Vapor Combustion Systems

Flares can ignite flammable vapors, necessitating robust flame protection for upstream piping and 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. . Detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave. protection prevents flame transmission at flare connections. Emergency vent stacks have pressure Pressure (gauge pressure) Pressure for which the value is equal to the algebraic difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure. and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. relief designed for deflagration safety and endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. , ensuring safe operation even during upset events.
For gasholders, an endurance-burning protective cap above the diaphragm Diaphragm A diaphragm is a thin layer of material, which has a large surface area. safeguard against abnormal ignition exposure.
