through pneumatic conveying systems and can ignite product and waste dust causing fires and explosions. GreCon Spark Detection and Extinguihing Sys-tems are a cost effective preventative system, which detect these hazards and activates counter measures before they cause fires or explosions. GreCon Spark Detection Systems are factory mutual approved and can reduce your risk of fires and dust explosions in transport and collection system as outlined in NFPA 69, 654, and 664 standards. www.grecon.us BAUM Baum builds 14x18 through to 45x55-size feeders as well as firelock isolators, as per NFPA 69. Airlocks are considered passive isolation due to their 10 vane rotor construction. Vanes are always blocking a blast pathway, regardless of what position the rotor is in, while operating or not operating. Two-hp to 20-hp drives available are (American Dodge TXT or European SEW Eurodrive). Top and bottom flanges on airlocks are industry standard, and available dimensions include A1400 and A1410. www.baumpneumatics.ca IEP TECHNOLOGIES WE FACE EXPLOSIONS EVERY DAY SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO. The Smart/DS Dy-namic Explosion De-tector System by IEP Technologies is de-signed for demanding process applica-tions requiring leading edge rate-of-rise explosion pressure sensing. Its unique ability to analyze rate of pressure rise and differentiate it from non-explosion pressure provides maximum explosion protection with minimal false alarms. Typical applications include dust col-lectors, drying systems, pneumatic conveying systems and reaction ves-sels. The SmartDS is designed as part of an explosion suppression system, installed and serviced by experienced IEP Technologies engineers and techni-cians throughout the world. www.IEPTechnologies.com VETS SHEET METAL Don’t ignore potential hazards in your facility.

The company’s strength is building and installing dust containment, abatement and suppression systems that meet stringent NFPA guidelines and significantly reduce our client’s cleanup and operating costs. VETS has installed numerous NFPA compliant systems with third party verified emission test results. A number of VETS’ supplied and/or installed multi-cyclone systems have had impressive air emission readings measuring an average PM emission rate of 0.006g per KG of effluent particulate matter released in the atmosphere. This is 15 times below the maximum allowable emissions as per the Alberta JULY/AUGUST 2018 28 Canadian BIOMASS
