IEP Technologies

IEP Technologies provides a complete range of cost-effective industrial explosion protection for explosion protection solutions and is pleased to introduce the IV8 Flameless Vent. 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.

Its electro-mechanical actuating mechanism, using no pyrotechnic devices, is unique to the industry.  The eSuppressor features include pressure monitoring, lock-out/tag-out 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 has full redundancy and third party SIL 2 certification.

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. IEP Technologies sophisticated computer modeling techniques determine the quantity and size of suppressors to be used. These techniques predict reduced explosion pressures based on actual process conditions and detector settings.
