Shown in the photo is Mirjalil Khamitovich Usmanov, the author of the idea of a heat flow attenuation method applied to design screens "Sogda"and one of designers of screens "Sogda" and devices based on them  

M. Kh. Usmanov is PhD in Physico-mathematical sciences (1980, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University), the Honoured Inventor and Rationalizer of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the academician of the Russian National Academy of the Fire Safety Science. In the period from 2002 to 2013, he was the head of the Research Fire Safety Centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan. He is the author of over 150 scientific publications, one monograph, has more than 20 patents for inventions (in Uzbekistan, Russia, China and other countries), the holder of these patents.

In 2004, M. Kh. Usmanov was awarded the Gold Medal of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

                                       The Certificate

In the name of the screens, the word "Sogda" originates from "Sogd" (the same as "Sogdiana"). It is an ancient historical region in Central Asia, and from the middle of the 1st millennium B. C., it is the State with its capital Marakanda (today it is Samarkand, the city in Uzbekistan).

 

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

According to the World Fire Statistics Centre, more than 7 million fires occur annually in the world. They killed from 65 to 75 thousand mans. In twenty most developed countries, the total losses from the fires and the cost of fire-fighting come to 1% of the cost of the gross national product.  

Our website presents information on screens "Sogda" and devices based on them, which are highly effective means for protection against the attack of heat radiation and flame of fires. The screens "Sogda" have been developed on the basis of patented method for attenuating heat flows.

The screens "Sogda" are capable to protect effectively against the heat radiation even on strong fires by reducing the density of heat flow to safe values. These screens also protect from the direct flame attack. The use of them make it possible to increase the effectiveness of extinguishing of fires and performing rescue-and-reconditioning works on the fires. 

The heat- and flame-protective properties of screens “Sogda” have not analogue:

  • These screens make it possible to come close or closely to the flame and even pass through it;

  • These screens can operate over an unlimited period under the attack of heat radiation and flame without altering their protective properties;

  • These screens allow to observe the situation in the zone of fire due to the use of net screening panels.

Pioneering trials of protective properties of experimental samples of screens «Sogda» were carried out in 1999 in Uzbekistan. In 2003, the designers of screens «Sogda» established "Yong'inTex" (LLС) and continued works on improving the screens «Sogda» and the devices based on them, as well as works on developing new models of screens and screen-based devices.  

The screens «Sogda» and the devices based on them have repeatedly been tested on fire-tactical exercises in Uzbekistan. They have been applied during the extinguishing of real fires, including the extinguishing of fire on a gas-gusher in Uzbekistan. At present, "Yong'inTex" is the manufacturer of screens «Sogda» and devices based on them in Uzbekistan.

In 2007, a Russian businessman V.Yu. Shimko established "SpecPozhTech" (LLC), which concluded a licensing agreement with the patent holder M.H. Usmanov to manufacture and sale of screens «Sogda» and devices based on them in Russia, as well as to sale them in some other countries. With the technical documentation of "Yong'inTex", "SpecPozhTech" put in production the screens «Sogda» and the devices based on them, and started works on their promotion to the Russian market of fire-equipment (advertising, participation in exhibitions of fire-equipment, demonstration of their fire-protective properties). The screens «Sogda» and the devices based on them have been received a high appraisal of Russian fire safety experts. At present, "SpecPozhTech" manufactures and sells the screens «Sogda» and the devices based on them in Russia.

The patented method for attenuating heat flows, which is used in the screens «Sogda», and technical solutions implemented in these screens have great potential in the field of fire safety of installations. For example, on their basis, a method and device for dispersing gas clouds, which form as a result of leakage of flammable and explosive heavy gases from above ground tanks, have been developed. This device has not disadvantages of existing devices for dispersing gas clouds (see “Devices based on screens”).

The screens «Sogda» and the devices based on them are able to significantly improve resistance of industrial facilities to the development of fire on ones, and they are indispensable for extinguishing strong fires. Designers of screens «Sogda» and devices based on them are ready to collaborate with all interested organizations, industrial works and private persons. 

  The method for attenuating heat flow, the screens "Sogda" and some devices based on them are patented. For information about the status of these patents at present, please contact the patent holder at m_usmanov@mail.ru
