are used in combination with flame arresters and in accordance with ISO 28300:2008 to prevent flames entering a tanks vapour space.
Our innovatively engineered range of Flame Arresters can be tailored to meet the specific and extremely demanding performance criteria required in an offshore environment. We promise to provide our customers with an unrivalled level of pre and post-installation support and our documentation service is second-to-none. In addition to providing the required levels of protection, the use of our products will deliver lower operating costs derived from enhanced performance yielding reduced clogging, downtime and maintenance.
Our highly qualified team of technical experts work closely with our global customers who include the oil majors, management contractors and production/oil service companies. For over 50 years, and with expertise gained in the challenging North Sea environment, we have helped determine their application-specific explosion protection and venting requirements utilising sophisticated Computational Fluid Dynamics to design bespoke solutions that can be verified using our state-of-the-art in-house test facilities.
Elmac’s Flame aArresters incorporate our industry-leading E-Flow™ technology that delivers higher rates of flow, lower pressure drop and reduced fouling characteristics. Our extensive range of unstable detonation arresters incorporates the patent-protected HEDS™ technology and offers protection in all explosion scenarios with no installation limitations. The patented protected lightweight ERB range of Flame Arresters facilitate the most cost effective solution for locations difficult to access. Our range of high performance Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves offer a unique PTFE sealing system designed to reduce product losses and maintenance with a best-in-class <1SCFH at 90% of set pressure.
Elmac’s products comply with all relevant industry standards including ATEX & ISO 16852 (Flame Arresters) and API2000/ISO28300 & NFPA30 (Venting & Storage of Combustible Vapours & Liquids).
