Casual Articles - Safety for Your Production: Spark Detection Systems Reduce Your Risk of Fires and Explosions
FIRST IMPRESSIONS CAN KEEP YOU FROM OPPORTUNITIESMost people can identify situations in which they dismissed an opportunity that someone else capitalized on later. Often these opportunities were overlooked or rejected because they were perceived as dull, boring, or unpleasant. You may recall the fairy tale of "The Ugly Duckling." It is the story of a cast-off baby bird that is mistreated because it is unattractive to the young ducklings raised with it. Much to everyone's surprise the ugly duckling develops into a beautiful swan. Thus, what we call the unattractiveness stall prevents people from seeing potential because they make judgments based on insufficient knowledge.As you contemplate this point, it is worth remembering that if Alexander Fleming had been unwilling to work with the unpleasant green mold that affects stale bread, the world might not yet have the wonder drug penicillin and its heirs.DON'T TAKE MY PICTURE, I'll Break the CameraThe Taj MahalAll too frequently, management becomes engrossed in creating posh office space. Having feathered their nests, executives avoid the ugly duckling sites that need attention.In many companies, distribution is one such ugly duckling. Trucks and loading docks excite few corporate chieftains. Yet Wal-Mart struck gold by focusing on fast deliveries through warehouses serving constellations of stores. As a result of its efficiency, Wal-Mart can offer lower prices and attract more value-seeking customers.The Ivory TowerExecutives dislike dealing with customer complaints. In fact, very few top-level executives will talk with unhappy customers. Junior people deal with those problems. Fearing that the bearer of bad news may pay a heavy price, workers often sugarcoat customer unhappiness or badly conceal it.STALL ERASERSLosses Are Uglier Than the Dumpster's ContentsOne open-minded CEO ran a
To protect such a system, all extraction ducts as well as the conveying duct to the material storage should be equipped with spark detection and extinguishment systems.
How can you take Preventive Measures?
Protection can be achieved by installing a modern spark detection and extinguishment system. The sensors detect sparks and glowing embers immediately after their creation. Upon detection and evaluation, countermeasures are induced immediately in order to eliminate the causes of a fire or an explosion.
Let’s compare fire extinguishment systems with spark detection and extinguishment systems. Fire extinguishing systems combat fire after it has come to life, consuming material and air thus producing smoke and damage. A spark detection and extinguishment system eliminates one of the three elements (the ignition source) before it becomes a fire. In this way there is no fire, no smoke, and no damage.
Spark detection and extinguishment systems are able to detect even the smallest of sparks or hot particles in extract
There are varied types of small laser cutting machines depending on the type of laser cutting job that you want.You can cut carbon steel with a CO2 laser. The laser is a device that can produce a coherent and concentrated light beam through stimulation of molecular or electronic transitions to lower levels of energy that cause photons to be emitted. Laser is short for ?light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.?Acrylic panels that are cut by laser can be turned into shapes and signs that can be used for lettering outside the building or even inside through laser-cut graphics. There are graphic designers of laser cutting companies that can set up any file to make it ready for laser cutting.These companies supply products that are laser cut for use by builders, architects, commercial and building designers, floor layers, and other companies specializing in industrial design. You can either set up a meeting with these experts or you can email them for suggestions and advice on the best laser cutting materials and methods.Commercial building designers are supplied with laser cut panel systems made from aluminum for under boards and eaves. The aluminum laser cut shapes and styles are used by designers of display systems.Laser cut signs and letters that are dimensional and custom-cut and can build your corporate identity in stores, reception areas, and showrooms. You can even integrate in a cost-effective manner letters and other components into your displays and signage. It also speeds up your fabrication, even in large volumes of work.Plasma cutting involves burning the materials. The edge finishing is perfect for materials such as acrylic since the laser beam polishes and cuts at the same time. Other materials will either discolor or melt while others can be cut in a precise manner.So take your pick from various laser cutting tools available on t
Where do Spark Streams appear?
Spark streams in dust collection systems are a very common danger. They are not easily detected and this means that they may exist but are not known! Consequently, attention is paid to a spark stream only when it is too late, namely when there has been an explosion or a fire.
