REMBE® Q-Rohr® DFE
Flameless Explosion Venting for Dual Fuel Engines
The Green Energy Revolution requires a commitment to move away from fossil fuels and towards more renewable, sustainable types of energy sources that do not put out harmful bi-products into the environment. But this dramatic shift in energy production methods also requires solutions that guarantee the availability of a constant energy supply. The output of wind and solar plants is not constant. When it falls, other sources such as gas-fired power stations must make up the difference.
An incorrectly functioning gas-fueled engine can allow a flammable mixture of gas and oxygen to occur in the exhaust system. In the worst case scenario, this could ignite and cause a massive explosion, not only damaging the engine and other components, but also creating a serious risk of injury to persons working in the generator building. Energy production and emergency power supplies would be out of action for an extended period. Unplanned stoppages of gas-fueled engines therefore pose a significant threat to the stability of the electricity grid and energy supply security.
REMBE® has used its many years of experience in explosion safety to develop a system specifically for protecting gas-fueled engines. The REMBE® Q-Rohr® DFE permits flameless explosion venting in the generator building without the need for costly and complex venting ducts. If an explosion occurs, neither flames nor a pressure wave emerge from the vessel. Other areas of the plant and employees working in the building have the best possible protection. Normal operation of the power plant can recommence very quickly after an explosion occurs and the energy supply is secure. This reduces downtimes to a minimum and thus increases power plant efficiency.
