Flash Arrestors for Condensate Capture

Orchem recently shipped 20 flash arrestors of various sizes to a local state correctional facility.  For use in a new wing of the facility.  The sizes range from 2" to 6" in diameter.   The arrestors were produced in carbon steel.  Each unit was pressure tested at 1000 psig and custom painted with high temperature enamel,  Acted as a subcontractor to the mechanical contractor of the site.  They exceeded the customer specifications and saved capital cost versus the competition.
Why use a flash arrestor?
To keep from putting already treated condensate down the drain.  This saves the heat value of the condensate by reintroducing it back to the system, reduces chemical makeup and eliminate water tempering in the drain.  This saves drain repair, piping repair, fuel, and manpower.
