Storagetech™ Flame Arrester
Crucial Part of Your Pipeline Operation Integrity
Safe, Reliable and Sustainable Flame Arrester systems are the heart and soul of any pipeline. Storagetech™ Flame Arresters provides ~ 30% less pressure drop compared to ordinary flame arresters with its unique technologies. PTFE coating paint, protects against weather conditions; increases life time, and decreases maintenance cost.They are the crucial part for the operation.
What is Flame Arrestors?
This type of flame arrester is installed on low-pressure storage processing tanks, bleed tanks, or other waste gas devices. Normally, they are installed on a vent nozzle mounted on a tank that is discharged directly into the atmosphere. They can also be incorporated as integral parts of conservation vents installed on atmospheric storage tanks containing flammable liquids. It should be noted that flame arresters are not always necessary as part of conservation vents. The gases produced by vaporization of many flammable liquids have similar flame speeds when mixed with air. Typical of these are gasoline, jet fuel, benzene, plastics monomers, and organic solvents. Often the pressure drop across the vent valve of a conservation vent is a ¾ inch (17mm) of water or more. In this case, the velocity of the gas flow through the vent-valve opening will be higher than the speed at which the flame can propagate upstream through the opening.
Sometimes it is desirable to install flame arresters in the middle of a long pipeline. They are particularly suited for installation inside a tank house where vent pipes or lines are extended through the tank house roof or walls to the outside. Locating the unit inside eliminates difficult inspections on the storage tank roof and protects the vent from the freezing of condensate. Combustion in a pipeline can readily make the transition from deflagration than detonation; in the case of some designs, a detonation can be stopped, whereas a deflagration may pass through. Therefore, an in-line flame arrester must withstand and stop both types of combustion from both downstream and upstream in a pipeline. Since the pressures developed in the combustion can be high, the in-line arrester and pipeline must be properly designed, constructed and tested. The flame arrester element itself must be capable of withstanding substantial pressure differentials in both directions as a result of the combustion.
According to the academic resources, the operating principle of Flame Arrestor was founded in 1815, England at the Royal Institution of England.
A committee of the English coal mining industry had needed for a protection method to prevent miners ‘oil lamps from causing explosions when flammable gas called firedamp seeped into the mine shafts.
It is in-line and specifically designed for pipeline systems.
It stops the fire, limits the spread of explosion and stops the propagation of a flame with its flame barrier that consists large number of defined passage gaps, whose gap cross section is set with regard to the properties of the flowing gas.
Flame and detonation arrester, although similar in construction, serve two very distinct purposes. There are mainly two types of flame arrester; detonation and deflagration. Detonation flame arrester is designed to overcome any sudden explosion impact in the pipeline, whereas deflagration is flame arrester is designed to block any fire flame in a particular location to stop fire to travel in the pipeline freely.
Storagetech technical team is experienced to choose which type of flame arrester is required for a particular application. Even though there are many factors to choose, mainly location, product stored, and pipeline/piping design plays an important role.
