Flame arresters are used in process industries to prevent propagation of flame from entering a vessel or a piping system during either emergency relief or normal operation.

Flame arresters are used at the opening of equipment or the exit side of a pressure relief device protecting equipment from overpressure. A flame can be triggered during emergency relief or normal operation. The flame arresters may also be installed in the piping connecting a system of enclosures. As the name implies, the flame arresters prevent the passage of flame but allows the flow of gas.

In this newsletter, Dilip Das presents a basic understanding of flame arresters, the codes and standards that must be followed, as well as the many types and designs available. He covers:

  • Application of Flame Arresters
  • Fundamentals of Flame Physics
  • Flame Arrester Codes and Standards
  • Flame Arrester Types and Design

Bonus!

This newsletter also includes access to a 34-minute video on the 2012 Reynosa gas explosion incident. Neil Prophet discusses potential causes leading to the incident and the importance of consequence modeling in process safety.

Have a great and safe day.
