REMBE: Explosion safety
The 3 key features of a modern protection concept
1) Reliability and productivity: Protection systems must be permanently available and operational.
The possibility of false triggers must be excluded as this reduces the productivity of the plant.
2) Compliance: Modern protection systems must satisfy all legal requirements and thus guarantee legal compliance for plant
operators.
3) Cost-effectiveness: Protection systems must be as simple as possible to install and require minimum investment of time and
financial resources. The running costs of the systems must also be kept as low as possible.
All protection concepts from REMBE meet these requirements.
Below you can find some highlighted products. To see the entire REMBE product range, check the website:
Explosion vents
In the case of an explosion, an explosion vent will rupture and thus protect
the vessel by reducing the overpressure within it and releasing the explosion
into the surrounding environment in a controlled manner. Industrial processes
vary widely depending on the sector and the product.
No two processes are identical. For this reason, REMBE supplies explosion
vents in a variety of different shapes, materials, temperature- and pressure
resistances and many other specifications.

Flameless venting
During flameless explosion venting, the flames are cooled rapidly and
efficiently in the mesh filter of the flame absorber and extinguished
immediately. No flames and no pressure wave exit the vessel.
The filter design guarantees that no burned or combustible materials are
ejected. This does not only reduce the consequences of the explosion, it also
provides the highest level of protection for employees.

Isolation
The objective of explosion isolation or decoupling is to protect adjacent parts
of the plant and prevent the explosion from propagating.
Explosion isolation systems use components such as quench valves and
non-return flaps or valves. Chemical extinguishing barriers are also commonly
used to smother the explosion flames. Valves and extinguishing barriers are
capable of isolating components in both directions simultaneously.
