The Interceptor®-VE® is an NFPA 69 compliant isolation pinch valve solution to prevent the propagation of a deflagration in a duct or pipeline. The Interceptor®-VE® is an NFPA 69 compliant valve with a natural rubber bladder that inflates with the release of compressed air from high speed solenoid valves, instantaneously closing the valve. Upon receiving a signal from a pressure detector, optical detector, or explosion vent the Interceptor®-VE® valve is designed to rapidly close. The medium for actuation is plant-compressed air stored in a tank on the valve to ensure the fastest response possible under any plant conditions. With little vendor support required and no protrusion into the duct, the Interceptor®-VE® is ideal for almost any system, including pneumatic conveying systems, dust collection systems, cyclones, mills, and storage vessels.

The LumEx® optical detector is an infrared detector designed for detecting explosions or flame propagations. LumEx® detectors are often used for detection purposes on isolation applications and bucket elevator suppression solutions. The detector features two silicon photodiodes that are looking for high saturation of UV/IR radiation, indicative of flame propagation. These diodes are less sensitive to light sources compared to traditional optical detectors which limit false readings. Each LumEx® detector is provided with a welding adaptor that includes an air sweep connection. The air sweep connection is meant to keeps the lens clear of particulates, and the detector has an internal self-checking function to alarm when cleaning is needed. LumEx® detectors also have the ability to record a data log of events including activations and faults.

Part of the Preventive Series, the MGD (Multi-gas detector) is a detector designed for early fire detection and for monitoring harmful and hazardous substances in both industrial and public applications. The MGD is paired with the Eximio Controller, Quick Activating Water Spray, and often IR detectors. This device is known as the “electronic nose”, useful in storage or open applications. Firefly multi-gas detection is as follows: upon gas detection (demand), the control logic initiates activation by relaying the signal to the customer’s system. These are very sensitive sensors that recognize gases released at the beginning of a fire, detecting before visible smoke or flames. Once the MGD detects gas, various types of activation can occur, such as water extinguishing into the process, CO2 extinguishing, diverting the material, stop of material flow with abortion gates, etc. The detector is comprised of MOS thick film technology which enables the detection of fire and hazardous events with high sensitivity on the basis of a wide range of gaseous fire decomposition. The MGD includes an array with six chemical gas sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors. It uses data processing with artificial intelligence.

The flame detectors are used for extremely rapid detection in Protective, Quick Suppression Systems. The UVIR detectors are optically based, self-contained, microprocessor-controlled, ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) and high-speed ultraviolet (UV) flame detectors designed for the Firefly Eximio system. The patented TrueDetect™ technology minimizes false alarms. The flame detector can be used in open or closed areas, it registers the UV and IR light emitted from material burning. The detectors use FEA (Fire Event Analysis) recognition technology to distinguish between radiation from hazardous flames even with a lit room. They can be used in applications with sudden fires from hydrocarbon fuels or when proper options are selected, from specified non-hydrocarbon fuels, may occur. These detectors can be paired with various mitigation options (including water mist nozzles, abort gates, CO2 gas system, slide gates, etc.). The IR flame detector is equipped with an automatic self-test feature that verifies the proper function of the electronics, sensors, and optical surfaces. The detectors are approved for both indoor and outdoor installations. Previous CUE systems had the OAD detector which is now referred to as the UVIR detector; both are fully functional with the new Eximio system. The response of detection is less than 1 second.

The Ventex® is an NFPA compliant passive isolation device designed to prevent the propagation of deflagration in a duct or pipeline. This NFPA 69 compliant float valve features a painted carbon steel body with a floating disc in the middle of the valve. The Ventex® isolation valve is designed to operate by closing when the pressure wave of the explosion slams and locks the valve shut. During an upset condition, the regular flow is interrupted and a deflagration’s pressure wave causes the floating disc to close shut, effectively preventing the dust deflagration from propagating to interconnected equipment or areas. The Ventex® valve is ideal for use for light dust loading or clean air isolation applications on a variety of different process equipment. Examples include dust collectors, cyclones, mills, pneumatic conveying receivers, and dryers.

The Firefly Water Mist System is paired with Flame Detection and the Eximio Control Unit for quickly suppressing hot particles. This system is used for high-risk and critical machines. The water mist system rapidly extinguishes while utilizing small volumes of water. They can be used in open or enclosed areas. The Firefly Quick Suppression System uses the same Eximio controller as the Spark Detection System, so there is the option to combine both prevention and protection, to achieve an optimized system functionality. After flame detection, the hydraulic water mist system can suppress the flame within 0.3 to 3.0 seconds. The system can supply water for over 10 minutes.

Used for spark detection systems, the water spray nozzles prevent fire and explosions before they occur. They are paired with passive IR detectors and an Eximio Control unit. They are made of brass and are offered with different water pressure speeds. The water spray nozzle system has PowerImpact™ Extinguishing, which can cover ducts and chutes up to 98” in diameter with a velocity up to 164 ft/s. The reaction time for the water spray, after detection is less than 70 ms. The full cone water spray nozzles have a spray angle of 110° each. The nozzles release large water droplets for momentum and penetration. The system includes quick release and flexible hoses, which make it simple to test the system without releasing water into the process.
