Pipe Vent Flame Arrester
Pipe vent flame arrester is a safety device installed on the vent of a pipeline to prevent the propagation of flames and explosions. It allows gases or vapors to pass through while stopping the flame front, thus preventing fire or explosion from spreading into the system.
Maintenance:
. Regular Inspection: Periodic checks to ensure the flame quenching element is free from blockages and corrosion.
. Cleaning: Cleaning the arrester to maintain its effectiveness, especially in environments with heavy particulate matter.
Overview
Features:
Flame Quenching Mechanism: The flame arrester utilizes a flame quenching element, often consisting of a series of narrow passages or a mesh, which cools the flame front to below its ignition point.
Material: Typically made from stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability and longevity.
Design: Can be unidirectional or bidirectional, depending on the application requirements.
Sizes: Available in various sizes to accommodate different pipeline diameters.
Applications:
Petrochemical Industry: Used in pipelines carrying flammable gases or vapors.
Storage Tanks: Installed on the vents of storage tanks containing volatile liquids.
Marine Applications: Used on ship pipelines and vents to prevent onboard explosions.
Gas Processing: Utilized in gas processing plants to ensure safety.
Maintenance:
Regular Inspection: Periodic checks to ensure the flame quenching element is free from blockages and corrosion.
Cleaning: Cleaning the arrester to maintain its effectiveness, especially in environments with heavy particulate matter.
