Prism Detonation Arrestor

A choice for every configuration.

The Prism End of Line Detonation and Standard Flame Arrestors group can be arranged in many different configurations. We can configure these units using USCG accepted Detonation Flame arrestors, CSA witnessed Detonation Flame arrestors, Deflagration Flame arrestors or high-grade flare stack flame arrestors.

Prism Product Features

Prism Integrated Solutions Inc. can assemble a variety of products upon your request. These sizes range from 2” to 12”, and come in CS, 304 S.S., 316 S.S., Hastaloy, etc. Flow curves and gas classifications are available upon request.

Mounted on the inlet of the flare stack or thermal oxidizer, the detonation arrestor stops the propagation of flame from continuing through the flare system towards the process equipment.

PATENTED INNOVATION

Prism Flame Stabilization Protection

As Our unequaled design enables our units to achieve a Type 1 USCG burn rating and a Type 2 burn rating for CSA Z343-98, giving the product the best burn rating on the market. Prism Integrated Solutions Inc. has spent countless hours, effort and dollars in research, testing, and redesigning of our burner management systems to achieve this burn rating. We wanted to afford our customer with a greater length of time to react and correct a potentially dangerous condition in the event of a stabilized burn situation, with the Detonation Arrestor being a passive device which will withstand and react to all given situations equally. No other manufacturer can parallel this burn rating.

ITS
FEATURES

100% stoppage of detonations exceeding pressures of 1800 psi and speeds of 7000 fps
100% stoppage of low, medium and high-pressure deflagrations, overdriven and stable detonations
Will withstand severe flame stabilizations without causing cell or housing breakdown
Minimal cell back pressure, due to the open cell area (flow curve chart available)
Our Alumina Ceramic media also help prevent sparks from travelling through the media – unlike crimped ribbon designs that have straight through passages
Spreader bolts for quick, easy maintenance when required
Cells can be rebuilt; they are not a throw away item
Offset inlet and outlet on OSSF & OSDF models prevent fluid build-up (allowing fluid to pass through the unit)
Carbon or stainless-steel housing with stainless-steel cage and Alumina Ceramic media (for extended life) eliminates breaking or melting that can occur with aluminum products
USCG Accepted
Tested to CSA Z343-96

Compliance.

Prism Integrated Solutions Inc. affords the maximum safety window for personnel to react to the flare system situation or for the situation to change and go away. Prism Integrated Solutions Inc. has invested countless hours and funds to develop the continuous burn protection that we offer in our detonation flame arrestors.

These units have USCG acceptance and CSA verification of performance. These approvals assure that your products will be protected from fire and explosion.

Prism S.S. Detonation Flame Arrestors

AVAILABLE SIZES: n/a

  • 100% protection from flame propagation
  • Has been tested and passed for entire flame spectrum with no propagation of flame to the protected side of the Arrestor (USCG Accepted – Type 1)
  • Low, Medium & High-pressure deflagrations for Group C & D gasses (NEC)
  • Overdrive & Stable detonations for Group C & D gases (NEC)
  • Can be installed anywhere in piping configurations – vertically, horizontally, or at any angle desired

Inline Single Flange-A (ILSF-A)

AVAILABLE SIZES: n/a

The ILSF-A Prism SS Detonation Flame Arrestor is top quality when choosing an inline detonation flame arrestor product. When comparing the Prism SS ILSF-A to competitors’ models, it reveals definite advantages and value created through Prism’s leading combustion engineering. Gasket integrity, flame propagation stoppage through the full flame spectrum, having the longest continuous burn time ratings for an inline design, being approved for branch line applications that use a larger header pipe versus a smaller branch line equipped with a detonation flame arrestor and for its cleanability.

The ILSF-A incorporates a machined gasket ring on the element section that will accommodate the usage of standard spiral wound gaskets and common #150 ANSI gaskets of choice. This superior sealing option ensures resealing during cleaning and maintenance.

Prism Flame Suppression System

AVAILABLE SIZES: 8’’
The PFSS uses a pneumatic heat probe to detect temperature rise. If flame is sensed, a pneumatic valve is opened which in turn activates a motor valve (normally closed). A flood of gas or nitrogen supply is injected into the detonation flame arrestor and instantly smothers the internal flame. In effect, the detonation arrestor halts the initial flame front, and the PFSS kills it.

Options:

  • Suppression – Mechanical or Electrical
  • Alarm Systems for Flame Stabilization
  • Coated Carbon Steel & Other Alloy Housings
  • Stainless Steel Housing
  • Back Pressure Sizing / Burn Time Sizing
  • Skid Systems for Large Units
  • Pre-Filtering Screens
  • Differential Pressure Indicators
