Military scenarios of usage
ExploZero is the most advanced explosion supression system
for protecting liquid and gaseous media. ExploZero combines maximum saftey with easiest handling.
The system of ExploZero consits of nonflammable synthetic
fibres, which were drilled into cylindrical brush elements.
The single
brushes were fixed together into system packs which do not
even afterglow.
The system packs guarantee most effective and rapid filling
of large-volume spaces. According to the geometry of the
exposed spaces, the system packs can be produced in various
sizes.
Besides synthetic fibres also high-temperature materials
can be used if needed.
Through the flexibility of each brush element, the system
packs fit in every imaginable environment. Individual
elements reliably secure the tightest corners and sensitive
fittings without additional packaging cost.
ExploZero doesn`t look like very impressive. But what`s behind the black brushes ist pure high-tech.
The system is built up by thousands of superfine
intertwining plastic threads of the single brush elements
and spilts the space which is to be protected into millions
of single cells.
Therefore a complete filling of the endangered space
prohibits the unlimited diffusion of the explosion to
unleash its devasting effect.
Ø The ExploZero system stops explosion flashovers!
Ø Explosions cannot unfold their devasting effects!
ExploZero® is used in system packs and is the further development of the international well known TSE® Tank-Saftey-Element system.

DOME) SHAFT
and TANK-SPECIALISTS
Scenario of usage:
petrol stations Hazard potential dome
Dome shafts are under earth manholes at
petrol stations, where fitting and dipping equipments and all
relevant controls and instruments are located which are
obligatory for the storage of fuels. Especially the controls for
finding the correct amount of fuel hold high hazard potential.
Especially at gas stations with Superethanol E 85, maximum safety installations are required. Because of inappropriate dipping or leaky connectors petrol fumes or fuels can escape within the dome shaft. Petrol fumes that are heavier than air collect at the bottom of those manholes. At presence of an ignition source those petrol fumes will cause a devasting explosion.
Especially hazardous are fuels consisting of ethanol because of the high explosion readyness of 3,4 Vol% - 15 Vol% and non-conducting plastic pipes. Depending on the rate of flow, those pipes get charged with up to 90.000 volts and can cause explosions.
Because of the average size of a dome shaft (app. 1,5m³) explosions with extreme pressures and devasting effects take place. Dome shaft lids with an own weigth of more than 120kg were catapulted dozens of meters through the air. The consequences of such „missiles“ lead to dramatic accidents again and again.
Using ExploZero such accidents are past. With only a few hand grips shafts are secured – for lifetime!

Legal situation industrial safety
Since 2006 there is a powerful obligation in matters of safety. The ATEX95-EU-directive regulates actions at workplaces with explosion hazard.
This EU-directive is valid for all European countries and is
already harmonized and thus operative in most of the member
countries.
Employers are committed to evaluate their working places regarding explosion hazard and to create documents for their employees how they are protected against explosions .
A non compliant implementation of the EU-directive can result in the closure of the complete facility!
Ordinance on flammable liquids National Rights in Austria
The ordinance on flammable liquids (German: „Verordnung über brennbare Flüssigkeiten – VbF” (BGBl 1991/240)) parallel to the ordinance on explosive atmospheres (German: „Verordnung über explosionsfähige Atmosphären - VEXAT" (BGBl. II Nr. 309/2004)) is especially focused on danger potentials of dome shafts. Find here the highlights of §51 VbF:
ExploZero - The explosion protection revolution
ExploZero was designed to fullfill the requirements at petrol stations, dome shafts, filling pump shafts, cabel channels and tanks for liquid and gaseous explosive media. Current laws aswell as economic aspects were carefullly implemented within the technical realization.
By using ExploZero the risk of explosions is minimized with
regards to explosion expansion and increase of pressure.
ExploZero protects life!
Compared to the conventional shaft collateralizations with gravel fillings ExploZero offers a multitude of advantages:
A complete shaft can be completely collateralized with only a
few handgrips.
The superlight packs can be installed in the shaft up to 4 times
faster and can be removed for service or control access no less
than 50 times faster. Especially at low temperatures ExploZero
brakes all rekords. Even in Winter it cannot freeze! In some
countries water can be a massive problem in the dome shaft.
Without removing ExploZero from the dome shaft the water can be
pumped out and the material takes no damage – it is completely
wear and corrosion proof! And finally even cleaning is easy:
simply use a steam jet and it is as good as new.
VbF conform explosion protection
Fast and easy insertion and removal of the superligth Packages. (Maintenance costs are reduced to a minimum!!!)
Inspections, repairs and maintenance can be executed within shortest time. (This brings you a crucial time advantage in case of emergency!!!)
No risk of damage of fittingss, measuring instruments or cables. Fits all kind of shapes
ExploZero is resistent to chemicals and humidity
No corrosion caused through bounded humidity
Compatible for liquid and gaseous media
100% abrasion proof
No disposal costs if fuel leaks out (Gravel)
Calculable amortization through longllife guarantee – stays in form, no decomposing, corrosion or degeneration
Environmentally friendly– cleaning can be done with a normal steam jet
Thousands of petrol stations will be newly built or modernized in Europe in the next future.
THE MODERN, PROFITABLE INVESTMENT
The
protection for petrol stations!
84.000 petrol stations in EU – Europe sum up to a theoretical need of app. 700.000 m³ ExploZero
Market entry through exclusive distribution especially for contractors!
References
Since the official release in the summer of the year 2009, a lot of petrol stations in Europe use ExploZero as their explosion protection system. Among the customers you can find all global players within the petroleum industry.
