Equipment Spotlight Dust Safety The latest collection and suppression systems on the market Staff Report CV TECHNOLOGY CV Technology is excited to introduce a product to the marketplace that draws upon the company’s 25-plus years of experience with passive flameless explosion protection and allows clients to protect their personnel and process from the effects of a deflagration while simultaneously solving the problem of discharging clean air to the exterior of their facility. With the Interceptor-QV, wood product facilities get the protection they need while safely and efficiently retuning clean air to the facility, thereby reducing HVAC costs and building air make-up issues. Another patented feature of the Interceptor-QV is an integrated thermocouple, which, when exposed to the intense heat of a deflagration, will indicate, via relay, that the system has been involved in an event. A passive system like this is on the job 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There is nothing to arm and no power source required for the QV to do its job. www.cvtechnology.com VETS SHEET METAL company completes projects in industrial, light industrial and institutional HVAC capacities with a specialization in dust collection and pneumatic conveying. Every application requires a unique approach to the development and implementation of a dust system. Whether the best tool for the job is a traditional cyclone or baghouse or something more unique like a Multi-Cone or Cyclofilter, VETS can engineer, design, fabricate and install a system that meets or exceeds your plant’s safety and environmental requirements. www.vetsgroup.com REMBE solution for process vessels which are located inside a building or other areas where standard explosion venting cannot be safely employed. The IV8 utilizes a stainless-steel explosion relief vent and flame arresting mesh enclosed in a durable carbon steel-coated frame. The integrated vent burst detection sensor allows plant personnel to respond accordingly in the event of an explosion within the protected application. www.IEPTechnologies.com FIKE Innovative technology makes it possible to divert combustible dust explosion shock waves and flames in a controlled manner so the required safety area is reduced, valuable usable area is increased and personnel/ equipment are protected from the explosion’s effects. Explosion vents are an economical form of explosion pressure relief but require extensive safety areas that become unusable space. Rembe’s Targo-Vent is an opening angle limiter developed especially for Rembe explosion vents. Targo-Vent guides pressure relief into areas where there is no danger to infrastructure or personnel. Targo-Vent absorbs the enormous repulsive forces of explosion energy and guides the flames/ shock wave in the desired direction so usable area is increased. www.rembe.us IEP TECHNOLOGIES VETS Sheet Metal was founded in 1921 by a World War I veteran and has nearly 100 years of HVAC experience. The IEP Technologies provides a complete range of cost-effective industrial explosion protection for biomass applications and is pleased to introduce the IV8 Flameless Vent. The IV8 provides an explosion protection Fike DFI is an ultra-reliable, compact passive explosion isolation valve that’s tested and proven to perform accurately under pressures it might experience during a deflagration within a biomass application. Its lightweight dual-flap assembly allows it to be installed near a vessel and in both vertical and horizontal orientations for sizes up to DN800. DFI exceeds the current EN16447 standard which has been empirically proven to not fully represent real-world applications. For instance, the standard allows for test set-ups to not include a “protected zone pipeline” on the non-deflagration side of the flap valve. Without it, the flap valve may be certified to protect against pressures for which it hasn’t been accurately tested. www.fike.com SUMMER 2021 24 Canadian BIOMASS
