The PROTEGO^® Type VN-A-PCPF pilot-controlled diaphragm valve is a newly developed valve for pressure and vacuum relief. It is primarily used as a device for out-breathing in tanks, containers, and process equipment. It provides protection against vacuum and overpressure and prevents the intake of air and unallowable product vapor loss up to the set pressure. The valve can also be used as an in-breathing valve where the main valve is directly controlled when it is exposed to a vacuum, i.e., it functions as a weight-loaded diaphragm valve.

PROTEGO^® ITV-S in-tank valves are used in storage tanks for cryogenic liquids in order to seal off discharge lines in the event of an accident or emergency. These devices meet the requirements of API 625.

The in-line detonation flame arresters type PROTEGO^® DA-SB are the newest generation of flame arresters. Based on flow and explosion dynamic calculations as well as decades of field tests, a product line was developed that offers minimum pressure losses with maximum safety.

Emissions & Valve Condition Monitoring

PROTEGO® Valves can be transformed into intelligent, connected components through targeted smart sensor technology. Continuous monitoring of valve health and emissions helps reduce product loss, minimise unplanned maintenance, and support the safe operation of tank farms.

• Turn PROTEGO® Valves into intelligent assets that:

• Continuously verify emission performance

• Detect developing faults early and avoid fines from the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction)

• Provide auditable compliance data

• Reduce OPEX by optimising routine maintenance

PROTEGO® valves are highly developed pressure and vacuum relief valves with excellent flow performance. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing and out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, and process equipment to protect against unallowable overpressure and underpressure. The valve prevents emission losses almost up to the set pressure and prevents air intake almost up to the set vacuum.
