Explosion vents are one of the most economical, practical and convenient solutions to preventing explosions from reaching their potential maximum pressures. However, it is often necessary to locate process equipment indoors, making venting difficult, if not impossible. Through full-scale explosion testing and research, MGH has developed several flameless venting solutions that allow you to safely and economically protect this equipment.

Designed for use in combination with round MGH explosion vents, the FlamQuench II extinguishes the flame from the vented explosion, not allowing it to exit the device ... where it could ignite secondary explosions or endanger personnel. All of this is accomplished without expensive or prohibitive ducting, limitations on location of the process equipment, or other expensive explosion protection systems.

Designed for use with square/rectangular explosion vents, FlamQuench II SQ technology consists of various layers of high temperature stainless steel which absorb heat produced during the combustion. This allows conventional venting to be done indoors with no release of flame.

The Ele-Quench flame arrester is a flame filter companion to the EleGuard® explosion vent --designed specifically for use on grain bucket elevator legs. When grain elevators must be located indoors, the Ele-Quench prevents the release of flame and product for reduced risk to personnel and equipment, and testing shows that venting efficiency still remains at 100%! Add in easy installation and maintenance (the Ele-Quench flame arrester and EleGuard explosion vent bolt directly onto the elevator), and you have a versatile, efficient addition for protection against explosion and flame damage.
