IEP Process Safety Innovations

IEP Technologies can point to thousands of IEP systems installed over the last 60 years together with the unmatched expertise of their scientists and engineers and a vast database of explosion protection test results and practical applications. They have led the way with a number of notable innovations:

  • The establishment of a testing facility and calibrated test method for precise and repeatable results to be used in design verification;
  • The evolution of computer-aided design for protection of vessels through the determination of expected reduced explosion pressures for each vessel in a protected plant complex;
  • The development of full-scale explosion protection trials to validate design support tools.
  • The use of full-scale application design trials to provide data to quantify the reliability of system designs.
  • The introduction of product innovations, such as a unique bimodal powder suppressant, a false activation immune dynamic pressure detector and multi-zone configurable control equipment;
  • Advanced calculation tool for the design of connection protection – delivering clear guidance on the effective placement of isolation valves or chemical extinguishing barriers;
  • Unique methodology for quantifying the performance (reliability) of explosion protection measures to improve system design robustness;
