Flashback Guards & Spark Arresting Panels

A conventional flame arrester is not usually a cost-effective way of protecting air intakes or fuel/air intakes on larger burners and oxidisers from the risk of flashback into flammable atmospheres.

Flashback guards are normally used for these duties. Spark arrester panels behave as filters to remove incandescent particles from the process gas stream.

KnitMesh Technologies has developed a range of 304L and 316L Stainless Steel knitted mesh panels which perform the functions of flashback guards and spark arresting panels. Products are available custom-designed in both rectangular and circular shapes, and depending on size, can be provided as single or modular units.
