Fax products: Flame Arresters - End of line and in line deflagration and in line detonation flame arresters. Microbore flame arresters. company profile: Elmac Technologies has almost sixty years expertise in the design and development of flame arresters for use in some of the world's most volatile industrial environments and can proudly claim to be the technical leader in flame and explosion safety systems. Originally known as Elmac Engineering, the company developed its first flame arrester in 1948, for use with town gas, and rapidly established a global reputation for the design, manufacture, and supply of solutions for a broad range of industrial sectors. These sectors include the global oil, gas and petrochemical industries, mining, pharmaceuticals and power generation, agro-chemicals and fertilisers, distillers, food, flavours and fragrance companies, waste treatment organisations and special equipment manufacturers. Elmac Technologies can assist clients by providing reviews of proposed new installations, advising on site extensions and evaluating existing flame arrester capabilities. To assist clients in meeting the 2006 EU ATEX Directive for flame arrester compliance, the company also offers a programme of site surveys and technical presentations. With state-of-the-art commercial, manufacturing, and test facilities in the UK, and additional manufacturing centres in South Africa and the People’s Republic of China, Elmac Technologies is rapidly developing a comprehensive range of enhanced in-line and end-of-line deflagration arresters and in-line unstable detonation arresters. The arresters are suitable for use in gas groups IIA, IIB3 and IIC, having been rigorously tested in accordance with BS EN 12874:2001 and international standards. The state-of-the-art testing facilities are also used to conduct tests to provide technical solutions to meet client-specific requirements. In addition to the testing facility, Elmac Technologies is able to draw on the benefits of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the behaviour of a system, predict pressure drop and gas flow performance, using the information to optimise designs for particular applications.
