Understanding Flame Arresters and Explosion Fundamentals
Explosion safety is often not ignored. It is misunderstood.
In this practical webinar, BM Process Management, Ritec BV and KITO Armaturen GmbH discuss how flame arresters work, how explosions behave in real industrial systems, and how to make better safety decisions in tank storage, chemical and process applications.

From Spark to Safety: Understanding Flame Arresters and Explosion Fundamentals
What you will learn
- Why more equipment does not always mean more safety
- How explosion behaviour affects flame arrester selection
- What gas groups and MESG mean in practice
- How to avoid common project mistakes such as wrong sizing, wrong location and pipe reductions
- When integrated flame arrester valves can be useful
- Practical points around maintenance, heating, oxygen concentration, PED and emergency venting
Who should watch this webinar?
This session is relevant for:
- Process engineers
- HSE and safety professionals
- Tank storage operators
- Chemical and industrial plant operators
- Engineering consultants
- Project managers working with off-gas, tank protection or explosion safety systems
Key message from the webinar
Flame arrester selection is not only about choosing a device.
It requires understanding the full process, including the product, gas group, explosion behaviour, pressure, temperature, flow, installation conditions and maintenance access.
The safest decision is not always to add more equipment.
The safest decision is to understand the risk correctly.
