Safety and continuity of process are of major value to all companies. The fine particulate materials and production methods commonly used put factories, equipment, process, and employees at risk for catastrophe.

Safety conscious facility managers are turning to specialized explosion consultants to develop strategies to reduce and in some cases eliminate the underlying causes of explosive events. Enter, CV Technology, Inc. The company diagnoses the areas at risk as well as prepare for the worst should a disaster occur.

Current statistics estimate that approximately 2-3 dust explosions occur in various facilities in the U.S. per day with a major dust explosion happening every 20 years per facility. Plants that handle powders and bulk solids are even more susceptible. For a more detailed example of the devastation caused by dust explosion read CV Technology's article "Spontaneous Combustion in a Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant - A Dust Explosion Case Study" (December 1st, 2005).

Understanding and preventing these dangerous events is one of the most challenging tasks facing companies today.

Susceptible equipment includes: bucket elevators, silos, bins, and dust collectors, high-speed mills, grinders, blenders, and mixers.

Below is an example diagram for explosion protection in a typical at risk environment.

Explosion vent panels mitigate the damage should an explosive event occur. The INTERCEPTOR-VE Explosion Isolation Valves prevent extensive damage by "cutting off" explosion propagation between vessels. CV Technology's INTERCEPTOR-QR is a passive flameless vent, which is extremely effective in arresting flames in an explosion.

In every system there are zones that are of higher risk then others. Infra-Red Hot Body Detectors in conjunction with the INTERCEPTOR-CS Chemical Suppression System offer superior explosion protection and advanced warning in conditions ripe for dust explosion. Although an explosion can happen in milliseconds, these tools offer warning as the variables leading to a dust explosion escalate long before the conditions are met for a dust explosion to occur.

Detailed information is available on all CV Technology explosion prevention and mitigation products on the Products and Services page.

Of course the needs and configuration for each application are unique. CV Technology strives to maximize the effectiveness of the solution, while minimizing the impact to the process itself. The placement and operation of protective systems must not be obtrusive nor hinder the production process. This requires careful planning, plotting, and most of all experience to address each manufacture's situation.

There is no substitute for quality. CV Technology's explosion consulting is focused and goal oriented to prevent and protect the entire process. Not just the employees within the plants and factories, but the ongoing process that is interrupted when such an event occurs. CV Technology not only aims to minimize impact from every angle should a disaster occur, but minimize the risk conditions and by doing so possibly eliminate the risk of an explosive event altogether.
