Ammonia Storage Tanks
In ammonia service, rapid thermal shifts and operating transients can generate both overpressure and vacuum conditions. An engineered system of PROTEGO® pilot operated relief valves, vacuum valves and in-tank valves offer durable, low emission pressure protection measures.
For interconnected vent lines, a detonation arrester can be used to prevent flame propagation following potential vapor ignition from sources such as a flare.
Highlights
Protection of LNG
Storage Tanks
LNG storage requires reliable management of overpressure and vacuum conditions due to rapid temperature changes. This concept offers controlled pressure relief and high-capacity vacuum protection for stable tank conditions during normal and upset events. Detonation Detonation Explosion, die sich mit Überschallgeschwindigkeit fortpflanzt, gekennzeichnet durch eine Stoßwelle. protection in the connected line prevents flame transmission, ensuring safe and compliant LNG storage.
Highlights
Higher uptime & lower losses
Ethylene Storage Tanks
Ethylene storage tanks need reliable pressure and vacuum control, plus effective explosion safeguards for piping. This concept combines high-capacity pressure relief and responsive vacuum relief for stable conditions during normal and upset events.
In-line detonation protection prevents flame transmission, ensuring a safe and compliant system.
Propylene Storage Tanks
Propylene service faces rapid thermal shifts, high vapor pressure, and operating transients that can cause overpressure and vacuum conditions. This concept offers controlled pressure relief, responsive vacuum protection, and emergency relief for abnormal events. Detonation protection prevents flame transmission through piping, while inert gas blanketing stabilizes the annular space and reduces flammable atmosphere risks, ensuring safe and compliant operation.
Highlights
Protection of LIN LOX LAR Storage Tanks
In LIN, LOX, and LAR cryogenic storage, stable tank conditions are crucial due to low temperatures and rapid pressure changes. This concept provides controlled pressure and vacuum relief, plus emergency pressure relief for normal and upset events. A fast-acting bottom drain function enhances safety during draining and maintenance, ensuring tank integrity and compliant storage.
LPG Storage Tanks
LPG storage requires effective control of pressure and vacuum conditions, combined with safeguards against flame transmission. The application concept incorporates Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valves, In-Tank Valves, and in-line Detonation Flame Arresters to support stable operation and protect the tank during both routine service and abnormal conditions.
