The cost of installing explosion protection depends on the complexity of the technological installation and the parameters of the gases/dusts that create an explosive atmosphere. Each order is handled individually, from the initial site visit to the binding offer.

Acceptance of the offer ends with a comprehensive project and the assembly of all elements.

The explosion protection inspection should be performed at least once a year and in accordance with the following guidelines:

Explosion protection includes all types of check valves, safety flaps, and flame arresters. The primary function of these safety devices is to prevent an explosion or limit its effects.

The selection of protection depends on the type of technological installation and the sources of emissions present. To select the appropriate safeguards, it is necessary to conduct an explosion hazard assessment and select the appropriate safeguarding devices.

Explosion protection devices should be installed in every situation where there is a risk of explosion and where it is technologically possible. As a company, we comprehensively implement all stages of security installation: audit, design, installation, and handover for use.

The primary benefit of installing explosion protection is avoiding financial losses that could occur in the event of an explosion. It should also be noted that, in addition to material losses, the owner of the installation is legally liable for the injuries suffered by employees. Failure to use the required safety measures may be grounds for insurance companies to refuse to pay out compensation.

Failure to install security measures results in financial losses and criminal liability.

A grounding control system is required in processes where there may be a potential difference between installation elements, leading to the formation of electrostatic charges that pose an explosion risk. The main processes requiring the use of grounding control systems are operations involving the transfer of flammable liquids.

Explosion protection – obligation and legal regulations

The primary responsibility of the user of a machine or installation located in areas or rooms at risk of explosion is to apply appropriate explosion protection measures. According to current regulations and insurance company guidelines, such equipment is a must-have, not a nice-to-have.

Regulations governing these issues include:

  • Regulation of the Minister of Development of June 6, 2016, concerning protective devices and systems,
  • Regulation of the Minister of Economy of July 8, 2010, regarding safety requirements at workplaces where explosive atmospheres may occur.

Our company offers comprehensive services in the following areas:

  • Explosion hazard assessments,
  • Selection and design of explosion protection,
  • Installation and commissioning of explosion protection systems.

Each order is handled individually, tailored to the client’s needs and expectations.
