Hazardous-Area Gas Handling & Overpressure Protection

Hazardous-Area Gas Handling & Overpressure Protection

One partner for the whole gas train.

Where flammable gas, classified areas and pressurized vessels come together, the equipment protecting your people and your plant usually comes from four or five different manufacturers - and coordinating them falls on you.

We quote the whole stack. Flow measurement, overpressure protection, detection, and electrical protection from one rep, with one point of accountability when something needs attention.

What we cover

Overpressure protection and flashback prevention Flame arrestors, pressure/vacuum relief valves, and tank vapor safety equipment for storage tanks, digesters, gas headers and vapor recovery systems. Available in Tennessee and North Alabama.

Fixed gas detection Methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen deficiency and toxic gas monitoring for blower buildings, enclosures, confined spaces and process areas.

Hazardous-area electrical protection Enclosure purge and pressurization systems that let standard instrumentation, analyzers and control equipment operate safely in Class I Div 1 and Div 2 areas.

Gas flow measurement Thermal mass flow on flare gas, digester gas, biogas and combustion air - where variable composition and low pressure defeat conventional meters.

Signal conditioning and isolation Loop isolators, converters and signal conditioners for noisy or long-run installations.

Manufacturers

Protego: flame arrestors, pressure/vacuum relief valves, tank vapor safety (TN and North AL). GDS Corp: fixed gas detection. Expo Technologies: enclosure purge and pressurization. PR Electronics: signal conditioning devices, including intrinsically safe (I.S.) barriers (AL and FL Panhandle). Eldridge Products (EPI): thermal mass flow meters for gas and air measurement 

Where this applies

Chemical tank farms and vapor recovery · RNG, landfill gas and digester facilities · pulp and paper NCG and black liquor systems · gas-fired power and fuel gas skids · refining · anywhere with a Class I Div 1 or Div 2 classification.
