.
ATEX Easy Vents combine reliability and fast opening times. The all-in-one bursting element ensures lightweight construction and thus fast opening. The higher service life allows use under the toughest of conditions with a long service life.
The ACOM Detection System continuously analyses in and outlet airstreams of a drying process for volatile pyrolysis matter, thus detecting the earliest signs of thermal decomposition and the formation of hot spots, which means that they detect self-ignition processes whilst they are still forming and ideally long time before they become a Fire and/or Explosion Hazard.
The Process exhaust air is sucked at a pressure of 700m barg at the process temperature using an insulated heated sampling probe. The gas sample passes through this tube which has a high enough temperature maintained to keep the sample air above its dewpoint temperature and avoid any condensation to ensure accurate measurement. The sampling tube is ATEX certified for zones 1/2 & 21/22.
