Whether catering to the present Bloom Energy or Chandrayaan (India’s prestigious space project), BS&B has always been committed to providing 100% foolproof safety devices in critical application in high end technology industries.
BS&B Safety Systems (India) Ltd. has received a trial order for 200 assemblies of custom- engineered rupture disks from the Los Angeles based Bloom Energy’s local facility at Bangalore. These disks will

BS&B Safety Systems has bagged a prestigious order from Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited, a Government of India enterprise, worth Rs. 101.6 million for the fabrication and supply of rupture disk assemblies for steam generator inlet and outlet and downstream Cyclone Separator.
BS&B and Bhavini Project
The Fast Breeder Reactor Project coming up at Kalpakkam is to produce 500 Mwe of electricity besides enriching the existing fuel. The enriched fuel can be subsequently used by other heavy water based power plants. This is an important milestone in the history of nuclear development programme in India.
As a critical safety measure, rupture disks are located at the inlets and outlets of the steam
Based on the above experiments, BS&B Safety Systems (India) Ltd. has been awarded a prestigious order for the new 500 Mwe plant at a value of over Rs. 101.6 million. generator to ensure that in the event of such a contact, the disk will burst open and protect the entire plant. Rupture disks, which are exposed t o very hight emperatures, have to undergo s evere cyclic pressures. They were repeatedly tested at BS&B plant for a similar prototype project and the prototype plant subjected to actual condition and was in service for over a year.

BS&B Safety Systems, India along with BS&B Safety Systems, Asia Pacifi c participated in an International Conference & Exhibition, “Bulk Solids India 2010”, organised in Mumbai on 2-3 March 2010. The conference and exhibition, the fi rst of its kind in India, was a unique event which focussed on all aspects of storing, handling and processing bulk solids and powder materials, including their characterisation, handling, and transportation. BS&B’s stall displayed suppression and spark detection systems.
