Explosion Risk Assessment
Explosion Risk Assessment
Assess the likelihood and consequences of an explosion
TBS Industry provides highly qualified services for the development of documentation for explosion protection of enterprises, technological lines and equipment.
To create explosion protection documentation, we use a proven step-by-step risk assessment approach to reduce the likelihood of a dust explosion and reduce its consequences.
We have conducted dozens of successful explosion hazard assessments and implemented hundreds of explosion protection projects for the largest enterprises in Ukraine and other countries.
Our company annually improves the qualifications of explosion protection specialists and takes an individual approach to assessing the danger of dust explosions. We constantly conduct research for the largest international companies and help ensure the safety of enterprises.
Review
Identification of ignition sources
It is due to the presence of ignition sources in explosive areas that an explosion occurs, which leads to catastrophic consequences. Timely detection of ignition sources and work to eliminate them can significantly reduce the likelihood of an explosion in production.
We can analyze the presence of ignition sources:
- Hot surfaces
- Flames and hot gases
- Mechanical sparks
- Electrical equipment
- Stray currents
- Static electricity
- Lightning
- Radio frequency electromagnetic waves
- Electromagnetic waves
- Ionizing radiation
- Ultrasound
- Adiabatic compression and shock waves
- Exothermic reactions, including spontaneous combustion of dust
Assessing the risks and consequences of an explosion
Classification of explosive zones, inspection of process equipment and identification of ignition sources makes it possible to predict the likelihood of an explosion incident and assess its consequences both for the process equipment itself and for personnel and buildings.
Based on an understanding of the full scope of risks, we will develop for you a step-by-step action plan to reduce the risks of an explosion incident and reduce its destructive consequences.
Process Equipment Inspection
- Rupture discs for explosion pressure relief
- Flame filters for safe release of explosion pressure
- Explosion isolation valves
- Active explosion suppression systems
Electrical Equipment Inspection
Electrical equipment in hazardous areas is one of the main sources of ignition of potentially explosive dust.
Testing electrical components in hazardous areas will provide a broad understanding of the risks of explosion incidents. We carry out a complete inspection of electrical equipment according to the area where it is installed.
