Roofed Alcohol Storage Tanks

Storage Tanks for distilleries and wineries

PROTEGO® safety concepts offer integrated venting and explosion protection Protection antidéflagrante An explosion protection is a flame arrester that prevents flame propagation into plant sections to be protected during explosions. for systems with alcohol vapors. It includes in-line detonation and end-of-line flame protection, plus pressure and vacuum Dépression Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. relief for stable operation. Vapors are safely vented via the in-line combination detonation arrester Arrête-flammes antidétonation Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a detonation. /valve unit preventing reverse flow and flame transmission. High-capacity emergency relief ensures rapid pressure relief, protecting equipment and ensuring industry compliance.

Alcohol Storage Tanks without Emergency Relief Venting

PROTEGO® combines pressure and vacuum relief with in-line detonation and check valve Soupape de retenue A check valve allows flow of the operating media in one direction and prevents flow in the opposite direction. protection for safe venting of flammable vapors. Vapors are safely routed with end-of-line explosion protection to prevent flame propagation. For products like alcohols, end-of-line  Flame Arresters may be designed for endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. , ensuring reliable performance and compliance with standards.

Protection of stills

Stills and vessels handling flammable vapors need protection from flame propagation and pressure and vacuum damage. This concept combines end-of-line Deflagration Flame Arresters Arrête-flammes antidéflagration Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a deflagration. It can be an end-of-line flame arrester or an in-line flame arrester. with pressure and vacuum relief. PROTEGO® Flame Arresters prevent flame spread, while rapid-opening vacuum relief using 10% lift Course Lift is the actual travel of the valve pallet from the main valve out of the closed position. technology quickly reaches full capacity, protecting against vacuum collapse and preserving vessel Récipient Container or structural envelope in which materials are processed, treated or stored. integrity.

Protection of Spirit Receiver Vessels 

Spirit receiver vessels are used to collect and temporarily store alcohol vapors and liquids during processing operations. Maintaining safety in these vessels is essential for product quality and operational continuity.​ The protection concept shown utalizes a Detonation Flame Arrester (the location is not restricted) to provide robust protection. This solution supports secure spirit storage while helping safeguard personnel and equipment.

Deflagration Protection for Spirit Receiver Vessels

This application offers deflagration flame protection for spirit receiver vessels handling flammable alcohol vapors. It's designed for piping geometry with an L/D ratio of 50 or less, preventing flame propagation back into the vessel and ensuring safer operation and compliance with alcohol storage standards

Highlights

Comprehensive Vessel Protection
Combining flame propagation prevention with pressure and vacuum relief.
Lifecycle confidence
Supported by maintenance-friendly designs and global service capabilities.
Stable Operating Conditions
Ensuring reliable pressure and vacuum relief during normal and upset scenarios.
Rapid Vacuum
