IEP Technologies GmbH

IEP Technologies is the world leader in providing comprehensive Explosion Protection solutions for dust hazards. We have conducted thousands of full-scale explosion tests to better understand the science behind flame propagation and verify our protection solutions which include explosion vents, flameless explosion venting, explosion suppression systems, explosion isolation systems, and explosion detectors. Our Products and design calculation tools are third party (FM and ATEX) approved/certified. This means that every design is ATEX certified. From design to service, you can have confidence in the solution IEP Technologies provides.

An explosion suppression system consists of three components: a (i) detector; (ii) control unit; and (iii) suppressor(s). In the event an ignition occurs, the fireball expands from the ignition kernel with the pressure wave (created by the increase in temperature) traveling ahead of the flame front. Explosion pressure detectors are configured to respond to the characteristic pressure increase within milliseconds.

The IEP Technologies Combustion Research Center uses recognized test methods, such as those published by ASTM, U.S. DOT, UN, and others, to conduct testing to determine the combustion properties of your process material which include dusts, liquids, and gases. Understanding the characteristics of your material is the first step in designing a suitable protection solution.
