Gas and dust explosions are potential and dangerous risks in industrial production that can lead to equipment damage, employee casualties, and production interruptions. To assist enterprises in establishing a comprehensive risk management system, RSBP Building Technology leverages advanced RSBP technology to provide a full-process one-stop service from explosion protection detection, risk assessment to product design. This ensures that solutions comply with government, insurance institutions, and international standards, including FM, CSA, ATEX, NFPA, VDI, and EN certification requirements.

1. Equipment Explosion Risk Assessment

Explosion Characteristics Analysis

• Detect key physicochemical parameters of dust (such as Kst, Pmax, MIE, LEL, MIT, etc.) to clearly identify dust types and explosion risks.

Potential Ignition Source Identification

• Identify potential ignition sources that may trigger explosions, such as static sparks, friction heat, and high-temperature surfaces, and assess dust deposition and suspension conditions.

Equipment Risk Assessment and Hazardous Area Classification

• Inspect equipment explosion-proof design (venting area, pressure-resistant structure, flame isolation devices), conduct qualitative and quantitative risk analysis, classify hazardous areas, and propose improvement suggestions.

2. Dust Explosion Detection Service

Based on risk assessment, we provide professional dust explosion parameter detection to ensure data provides a scientific basis for explosion-proof system design. Detection content includes:

• Explosion screening test: Quickly determine if dust is combustible.
• Minimum ignition temperature determination: Measure the minimum ignition temperature of dust layers and dust clouds (MITL/LIT and MITc/MIT) separately.
• Concentration and energy tests: Determine the lower explosion limit (LEL), minimum ignition energy (MIE), maximum explosion pressure (Pmax), pressure rise rate and explosion constant (Kst), and classify dust as St1, St2 or St3.
• Other parameter tests: Including limiting oxygen concentration (LOC), combustion behavior, resistivity, and spontaneous combustion characteristics.

All tests are performed according to EN ISO/IEC 80079-20-2, ASTM, and EN 14034 series standards to ensure accurate test data and provide a solid basis for subsequent design.

3. Venting Area Calculation and Product Design

Venting Area Calculation

• Calculate the required venting area based on equipment volume and gas and dust explosion parameters, according to NFPA 68, NFPA 69, and related EN standards.

Design and Selection

• Based on calculation results, select appropriate venting devices such as VENT PRO (venting panels) and FLEX II/FLEX PRO(S) (flameless venting devices), combined with RSBP explosion isolation devices (B-FLAP I PRO, GatEx PRO) and explosion suppression systems (HRD SYSTEM).

4. Product Certification and Compliance

RSBP explosion-proof products have passed international certifications such as FM, CSA, and ATEX, ensuring excellent performance and reliability in practical applications. Additionally, all product and system designs meet the requirements of the government’s “Existing Factory Fire Safety Management Improvement Countermeasures Promotion Program” and related insurance institution requirements, providing first-class explosion protection safety assurance.

5. One-Stop Service and Technical Support

RSBP Building Technology not only provides explosion assessment, detection, and venting design services but also offers customers:

• Professional product selection and customized design solutions.
• Installation guidance, commissioning, and subsequent maintenance to ensure stable operation of the entire explosion protection system.
• Professional technical consultation and training to assist enterprises in building a comprehensive risk management system.
