With the goal of protecting process units PROTEGO® defl agration flame arresters are state-of-the-art safety devices that are used in systems handling explosive mixtures to mitigate deflagrations. They reliably suppress the effect of a deflagration in the pipelines near a potential ignition source, extinguish the flame, and protect systems that cannot withstand the pressure of an explosion. In cases where a stable flame can continue on the flame arrester element, in-line deflagration flame arresters only provide protection for a limited time. If this time can be exceeded, an additional measure has to be provided for mixtures that continue to flow continuously.
 
Preferred Applications
Protection of pipelines; containers in chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical processing systems; loading systems; gas collection systems; exhaust combustion systems; flare systems; landfills and biogas systems and sewage treatment plants.
