Attention engineers and production managers in the oil, gas, chemical, and petrochemical fields! *White paper available for distribution.

Our company is a manufacturer of explosion protection and pressure relief products headquartered in Germany. Engineers in the oil, gas, chemical, and petrochemical sectors have relied on rupture discs for many years to quickly and reliably relieve unwanted and excessive pressure or vacuum within production processes. However, the early rupture discs were very simple, consisting of a flat metal piece installed between flanges that was weakened at a predetermined point using a mechanical scoring method (grooving) to open. Advancements in technology and design have dramatically improved quality and reliability, eliminating long-standing concerns such as pinholes, leaks, premature failures, and frequent replacements. *We are also offering a white paper in addition to our product catalog. The white paper discusses the challenges faced with rupture discs in the past and the current rupture discs that have resolved those issues. [Past Challenges] - Frequent leaks - Many premature failures (ruptures) - Need for frequent replacements

Automatic reclosing and reusable explosion-proof door

▶ Purpose In the drying process of the food industry, explosive atmospheres often occur. Due to the high likelihood of embers and hot surfaces, the preparation of explosion-proof devices is essential. The ring-type dryer has a functionally elongated design, so if the pressure relief device remains open after an explosion, the so-called chimney effect can exacerbate post-explosion fires. REMBE's explosion-proof door model ETX automatically closes after the explosion pressure is released, preventing post-explosion fires, that is, stopping the inflow of oxygen into the device. The ETX model remains undamaged after pressure relief and is reusable. ▶ Benefits of Use ▸ Prevention of post-explosion fires due to chimney effect ▸ Automatic re-closing ▸ Reusable ▸ High discharge efficiency ▸ Heat tracing for snow melting and freeze prevention (optional)

With Q-Rohr, we provide the best possible explosion safety guarantee while using the optimal layout for your production facility.

Safety and operational efficiency can coexist. Q-Rohr enables explosion venting without flames or dust in a sealed indoor environment. There is no need for complex ducting and the associated rearrangement of production equipment for outdoor venting. With Q-Rohr, we provide the best possible explosion safety guarantee while utilizing the optimal layout for your production facility. Furthermore, Q-Rohr is also very advantageous in terms of running costs. By eliminating vent ducts, you can save not only on installation costs but also on maintenance and upkeep expenses. ▶ Applications Q-Rohr is ideal for indoor installations where there is a risk of dust or gas explosions. It offers a wide range of flexible installation options, so many new plants are directly equipped with Q-Rohr. Modifications are also easily possible. Q-Rohr can be used to protect filters, dryers, and cyclones, and is applicable for gases, hybrid mixtures, metal dust, molten dust, fibers, and more. ▶ Mechanism Flame gases reaching up to 1,500°C are cooled very efficiently within a specially developed stainless steel mesh filter inlet by REMBE. This reduces the amount of gas discharged and helps to quell explosions.

Economic shutdown of filters, dust collectors, and raw gas lines.

**Application** In the event of an explosion, the Q-Flap RX explosion isolation flap valve effectively protects plant components in almost all industrial sectors. Additionally, the Q-Flap RX is ideal for suction lines of filter dust collectors and intake lines of mills. Piping with a nominal diameter of DN400 is primarily used in decentralized extraction systems in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, while piping with nominal diameters from DN450 to DN710 is used in centralized dust collectors in the grain and food industries. Piping with nominal diameters from DN800 to DN1250 is used in the wood and heavy industries. To meet the highly diverse demands of various industries, the Q-Flap RX product range offers three design versions. Products up to nominal diameter DN710 are equipped with inspection flaps, while products above that size feature a modular design. This allows for easy maintenance and servicing for any pipe size.

Elevator explosion vent - lightweight with high discharge efficiency

The Q-Ball E type ensures safe release of explosion pressure within the operating area. Flames are efficiently cooled and extinguished inside the Q-Ball E type, eliminating pressure effects from explosions. The Q-Ball E type is suitable for frameless explosion venting of low-strength designed mechanical conveyors, such as bucket elevators. It can handle explosion indices based on KSt values of up to 200 bar x m/s. The installation nominal diameter of the Q-Ball E type is designed to perfectly fit the standard sizes of mechanical conveyors like elevators. There is no need for flange adjustment work. The Q-Ball E type is lightweight, so reinforcement of the conveyor shaft is also unnecessary. A new frameless explosion venting principle has been developed for all surfaces, ensuring the Q-Ball E type provides the highest venting efficiency. As a result, it is possible to minimize the required explosion venting space.

Frame-less explosion vent for dynamic vibrating machines such as vibrating screens.

【Lightweight and High Dissipation Efficiency】 The Q-Ball S type guarantees safe indoor explosion dissipation within the operating area. It effectively cools the interior of the Q-Ball S type, preventing the effects of flame propagation and explosion pressure. The Q-Ball S type can accommodate up to 265 bar*m/s (Kst value) and is a frameless explosion dissipation outlet specially developed and customized for plant components with high dynamic requirements for vibration and oscillation. With its specially designed lower structure and minimal output-to-weight ratio, the Q-Ball S type can be directly mounted onto vibration systems. By applying the newly developed spherical extinguishing efficiency, there are no costs incurred for modifications or changes. The Q-Ball S type guarantees maximum dissipation efficiency while minimizing the required dissipation area.

Explosion venting port resistant to low to medium vacuum and pressure fluctuations.

The dome-shaped single-layer explosion vent type EDP is suitable for use in processes involving medium vacuum or overpressure (up to 70% of the minimum pressure (Pstat) when the explosion vent is open), as well as some pressure fluctuations. It is mainly suitable for air-filled devices, filters, cyclones, and containers that operate under strong vibrations. The standard burst pressure is 0.1 bar (22 °C). 【Mechanism】 As the pressure increases, the explosion vent will rupture at the designated rupture point at the specified pressure, releasing the pressure and flames from within the container or device to the outside.

**Seminar Overview** The construction industry faces many challenges, including a shortage of personnel, regulations on maximum working hours, and the need for efficiency improvements. Additionally, the transmission of skills due to an aging workforce has become a significant issue, with a high turnover rate among younger employees who are supposed to carry on these skills. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of turnover based on case studies and explain key points on how to reduce turnover rates by advancing IT integration.

**Seminar Overview** "Generative AI," which is gaining attention as a method for improving business efficiency and utilizing internal digital transformation (DX), can be influenced by the literacy of the employees using it, potentially increasing the burden of work instead. In this seminar, we will discuss the current challenges of generative AI while providing examples of how it can be used to enhance business efficiency. We will also explain how to utilize generative AI in a way that achieves efficiency without being dependent on the user's skills. We hope this will serve as a reference for considering the use of generative AI.

**Seminar Overview** The reality that young members leave their jobs due to miscommunication with their superiors occurs in every industry. This is also true in the construction industry. The long-standing issues of labor shortages, regulations on working hours, and the challenges of passing on skills due to an aging workforce are significant problems. However, the misalignment in communication with young employees, who are supposed to be receiving this knowledge, may actually worsen the situation. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of communication gaps as seen through case studies, and talk about methods for skill transfer, knowledge accumulation, and smooth internal communication using IT tools.
