Four-Layer Protection

Four-Layer Protection Mechanism Details

01

Passive Venting

Actively releases explosion pressure through venting devices to protect equipment structural integrity.

Key Products
Rupture DiscExplosion VentVent Duct
EN 14797 · NFPA 68 · FM
02

Active Suppression

When explosion occurs, high-speed injection of suppressant extinguishes explosion flames within milliseconds, preventing further pressure buildup.

Key Products
HRD SuppressorExplosion DetectorFast Response Controller
EN 14373 · NFPA 69 · FM
03

Explosion Isolation

Prevents explosion flames and pressure waves from propagating through pipelines, protecting upstream and downstream equipment and personnel.

Key Products
Mechanical Isolation ValveChemical Isolation SystemFast-Acting Shut-off Valve
EN 15089 · NFPA 69 · FM
04

Process Control

Maintains combustible dust/gas concentrations below explosion limits through process parameter monitoring and control, preventing explosions at the source.
