Decompression panels are simple, economical and effective blast protection, but they have significant limitations: they are disposable, generate a hazardous discharge, require a protective zone and are not suitable for interiors or toxic materials. In many cases, more advanced solutions – flameless systems, valves or active suppression – will be preferable.
Since 2014, there have been significant changes to explosion safety regulations in Poland and the European Union to improve protection against the dangers of explosive atmospheres. Here are the most important of these: Regulatory developments New approaches to risk assessment Increasing the responsibility of employers Education and awareness These changes are aimed at increasing safety […]
The results of inspections by the State Labour Inspectorate (PIP) regarding explosion risks in biomass co-firing are not detailed in the available materials. However, general information on PIP activities in 2023 indicates an intensification of inspectors’ activities in the field of occupational health and safety. General overview of PIP inspections in 2023 Potential risks in […]
1. the 1998 event 2. 2012 event These incidents highlight the risks associated with operating coal-fired power plants, where factors such as coal dust can lead to serious accidents and risks to human health and infrastructure. Challenges at the Turów power plant Problems with the new power unit Legal issues relating to concessions Ecological controversy
In industries where explosive gases, vapors, or dust are a constant risk—such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and mining sites—maintaining robust safety measures is crucial. Explosion-proof terminal boxes and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) Ex control stations are two essential components that work together to protect equipment, personnel, and processes in these challenging environments. Explosion-Proof Terminal […]
ATEX Cable Gland: Safety and Reliability in Cable Entry Systems When you think about electrical installations in explosive atmospheres, the first thing that should come to mind is safety. That’s exactly why ATEX cable glands are an essential part of any such installation. These precisely engineered components, made from durable metals like stainless steel or […]
Properly implemented equipotential bonding and electrostatic grounding are the cornerstones of safety systems in the industry. Maintaining a uniform electrical potential among all conductive elements of an installation minimizes the risk of discharges, sparking, and consequently, fire or explosion in environments exposed to flammable substances.
In today’s demanding industrial environments, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems is paramount—especially in areas with explosive atmospheres. Our high-performance metal gland is engineered to deliver ultimate explosion protection, making it the preferred choice for industries where safety is non-negotiable. Unmatched Durability and Performance Crafted from durable 316L stainless steel and nickel-plated brass, […]
In environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present, maintaining a secure electrical installation is critical. Explosion-proof cable glands and their accessories work together to create a safe barrier that prevents hazardous substances from entering electrical enclosures and potentially causing an explosion. How Do These Components Work? Cable GlandsCable glands secure the connection […]
ATEX directives are European Union regulations that ensure safety in environments where there’s a risk of explosions. These guidelines are split into two key directives: The goal of the ATEX directives is to protect both workers and consumers by reducing the risk of explosions and ensuring that all products and systems meet strict safety standards […]
The IECEx standard, which stands for the “IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres,” is designed to simplify the process of certifying equipment used in hazardous areas. This international system allows equipment that meets IEC standards to be recognized across multiple countries. In practical terms, if your equipment […]
When working with threaded connections, it’s essential to understand the differences between metric threads and NPT (National Pipe Thread) systems. These two standards differ in measurement units, thread profiles, and sealing methods, making them suited for distinct applications. Measurement Units Thread Profile and Geometry Sealing and Applications In Summary Understanding these differences is crucial for […]
