BS&B Explosion Suppression and Isolation Equipment
ESI provided and installed (49) BS&B explosion suppression and isolation cannons and (13) Triplex Explosion Pressure sensors at this major Ohio grain terminal facility.
The explosion suppression cannon modules propel an extinguishing agent into the developing fireball of an explosion. After an explosion has been successfully contained by discharge of the cannon modules, they can be refitted on-site. Components necessary for refit can be kept on-site without the need for special licensing for storage or handling. The original cannon and sensor modules can be refurbished, avoiding the need for a complete exchange of hardware. This capability significantly reduces the cost of ownership of the BS&B IPD explosion suppression system.

Replacement Leg Boots With Upgraded Safety Features
Do you have an old bucket elevator or conveyor that needs upgrading rather than a complete replacement?
ESI's highly experienced in-house design, fabrication and millwright professionals can replace key components of your material handling equipment, extending the life of your bucket elevators, conveyors, and much more... a great alternative to keep your facility running when the budget doesn't allow for a complete replacement.
For this project, ESI collected detailed field measurements on a pair of decades-old bucket elevators, fabricated custom replacements boots and installed them in a timely manner to limit facility downtime.
