The IV8 provides an explosion protection 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.

The new eSUPPRESSOR™ by IEP Technologies is a high-rate discharge extinguisher used for explosion suppression and isolation systems.  Its electro-mechanical actuating mechanism, using no pyrotechnic devices, is unique to the industry.  The eSuppressor features include pressure monitoring, LOTO capability and LED indication of device status.  A key benefit is that all safety functions are fully monitored, which is not possible for any device employing pyrotechnic actuators. 

The eSuppressor is designed to discharge suppressant in milliseconds within a process vessel, or to mitigate the propagation of flame through interconnected ductwork. It is used in conjunction with IEP Technologies’ range of control panels and detectors.

The MEX-3 pressure detector is designed to protect a wide range of process vessels – such as dust collectors and drying systems – against the threat of industrial explosions. It uses twin dynamic pressure measuring cells to detect an explosion and raise an alarm in milliseconds. Its algorithmic-based output and decision-making logic provides the highest detection security possible. The MEX-3 has the unique ability to analyze pressure rise and differentiate it from non-explosion pressure which provides maximum explosion protection and significantly reduces false alarms.
