About Product

Flash fires and explosions pose a significant risk in many industrial processes, particularly where volatile solvents and dust are present—such as in high-speed industrial centrifuges. These conditions can easily create highly flammable environments, and without adequate safety measures, the consequences may be catastrophic, leading to severe fires, explosions, and even loss of life.

The risks associated with using industrial centrifuges for separating solids from flammable liquids have gained increased attention due to multiple serious incidents resulting in injuries and fatalities. Recognizing and mitigating these hazards is crucial—not just for safety managers and operators, but for everyone involved in the process.

Inerting systems have long been used as a safety solution, typically through two main methods:
1.Timed-Volume or Continuous Purge Method – The vessel is initially purged with an inert gas and then continuously supplied with inert gas to ensure oxygen levels remain below the Minimum Oxygen Concentration (MOC).
2.Pressurization Method – After purging, a constant positive pressure of inert gas is maintained within the vessel to prevent the ingress of air and maintain a safe atmosphere.

Both approaches play a critical role in ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments.
