Report on Participation in the 1st Explosion-Proof and Disaster Prevention Risk Management Exhibition INCHEM TOKYO 2019

Is the tank truck properly grounded? The Earth-Rite RTR can guarantee that it is properly grounded!

The Earth-Rite RTR is a device that can prevent accidents caused by grounding work during filling and discharging operations in tank truck vehicles. For example, during the filling operation of a tank truck, the operator may connect the grounding wire to an incorrect grounding point on the tank truck, or the grounding wire may become disconnected during liquid transport. In such cases, the tank truck can become charged to 10-30 kV within 15-50 seconds. This level is sufficient to cause ignition or explosion due to static electricity. The Earth-Rite RTR continuously monitors to ensure that the grounding connection is correct and that the grounding resistance is appropriate. If there is a problem with the connection status, it can issue an alarm to the upper side via internal contact output (interlock function). This signal allows the customer’s equipment to stop the pump or sound a siren.

Ideal for installation and design in chemical plants! Flexibly connect the discharge and intake sections in powder transport, with customizable sizes and materials.

The powder flexible joint ConnflexⓇ developed by the Swiss powder equipment manufacturer Zimmermann Verfahrenstechnik is available. It is made from materials that excel in chemical resistance, heat resistance, and pressure resistance, and we can design products tailored to customer specifications and existing equipment, including size and connection parts (JIS standards). The flexible component materials include PTFE, polyurethane, and FEP. The standard material for the connecting parts is SUS316L, with Hastelloy available as an option.

Metallic bodies with electrical conductivity can be grounded with Earth-Rite PLUS!

The LACT unit, skid, and IBC (metal container) that come into contact with charged liquids may accumulate dangerous levels of static electricity on conductive metal bodies. If static electricity accumulates on an ungrounded object, the object's charge voltage can rise sharply, posing a risk of static sparks. The energy at that time may exceed the minimum ignition energy of various flammable gases and vapors. Earth-Rite PLUS ensures grounding of IBCs and drums with two systems: "interlock" and "indicator (display)." By using it, static charges can be safely removed, preventing ignition due to static discharge, and continuously monitoring grounding resistance values to eliminate ignition risks during operation.

Sampling is possible from various piping conditions such as pressurized states and high-temperature states without changing the physical properties of the liquid!

I want to prevent the alteration of liquids during sampling! I want to sample liquids while containing them! I want to safely sample liquids from pipes under pressure or at high temperatures! We solve problems related to sampling. With a rich combination of options, liquid sampling is possible in various situations and environments. For example... High-temperature liquids ⇒ Adapters for operator protection Oxidizing liquids ⇒ Nitrogen replacement in the sampling container can be done in advance Crystallizing liquids ⇒ Heating jackets can be installed Liquids under reduced pressure ⇒ Syringe-type adapters It is also possible to change materials according to the properties of the liquid being sampled or to modify connection methods to fit existing piping (such as JIS flange connections, ferrule connections, etc.).

No need to open the manhole for sampling from the reaction tank! Sampling can be done while containing the conditions inside the tank!

I want to safely sample liquid from the reaction vessel! I want to prevent the alteration of the liquid during sampling! I want to sample the liquid while containing it. We solve problems related to sampling. With a rich combination of options, liquid sampling is possible in various situations and environments. Nitrogen replacement for sample containers is also possible. To sample from the reaction vessel, you have no choice but to open the manhole... With BIAR's reaction vessel sampling system, there is no need to open the manhole. Sampling can be done safely and efficiently. Since it operates with compressed air instead of an electric pump, it can be used in explosion-proof areas without any issues.

Sampling is possible from piping under high temperature and pressure, as well as from reaction vessels during reactions! Oxidation risks and toxic liquids are also acceptable!

The BIAR company's "Liquid Sampling System" is a system that allows for the safe and efficient sampling of "high-temperature liquids," "toxic liquids," and "liquids that react with oxygen" from piping and reaction vessels under high temperature and pressure. It prevents foreign matter contamination and enables liquid sampling without altering the physical properties. Additionally, you can view a cut model that clearly shows the structure of the valve. 【Features】 ■ Operates with compressed air, eliminating the need for electric pumps, making it suitable for use in explosion-proof areas. ■ Ideal for the fields of chemistry and medicine. ■ Allows for liquid sampling without exposure to air. ■ Accessories for discharge can be shared. ■ Materials can be changed to SUS316L, Hastelloy, PFA coating, etc. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.
