Our patented technology has been demonstrated to result in a six fold reduction in pressure drop (at 100 ft/s) and an eight fold reduction in cost over traditional flashback arrestor designs.   These rugged flashback arrestors have demonstrated the ability to arrest flashback and inhibit downstream flame holding at high pressure and temperature for hydrogen as well as liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon fuels.   Low pressure loss swirling flashback arrestors were developed for rapid mixing or flame stabilization.  Our technology also has the potential to be adapted to flare towers, chemical reaction quenching, and waste burnoff systems.
