Protection of vapor combustion systems, furnaces, thermal oxidizer and boilers
Vapor combustion systems require reliable flame protection in the feed line to prevent flame flashback into upstream vapor piping. Temperature-monitored deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). protection is installed at the maximum allowable distance from the ignition source Ignition source Any source with enough energy to initiate combustion. , based on the required length to diameter ratio.
Parallel installation arrangements are used to maintain system availability during servicing or emergency switchover. When endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. is detected, the parallel configuration allows rapid transfer, keeping the system protected while remaining operational.
This approach supports controlled vapor flow while reducing the risk of flame transmission into upstream piping networks.
Protection of Flares
Flares can act as ignition sources for flammable vapors, making robust flame protection essential for upstream piping and connected equipment. Detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave (EN 1127-1: 1997). protection is applied at elevated or ground flare connections to prevent flame transmission back into the vapor system.
Emergency vent stacks are equipped with pressure and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. relief designed to be deflagration-safe and capable of endurance burning. This supports safe breathing during normal operation as well as during upset events.
For gasholders, detonation protection is applied in the gas supply line. An endurance-burning protective cap is installed above the diaphragm Diaphragm A diaphragm is a thin layer of material, which has a large surface area. to help safeguard the gasholder during abnormal ignition exposure.
