Pressurization and Purge
Mitigate the risk of potential explosions with purge and pressurization
This protection method functions to limit the potential for an explosion by ensuring equipment is pressurized with a positive gas or purged with a diluting gas. There are three different types of pressurization that can be applied to a product:
- Static
- Leakage compensation
- Continuous dilution
The chart below provides an overview of Purge and Pressure safety standards:
