Spark Detection & Extinguishing System Prevent Fire and Burst in Industrial Procedures

Protection You Can Count On

The BS&B SparkEx Spark Detection and Extinguishing System is designed to detect hot particles, sparks and flame that might become the ignition source for a fire or explosion if allowed to travel on through pneumatic ducting and conveyors towards other materials handling equipment. A few hot particles entering a dust collector handling a combustible dust are enough to trigger a dust explosion. Smouldering combustible solid conveyed into a storage silo can become the nucleus of a raging fire.

Reduce Fire and Explosion Risks

Using infrared detectors, the BS&B SparkEx Spark Detection and Extinguishing System, searches for elevated temperature particles. When hot material is detected, the BS&B SparkEx System provides many options to manage the ignition risk:

  1. Activate water spray nozzles placed downstream of the detection point of hot particles.
  2. Activate automated shut-down of the process to end the feed of combustible material.
  3. Provide a signal to activate other control devices shut-off valves.

The BS&B SparkEx Spark Detection & Extinguishing System operates in a continuous automatic mode with all of its critical circuits supervised to raise an immediate alarm in case of application difficulties.

Prevention Methods

  • Uses highly accurate type SDN or SDD Sensors for spark detection as well as flames, and hot particles
  • SDN/SDD Sensors activate control circuits connected to the automatic water extinguishing module
  • The extinguishing module extinguishes sparks and hot particles
  • Production continues while the BS&B SparkEx System extinguishes sparks
