REMBE, a leader in explosion safety, has launched its comprehensive Explosion Safety Wiki, a free online resource dedicated to educating industry professionals and the public on the critical concepts of explosion prevention and protection. The wiki serves as a vital guide for understanding regulatory requirements and implementing effective safety measures in industrial plants worldwide. Serious and costly hazard Industrial explosions are a serious and costly hazard. The history of industrial accidents shows that explosions in unprotected plants can lead to immense structural and financial damage, often driving companies to bankruptcy. Even if nobody is harmed, every hour of lost production costs money and puts the company’s existence at risk. For example, the most severe explosion in German history occurred in 1921 at BASF in Ludwigshafen, resulting in 561 fatalities. Industrial plants must be protected against the consequences of explosions to ensure employee safety and quick resumption of production. Explosion safety concepts can dramatically reduce or even eliminate production downtime. Causes of an industrial explosion Understanding what causes an industrial explosion. Explosions occur when

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are transforming our energy landscape – and REMBE® is pushing the boundaries of their protection. No two BESS are identical, and each requires its own tailored approach. Drawing on over 50 years of explosion protection expertise, we are leading the way in developing protection solutions that balance safety requirements with commercial objectives. Our integrated approach leverages multiple layers of safety, combining options for early detection and combustible concentration reduction with optimized deflagration vents to safeguard next-generation BESS installations. REMBE offers a comprehensive range of products that help safeguard BESS against explosions. Three distinct product series enable optimal solutions for any BESS installation, each bringing unique advantages to your project. The BESS Core Venting Series delivers efficient roof venting through our proven EGV products. Engineering excellence meets customization – each product is precisely tailored to customer specifications, from size and burst pressure to insulation materials and properties. This series offers proven protection with attractive volume pricing. Innovation

In addition to numerous new products and innovations, the REMBE team surprised visitors to the world’s largest chemical exhibition with a world première. For the first time, an explosion was triggered by pure muscle power. The predestined candidate for this mission was REMBE brand ambassador and multiple Olympic medallist Robert Förstemann. Förstemann is a track cyclist and sprinter and, with his 80cm thigh circumference, has enough strength to pedal for 60 seconds at more than 600 watts on an ergometer. The energy generated was enough to cause a bursting disc to burst. The spectacle thrilled several thousand exhibition visitors from all over the world. Especially impressed is CEO Stefan Penno by his young and dynamic team at the exhibition stand: ”Everyone here didn’t just do their best, they gave their all and that leaves a very, very good impression on our visitors and customers.” The Brilon-based company expects that the order books will continue to fill up after the exhibition and that all the hard work will pay off.

After fifty years of business, people often look back at the history, at old pictures, brochures and reports. But in REMBE’s anniversary year things are different... Because here (today just as 50 years ago) it is the people who shape the corporate spirit and make REMBE what it is today. Stefan Penno, Chief Executive Officer REMBE GmbH Safety+Control explains: ”We trust each other, see the best in people and believe in each person’s individual strengths. Because humans are what matters to us.” Bernhard Penno founded the company in 1973 as a sales office for rupture discs – initially as a one-man business in his garage at home. Just a few years later, new rupture disc designs were being manufactured in the company’s first production hall. In 2005, Stefan Penno, the son of the company founder, took the reins of the business. Today, REMBE employs 340 ”RFM” (REMBE family members) in over 90 countries and with 10 subsidiaries. To mark its anniversary year, REMBE has come up with some ”special activities”. This year’s celebrations are entirely in keeping with the above motto. They will start with an international

The globally increasing environmental influences and weather extremes prompted REMBE engineers to test the protective effect of REMBE explosion vents also against weather-related water and air permeability. Particularly in plants and processes with high demands on water and air tightness, explosion vents that are directly exposed to weather conditions due to their installation position often represent a potential point of entry and thus a hazard for the bulk materials themselves. REMBE therefore applies what is legally required for construction elements such as windows and doors to the various explosion vents in the explosion protection area. Within the framework of large-scale weather simulations, the REMBE explosion vent types ODV, EDP, EGV-HYP, as well as the new vent duct cover KAD-LIC have been tested for their properties of air permeability, watertightness and their resistance to wind load. BS EN 14351-1, the product standard for windows and doors, served as the basis and classification. Impressive weather resistance The results of the weathering test are extremely impressive. A comparison of the test results with real weather conditions shows that storms with

Explosion isolation is absolutely essential for comprehensive explosion protection. Without isolation, an explosion safety concept is not only incomplete, but is also a waste of money for operators as: In almost every production facility, individual plant components are interconnected by means of pipelines. The purpose of explosion isolation is to seal these pipelines in the event of an explosion to prevent the propagation of pressure and flames, thereby protecting the adjacent plant components. Precompression and flame jet ignition increase the severity of the explosion in the connected vessels. This leads to secondary explosions that can cause even more catastrophic damage.Isolation systems prevent an explosion from propagating, thereby reducing the effects of the explosion to a minimum. Adjacent system components are optimally protected. Explosion Isolation System Q-Bic The explosion isolation system Q-Bic registers the emerging explosion and extinguishes the developing explosion flames within milliseconds by applying the extinguishing powder. The extinguishing powder is optimally distributed in the pipeline via a nozzle system and guarantees reliable isolation.
