Romão Tecnologias’ Flame Arresters are critical safety devices designed to prevent the spread of flames in systems handling flammable gases and vapors. In industrial environments where the presence of combustible substances is constant, the ability to contain a flame and prevent a chain explosion is of paramount importance for operational safety and the protection of lives and assets.
A Flame Arrester is a device that allows the passage of a gas mixture but prevents the transmission of a flame. It works through a flame arresting element (typically a matrix of narrow channels or a metal mesh) that absorbs the heat from the flame, cooling it below its ignition temperature and extinguishing it before it can spread to an area where the fuel-air mixture is present. This mechanism is vital for protecting tanks, pipelines, and process equipment against deflagrations (subsonic flame propagation) or detonations (supersonic flame propagation).
Our Flame Arresters are designed and manufactured in strict compliance with ISO 16852 (Flame arresters – Performance requirements, test methods and limits for use). This international standard establishes performance requirements and testing methods for flame arresters, ensuring that our products provide the necessary protection against flame propagation in various applications.
Romão Tecnologias’ Flame Arresters are constructed with high-quality materials such as stainless steel and are designed to withstand the most demanding temperature and pressure conditions. Their robust construction and precision manufacturing ensure the device’s effectiveness in critical situations.
Our flame arresters are effective against both deflagrations and detonations, providing superior protection in pipeline systems and tanks. This is crucial for safety in industries dealing with highly reactive gases and vapors.
Compliance with ISO 16852 ensures that our flame arresters have undergone rigorous performance testing, proving their ability to extinguish flames and prevent propagation, offering a level of safety validated by an international standard.
They can be applied in ducts (in-line), protecting specific sections of pipelines, and in tanks (end-of-line), installed in ventilation lines to protect the interior of the reservoir from flame entry. This versatility allows flexible integration into various industrial plant layouts.
By preventing flame transmission, the flame arresters drastically reduce the risk of secondary explosions and cascading accidents, protecting plant infrastructure and worker safety.
Manufactured with corrosion and heat-resistant materials, our flame arresters have a long service life and require minimal maintenance, ensuring reliable and continuous performance.
