High-Speed Isolation Valve

The High-Speed Isolation Valve provides a solution for vital explosion isolation applications. It operates in milliseconds to provide a mechanical barrier within a pipeline.

IsoDisc™ Passive Isolation Device

The IEP Technologies range of passive isolation devices type IsoDiscTM is a cost-effective and reliable explosion isolation solution that mitigates explosion propagation risks to upstream equipment or flame and pressure transmission to the environment. These passive isolation solutions are effective, self-actuating devices providing inlet explosion isolation to protected vessels handling combustible dust such as air aspiration inlets of mills or clean air pipe ducting connected to equipment where explosive dust is handled.

A key parameter for any explosion protection system or device is the range of dust reactivity (Kst) that is applicable. For explosion isolation valves there will be a minimum and a maximum Kst value that the device can be applied to. All of our products have been approved for use at the upper and lower Kst values by notified safety bodies according to the ATEX Directive and meet the requirements of NFPA 69.

Our goal with any explosion isolation valve project is the following:

• Reduce initial and ongoing cost.
• Provide high reliability – for example, the IsoFlap™ Passive Isolation Valve is a self-monitoring device with continuous dust accumulation and flap position monitoring with interface to plant. control/alarm/shutdown systems. This provides the NFPA 69-required outputs should a material buildup condition occur that could compromise the valve’s effectiveness.
• Reduce maintenance costs.
