Polymerizing Substances
Storage tanks with polymerizing substances like styrene, acrylates, and monomers need coordinated protection due to vapor accumulation Accumulation Pressure increase over the MAWP of the vessel allowed during discharge through the pressure-relief device. and pressure fluctuations, with explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. risks. PROTEGO® Systems provide state-of-the-art pressure and vacuum relief and explosion protection Explosion protection An explosion protection is a flame arrester that prevents flame propagation into plant sections to be protected during explosions. for these challenging applications, managing risks and ensuring reliable tank breathing, minimizing vapor release, and preventing flame transmission.

Protection of Storage Tanks
for Bitumen
Bitumen storage requires continuous heating, which complicates venting and relief 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. . Elevated temperatures and pressure must be managed safely.
PROTEGO® solutions include heat jacketed Pressure Vacuum Relief Valves to prevent solidification of product droplets in the vapor stream, ensuring venting reliability. Heated in-line Detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave (EN 1127-1: 1997). Flame Arresters Flame Arresters A flame arrester, deflagration arrester, or flame trap is a device or form of construction that will allow free passage of a gas or gaseous mixture but will interrupt or prevent the passage of flame. provide explosion protection compatible with high-temperature environments, allowing safe tank breathing and prolonged operation.
