Protection of Waste Water Treatment Plants
Wastewater treatment plants generate biogas during anaerobic digestion, which is routed to storage tanks, treatment units, gas pipelines, and utilization systems such as CHP units or flares. Each section is exposed to specific conditions, including pressure Pressure (gauge pressure) Pressure for which the value is equal to the algebraic difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure. fluctuations, vacuum situations, and the risk of flame propagation.
Pressure / Vacuum relief valves and Flame Arresters are installed on digesters, storage tanks, gas boosters, and flares. These Flame Arresters protect downstream equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. and prevent flame transmission, ensuring proper tank venting, effective emission control, and safe isolation of potential ignition sources.

Protection of
Landfill Plants
Landfill gas collection systems transport combustible gas from extraction points to utilization or flaring units, operating under varying flow rates and pressures and requiring protection against flashback Flashback Phenomenon occurring in a flammable mixture of air and gas when the local velocity of the combustible mixture becomes less than the flame velocity, causing the flame to travel back to the point of mixture. , deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity. , and endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. .
Protection includes in-line Deflagration and Detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave. Flame Arresters in gas lines and at flares. Equipment placement ensures safe gas transport and reduces the risk of flame propagation back into the collection network.
Highlights
The pressure vacuum relief valves which you have manufactured and delivered have ensured that we have highest level of safety at our facility and at the same time minimised emissions - therefor saving us a considerable amount of money from lost product.
