PROTEGO®
Breather Valves

Reduction of Vapour Emissions & Safe Plant Operation
In Pressure/vacuum relief valve Pressure/vacuum relief valve is an umbrella term that includes pressure or vacuum relief valve as well as pressure and vacuum relief valve. closed containers or tanks, managing pressure is crucial. PROTEGO® Pressure and Vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. Relief Valves ensure safe operations by releasing accumulated pressure and compensating for vacuum conditions.
Designed for processes like loading, unloading, steam cleaning, and thermal effects, they function as pressure relief, vacuum relief, or combined valves. Trusted by industries such as oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and bio-energy, PROTEGO® valves ensure safety and efficiency with innovative design and superior performance.

Zero Emissions with PROTEGO® Breather Valves
The extreme tightness of PROTEGO® Valves guarantees Zero Emission at Tank Operating Pressure.
Due to the highly developed manufacturing technology of PROTEGO® valves the tank pressure Tank pressure Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank. is maintained up to set pressure Set pressure Set pressure is the gauge pressure at the device inlet at which the relief device is set to start opening under service conditions. with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard. According to the PROTEGO® Standard PS-001 leak rates are measured at 90% of the set pressure. This testing ensures PROTEGO® Valves exceed the most stringent leakage rate Leak rate Measure of the amount of substance (liter per second) flowing through a leak in the fitting. requirements of EPA, API2000 and EN ISO 28300.
To meet the goal of emission reduction, PROTEGO® full

Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure.
technology. This technology provides very short opening and closing pressure ranges. The vent only requires 10% overpressure above the set pressure to reach full performance. The tank pressure is maintained up to just below the maximum permissible tank pressure.
PROTEGO® 10% full-lift technology vents are a major benefit to emission reduction and to safe process plant operation.
The pressure vacuum relief valves which you have manufactured and delivered have ensured that we have highest level of safety at our facility and at the same time minimised emissions - therefor saving us a considerable amount of money from lost product.
Application Examples for PROTEGO® Breather Valves
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 and Tank 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. , now with the help of more than 750 employees worldwide.
