Protection of FPSOs
FPSOs combine production equipment, storage tanks, and offloading systems in one unit, requiring reliable protection at vent outlets, piping, and tank interfaces. PROTEGO® type approved equipment is used for storage tanks, flares, in-line piping, and pressure and vacuum relief points to ensure correct tank breathing. 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. are installed at vent outlets, while in-line Detonation Flame Arresters and Pressure Vacuum Relief Valves Soupape de surpression et dépression A pressure and vacuum relief valve is a pressure equalization valve for impermissible pressure and vacuum in a closed system. are used to prevent flame transmission and protect tanks on classified vessels.

Protection of Oil Rigs
Fixed offshore oil rigs contain multiple venting and piping systems distributed across process modules, storage vessels, and utility areas. These systems require protection against flame transmission while maintaining stable pressure conditions during normal operation.
The combined use of Flame Arresters and Pressure Vacuum Relief Valves supports operational continuity while addressing the risks associated with vented hydrocarbons in offshore environments.
Highlights
The upgraded flame arresters have delivered a major improvement in both performance and maintenance safety. The solution has supported our goal of maintaining system integrity while reducing operational burden.
