Explosionsskyddet
Explosionsskyddet, often translated as explosion protection, refers to the measures and technologies implemented to prevent or mitigate the effects of explosions in environments where flammable substances are present. This is crucial in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and handling of combustible dusts. The fundamental principle is to eliminate or control one or more elements of the explosion triangle: fuel, oxygen, and an ignition source.
Measures for explosion protection can be broadly categorized into passive and active systems. Passive measures involve
Active systems, on the other hand, are designed to detect and react to an impending explosion. These