When working with industrial machinery, sparks are created very quickly. A blunt tool, a damaged bearing in the fan, an overheated motor or foreign body within the material can be the cause.
Sparks are a constant danger in those factories where combustible materials are being worked, exhausted, transported, filtered or dried.
The damage statistics provided by the insurance companies point out that filters, dust collection bins, silos and even complete production lines are the areas of a plant at greatest risk. Foreign bodies in the conveyed material, defective parts of the production machinery, friction processes as well as electrical sparks are all identified as fire generating. Here are the main danger areas known:
- Fiber and Particle Board Industry: The fiber and particle board processing as well as the further processing of the panels by sawing and sanding
- Wood-Working Factories: Working of materials by means of saws, planers, mortisers, hoggers, sanders and other wood working machines
- Chemical Industry: Pneumatic conveyors of dusts and powders
- Foodstuff Industry: e.g. Coffee roasting, tobacco processing and pneumatic conveying of powders
The spark itself is not dangerous. Here’s why: For the creation of fires or explosions there must be three elements that are combined simultaneously: a combustible material, oxygen and an ignition source. Removal of one of the elements will prevent a fire or explosion.
In today’s production plants, we have to cope with all elements that can lead to fire damage or cause an explosion. Extraction systems and pneumatic conveyors increase the danger of fire. Once sparks and glowing embers are created, the pneumatic extraction system conveys this danger very quickly to other subsequent areas of the plant. The danger is when two of the three elements necessary for the creation of fires and explosions are transported, namely: air and ignition sources (sparks).
When this conveyed danger meets combustible materials (filter cloth, deposited and combustible dust in a separator or silo) it becomes more and more likely that a reaction will happen.
Environmental protection measures regarding dust emissions and tightened regulations for air pollution led to an increased use of filter systems, but the danger of dust explosions has not been reduced. In the process of drying, the dryer capacities have been steadily increased so that prevention of fires in these systems has become more important than ever.
What happens after a filter fire? Environmental regulations prohibit plant operation without the filter system. The plant will not only have the cost of repairing the damaged filter system caused by fire but also absorb the extremely high loss of a production shutdown.
According to individual reports, these production losses can exceed the damage costs many times over.
The risk of fire can be efficiently reduced or eliminated by means of modern spark detection and extinguishment systems.
Returned air to the plant also requires spark detection and extinguishment systems. Due to the high amount of material now collected in the dust filter systems, in certain circumstances clean air is allowed to be returned to the production buildings. Enormous savings in heating energy are achieved in this way. A filter fire, however, could quickly be transferred to the production area with devastating consequences.

If you are in business for yourself you know how important it is to get good business advice.When I first started out in business at the age of 20 I knew nothing about business and what was involved.I had always been a bit of an entrepreneur, I used to sell bits and bobs to school friends and I was always thinking of new ways to make money.When I left school my father advised me to get a trade, so I trained as a Plumber, and hated very minute of it. I was working for slave wages and getting all the dirty jobs that no one else wanted to do. I stuck at it for 4 years until I finally decided to pack it in. I got on a plane and went to seek my Fortune in Canada.3 months later I was back in the UK without a job and very little money. I always new I wanted to start my own business so now was a good time to start.My uncle had a small business and I had worked for him part time from the age of about 15. He was really the only person I knew who had a business, so i turned to him for advice. He recommended that I go and see his accountant for a chat. I made an appointment and a few weeks later I was self employed as a Plumber.For the next few years my accountant and my uncle were always available to give me free business advice. But not everyone has access to an uncle or a good accountant who can give them free advice. That is why after 21 years in business I have decided to set up E Business Advisors. Its a new Forum offering free advice to anyone who is in business or looking to start up in business. Our aim is to build a network of advisors on hand 24/7 to give free advice on all aspects of running a business. So if you need free business advice please check out our Forum at E Business Advisors It may be the difference between success and failure.

