Isolation Valve RSK

A passive device for isolating dust explosions.

Certification according to 94/9/EC
In event of a dust explosion in a filter/dust collector, the explosion can travel back via the inlet
ductwork to connected machinery or other plant equipment. Should an explosion be allowed to
travel back to the plant, the explosion will gain significant speed and will cause catastrophic
damage and can be life threatening to personanel in the plant.
Ignition sources such as ember or sparks can be produced by process machinery and then be
transported to filters. Filters can produce optimum conditions for dust explosions. The likelihood of
an ignition source together with an optimum airborne dust concentration characterises filters / dust
collectors as high-risk zones for dust explosions to occur.
Correctly designed and certified Explosion Vents in filters will protect their integrity, however an un-
isolated filter inlet duct will allow a high-risk hazard to propagate back to the rest of the plant.
Plant managers concerned about occupational Health and Safety as well as plant protection now
have a cost effective opportunity for explosion isolation of filters compared to other products such
as chemical suppression barriers, diverters and knife gate valves.
With a certified BRILEX RSK Isolation Valve it is now possible to isolate filters and run the plant
economically.
