PROTEGO®
Deflagration Flame Arresters, end-of-line
Stop flame transmission at the vent before it reaches your tank
PROTEGO® End-of-line Deflagration Flame Arresters Deflagration flame arrester Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a deflagration. It can be an end-of-line flame arrester or an in-line flame arrester. are installed on vent lines of tanks, vessels, and plant 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. to prevent flame transmission caused by atmospheric deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity. , short-time burning, or endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. .
Designed for the up and downstream oil and gas, petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, offshore, marine and bio-energy industries, the range covers a wide variety of types, designs, sizes, and materials, with customized solutions for non-standard substances and applications.
Highlights of PROTEGO® End-of-line Flame Arresters
How It Works
When a flammable vapour cloud ignites at a vent outlet, the flame can propagate back into the
vessel
Vessel
Container or structural envelope in which materials are processed, treated or stored.
. End-of-line flame arresters stop this flame at the vent opening.
At the core is the PROTEGO® FLAMEFILTER®, a precision-gapped disc system that quenches flames by dissipating heat faster than combustion can sustain.

range:
- Atmospheric deflagration-proof, short time burning Short time burning Stabilized burning for a specific time. -proof, endurance burning-proof, or vent caps
- Explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group of the processed mixture
- Standard or special operating conditions with higher temperatures
The PROTEGO® devices are working to our utmost satisfaction. PROTEGO® - who, with their technical expertise, supported in reducing the overall life cycle cost of the Detonation Flame Arresters installed at our plant by installing flame arresters, which are easy to clean and maintenance-friendly.
Application Examples for PROTEGO® End-of-line Flame Arresters
We provide engineered safety solutions.
Since 1954, PROTEGO® has built and provided Flame Arresters Flame arrester Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. , Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valves Pressure and vacuum relief valve A pressure and vacuum relief valve is a pressure equalization valve for impermissible pressure and vacuum in a closed system. and Tank Equipment, now with the help of more than 750 employees worldwide.
Key Features and Design Characteristics
- Gap size and configuration optimized to the explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group
- Covers IIA to IIC
- Atmospheric Deflagration
- Short-time burning
- Endurance burning
Deflagration and short time burning proof end-of-line Flame Arresters are equipped with a temperature sensor Temperature sensor Temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature. which detects a stabilized flame on the flame arrester element. If a flame is detected, measures have to be taken to extinguish the flame and prevent endurance burning in accordance to international standards.
