ABSTRACT:
A method and a system are provided for preventing explosions within solid waste disposal facilities having a shredder, a shredder infeed conveyor, a shredder discharge conveyor, a trough conveyor, and a boiler. The system includes a gas sensor, a foam generator and associated nozzles, and gas dilution fans. The foam nozzles are positioned adjacent to the trough conveyor and are actuated when a signal is generated by the gas sensor. The foam acts as a fire and explosion break between the shredder and all subsequent areas of the facility.
