What CV Technology does
CV Technology is a privately held designer, manufacturer, and system integrator of engineered fire and explosion protection solutions for industrial facilities handling combustible dust. Founded in 1994 by Martin Cvetas and headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, the company serves Fortune 500 process operators across food and agriculture, wood and biomass, and chemical and plastics verticals, with growing reach into Central and South America. Its portfolio is organized around four integrated categories — prevention (spark and multi-gas detection), explosion protection (venting, flameless venting, chemical suppression, and isolation), fire protection (water mist and water spray quick suppression), and isolation valves — unified by NFPA 67/68/69/91/652/654/655 compliance, third-party ATEX/FM/CE certifications, and custom-engineered designs for specific process conditions.
The core technology stack centers on the proprietary Interceptor product family (VE, FV, SG, HRD, QR, LT, EV, BD, QV), supported by the Conex intelligent controller, DetEx pressure detector with Floating Zero Technology, and LumEx optical detector for chemical suppression systems. The company integrates the Firefly AB Eximio platform — a 20+ year strategic partnership — for spark detection, multi-gas detection (including an AI-algorithm-based MGD electronic nose), water-based quick suppression, and the Eximio-C control unit with ProAct data analytics. Notable technical differentiators include high-rate discharge (HRD) suppression at 800+ psi nitrogen pressure, the patented Interceptor-QV flameless venting quench valve, and NFPA 69-compliant isolation valves with sub-second response times.
Revenue is generated through quote-based sale of proprietary explosion protection equipment combined with custom engineering, design, and system integration services. Distribution is exclusively direct, led by multi-disciplined engineers who conduct on-site facility assessments before designing solutions. The company compounds revenue via NFPA-driven compliance demand, a global installed base of Fortune 500 customers, and recurring inspection and re-certification work on integrated protection systems.

CV Technology product offering
Product offeringCore offering
CV Technology designs, manufactures, and integrates engineered fire and explosion protection solutions for facilities that handle combustible dust. Their portfolio includes the Interceptor product family of explosion isolation valves, flameless vents, and chemical suppression systems, complemented by the Firefly Eximio spark detection and gas detection systems for prevention. All systems are custom-engineered to each customer's specific application and process conditions.
Product overview
CV Technology provides a comprehensive portfolio of engineered fire and explosion protection solutions for combustible dust hazards, spanning four integrated categories: Prevention (spark detection and gas detection via the Firefly Eximio system), Explosion Protection (explosion venting, flameless venting, chemical suppression, and explosion isolation), Fire Protection (water mist and water spray quick suppression), and isolation valves. The core product lines include the Interceptor series (VE, FV, SG, HRD, QR, LT, EV, BD, QV) covering isolation valves, flameless vents, and suppression components, supported by the Conex Controller and DetEx/LumEx detectors for chemical suppression systems, and the Eximio-C system for fire prevention. The portfolio is unified by shared NFPA compliance standards, third-party ATEX/FM certifications, and the ability to be custom-engineered and integrated for specific facility processes.

Products and services
- Interceptor-QV Quench Valve A patented passive explosion isolation quench valve using a stainless steel mesh cartridge to extinguish deflagrations in clean air lines. Monitors pressure differential across the cartridge and includes an integrated thermocouple for thermal event indication, designed for industrial facilities handling combustible dust.
- Interceptor-VE Pinch Valve NFPA 69 compliant isolation pinch valve using a natural rubber bladder inflated by compressed air from high-speed solenoid valves to rapidly close upon signal from pressure detector, optical detector, or explosion vent. The evolved version delivers 20% faster response time for industrial explosion isolation applications.
- Interceptor-SG Slide Gate Valve Air-operated slide gate valve compliant with NFPA 69. Normally open device with pneumatic cylinders that lock the valve shut upon receiving a pressure detector signal. Stainless steel bore ideal for food-grade applications, quickly rearmable in the field.
- Interceptor-FV Flap Valve NFPA 69 compliant passive flap-style isolation valve. Painted carbon steel body with mechanically retained open flap. Closes and locks shut when pressure wave from deflagration hits from either direction, available up to 32 inches in size with low pressure drops.
- Ventex Float Valve NFPA 69 compliant passive isolation float valve with painted carbon steel body and floating disc. Closes when deflagration pressure wave slams the disc shut, ideal for light dust loading or clean air isolation applications.
