Protego Deflagration Flame Arrester, End-of-Line LH/AD

The Protego LH/AD is an end-of-line deflagration flame arrester engineered to prevent flame transmission caused by atmospheric deflagrations. It’s typically installed on vent lines of non-pressurized vessels or plant equipment, where vapor is discharged only for short durations. Equipped with a robust weather hood and protection screen, this unit blocks flame ingress while shielding the flame arrester element from environmental elements like debris, birds, and nesting animals.

Designed for storage tanks, vent stacks, and low-pressure vessels, especially in industries like chemical, petrochemical, waste treatment, and flammable liquid storage where intermittent venting to atmosphere must be protected from external ignition risks.

Effective for vapors and gases in explosion groups IIA, IIB3, and IIC. Suitable where endurance burning is excluded. Special certifications available for carbon disulfide (CS₂) applications.

Protects against external atmospheric ignition

No pressure drop across the vessel

Prevents ingress of foreign materials or animals

Maintenance-friendly and long lifecycle

Certified for hazardous environments with high safety demands

Design Variants:
