Abstract: A flame arrester/burner assembly with a multifarious arrester element for preventing deflagrations and extended endurance burning time (FABA-XT). The multifarious element flame arrester includes a pipe body having a first end and a second end, a first arrester element positioned within the pipe body adjacent the top end; a third arrester element adjacent the bottom end; and, a second arrester element positioned in the pipe body between the first arrester element and the second arrester element. The first, second, and/or third arrester elements may be of the same design or disparate designs. The FABA-XT of the present disclosure is an end-of-line burner element for use in VOC-Vapor Destruction Systems.

Abstract: A combination of a flame arrestor with a reflection suppressor is provided which not only arrests an advancing flame front, but also suppresses or mitigates a reflection wave that is generated by a pressure wave that passes through the combination and continues on to a pipe restriction what generates a reflection wave that proceeds back to the combination. At the combination, the reflection suppressor suppresses and/or mitigates the reflection wave, thereby avoiding a heightened pressure in the combination that could cause a re-ignition and a new flame front and pressure front. The reflection suppressor has a tapered profile that permits a pressure wave to pass along and past the reflection suppressor as it leaves the combination but that impedes and mitigates a returning reflection wave produced by the pressure wave striking a pipe restriction and causing such a returning reflection wave.

Abstract: A detonation flame arrestor including an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and fill media. The outer cylinder and inner cylinder are secured to a canister flange on one end and include a domed face (cap) on the other end. On assembly, the inner cylinder secured to the canister flange is positioned inside the outer cylinder secured to the canister flange, altogether forming a canister. The fill media is inserted in the canister between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. Both the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder include a tapered spiral wound wire screen which forms their respective cylindrical circumferences. Contaminates are constrained between adjacent windings of the tapered wire screen.
