Protego In-Line Deflagration Flame Arrester for biogas, sewage and landfill gas FA-G

The Protego FA-G-IIA1-P2.2 is a compact, in-line deflagration flame arrester specifically developed for biogas, sewage gas, and landfill gas applications. Designed for explosion group IIA1 – methane – it offers bidirectional protectionagainst deflagration and endurance burning under atmospheric conditions. Ideal for installation close to burners, this unit ensures flashback prevention in pipelines and complies with ATEX and EN ISO 16852 standards.
