Closed Loop & One Pass Explosion Prevention Systems : Aluminium Powder Co.

  Fairport NEU Solutions designed and built this bulk loading facility for a potentially hazardous material. The system employs the inerting method of explosion prevention, with atomised aluminium powder being handled in a closed loop nitrogen conveying system. Instead of using air for pneumatic conveying the inert gas, nitrogen is utilised. Additional security is achieved by incorporating explosion relief panels in the silo roofs, which lift off at 100 mbar g. This derived from an innovative approach to the design of the “Null Point”, which automatically relieves excess pressure.
