What are Explosion Isolation Valves?
Explosion isolation valves are protective systems used for isolation to prevent a dust explosion propagating into interconnected vessels or areas.
There is particularly high risk during the filling of silos due to explosive dust and air mixtures. Many vessels, silos and machines are connected by pipes, pneumatic conveyors and dust extraction systems.
If a dust explosion occurs, the flames and pressure waves can spread through these pipes and conduits to other parts of the manufacturing plant.
The result is series of secondary explosions that cause even more catastrophic damage. An isolation system prevents explosions from propagating and thus minimises the consequences of an explosion. It ensures optimum protection for adjacent parts of the plant. Explosion isolation systems can be either active or passive. Passive isolation systems react simply to the effect of the explosion.
Active systems have detectors or sensors which register the pressure rise or detects flames and they trigger a countermeasure for example closing a high-speed valve. Different types of explosion isolation valves are high-speed quench valves, explosion proof non return valves and chemical extinguishing barriers.
Explosion isolation valves are manufactured according to ATEX, EN15089, EN16447 and NFPA69 standards.

Rembe EXKOP SYSTEM
The Rembe EXKOP system is a high-speed explosion isolation valve with separate electronic controller. In the event of an explosion the EXKOP controller receives a signal from either an explosion vent, flameless explosion vent or spark detector and activates the quench valve. The high-speed quench valve closes in milliseconds and protects adjacent plant components from secondary dust explosions. After being triggered the quench valve can be put back into operation once again at the touch of a button. EXKOP systems are suitable for filling pipes, aspiration lines and pneumatic conveying lines handling powders in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Rembe Q-FLAP
The Rembe Q-Flap is an explosion proof non return valve that can be used to isolate explosions effectively in virtually all industries. They are available in sizes from DN100 up to DN1250. Explosion isolation flap valves are commonly used on inlet pipes to dust collectors handling combustible dusts.