Business incorporation is a form of legal arrangement open to any business. There are advantages and disadvantages to the corporate form of business which is why you need to consult with your lawyer and accountant to determine if incorporation is the form that you require. The differences refer to liability and taxes. The profits of a corporation are taxed at the corporate profits tax rate. The part of corporate profits that the stockholder, or owner, receives is called dividends. The stockholder pays taxes on the dividends at the individual tax rate. Therefore, dividends are a part of corporate profits that are subject to double taxation. This is one of the disadvantages of the corporation.A corporation is a legal entity in its own right. It has all of the legal rights and responsibilities of a legal person. It is responsible for its own debts. This means that the corporation’s credits can not file against the assets of the stockholder, only against the assets of the corporation. The most the stockholder can lose is the cost of his stock. He cannot lose more than what he paid for the stock because he cannot be held personally responsible for the debts of the corporation.Incorporation of a business take place in accordance with the rules and laws of the state the incorporation is in. You don’t have to incorporate in the state in which you live. Most big corporation incorporated in Delaware because Delaware used to have the most favorable laws for corporations. Today, Nevada and Delaware offer the most favorable incorporation laws. Nevada is a friendly state for incorporating in because it doesn’t tax corporate profits or franchises. It also affords corporate stockholder privacy and liability protection because the stockholders do not have to be on public record. Delaware offers low incorporation fees, low franchise taxes and no state tax on the profits on the corporation. I

Fire extinguishing systems combat fire after it has come to life, consuming material and air thus producing smoke and damage. A spark detection and extinguishment system eliminates one of the three elements (the ignition source) before it becomes a fire. In this way there is no fire, no smoke, and no damage.
Spark detection and extinguishment systems are able to detect even the smallest of sparks or hot particles in extraction ducts, drop chutes or mechanical conveyors, and to instantly trigger countermeasures. Countermeasures can be: activation of an extinguishing system, diverting the transport path or interrupting the production. All these measures are taken within a split second.
Detection of the ignition source is made by means of spark sensors recognizing the infrared radiation of sparks and glowing particles. These sensitive spark sensors are even capable of detecting sparks through layers of dust or through the conveyed dense material flow. The sensors give alarm signals to the control console, which processes the signals and activates the appropriate countermeasures automatically. Normally an extinguishing device is triggered, which is installed downstream from the spark detectors. This device releases a mist of water in the duct section where the sparks are transported. When no additional sparks are detected, the extinguishment spray is automatically stopped. While the extinguishment takes place, the production process can continue unless otherwise desired. Due to this special operation principle, spark detection and extinguishment systems are classified differently than sprinkler systems, deluge systems, or even explosion suppression systems.
The Control Console
The centerpiece of a spark extinguishing system is the control console.
All signals given by the spark sensors installed in different plant areas are being accumulated and processed by a microprocessor. The extinguishing devices of the affected areas are activated without any delay.
A practical fire protection concept also considers the demand for an almost uninterrupted production. The use of microprocessor technique including the corresponding software results in new possibilities to react on sparks. Integrated counters and time recording systems allow an exact assessment of the spark stream. A graded use of the existing countermeasures is then possible.
For example, single sparks are only extinguished, but for heavy flow of sparks or when single ignition sources are detected over a longer period, further measures like machine shut down of the affected plant sections have to be taken. Diversion of the material transport is also possible using fast-acting abort gates.
The microelectronics has many other advantages.
Ease of Operation
Where once little lamps indicated a flow of sparks, the trouble message is now displayed in clear text. Important functions and all alarms are displayed clearly. The buttons on the keypad light up and provide visual information.
Integrated Memory
Thousands of events are stored so that important information is not lost. This enables analysis of alarms at any time:
- When exactly did the spark stream happen?
- How heavy was the spark stream?
- How long did the extinguishment action last?
- Where exactly did the spark stream appear?
- When was the system out of action?
- When and where did troubles appear?
Automatic Function Checks
To ensure cables are functioning correctly, they are constantly checked for open and short circuit conditions. In addition, spark sensor function tests are performed regularly and automatically. Extinguishing device function tests can be performed manually from the control console.
The Spark Detector
The most important component of a spark detection and extinguishment system is the spark detector. To suit the different and often very severe applications, three different types of sensors are used. All three sensor types have highly sensitive electronics which detect even the smallest of glowing particles.
Spark Detector FM 1/8
The FM 1/8 detector features reliable function even in very dense material flow or when a dust layer covers the optical element. It can be used at material temperatures up to 149°F (65°C), which corresponds to a tempe
