Flame Arrestor Market Synopsis

The flame arrestor is a device used to stop a flame from turning into a large fire by extinguishing it in the early stage. It works on the principle of absorbing the heat from the flame and dropping the temperature of the gas mixture below its ignition temperature. The heat is absorbed through the channels commonly made of a wire mesh or a metal sheet with punched holes. Flame arrestors are used in different cases, such as vents of fuel tanks, the exhaust system of the different engines, during the coal mining and several; other situations.

The rapid industrialization across the world and the huge development of the oil and gas and mining industries have fueled the growth of the global flame arrestor market. Flame arrestors are extensively used in the oil and gas industry to prevent any [potentially explosive gas mixture. They are installed mainly in pipelines and vents of the storage tanks, and they are also used in the Davy lamps used during coal mining. As there are high chances of explosive gases, like methane in coal mines, the use of the open flames as a source of light is very dangerous.

Flame arrestor suppliers, considering the potential of the in-line flame arrestors in various applications, have started focusing on them by investing in the development of in-line flame arrestors which are installed in pipes with diameters of 1” up to 2”. For instance, Braunschweiger Flammenfilter GmbH is developing the in-line deflagration flame arrester which can be easily installed and removed, and which are used in bio-sewage and landfill gas applications.  

The Prominent Players in the Global Flame Arrestor Market are Elmac Technologies (UK), Emerson Electric Co. (US), Braunschweiger Flammenfilter (Germany), L&J Technologies (US), Morrison Bros. Co. (US), Tornado Combustion Technologies (US), Motherwell Tank Protection (UK), Protectoseal (US), Ergil (Germany), Westech Industrial (US).

Industrial News:

• As of 2021, Santos Ltd., Adelaide, let a contract for the construction, connecting and operation of the floating production storage and offtake vessel for Barossa gas-condensate field development in the Timor Sea to BW Offshore.


• The contract was subjected to a final investment decision for the USD 3.6 billion Barossa project designed to backfill the gas supply to the Darwin LNG plant currently being fed by gas from the Bayu-Undan field.


• The field is expected to produce gas and condensate, for which flame arrestors are likely to be used to prevent the generation of the spark.

Flame Arrestor Market Segments and Regional Overview:

The Global Flame Arrestors Market is segmented based on type, application, end-user and region. By type, the global market has been segmented into in-line and end-of-line. By application, the global market has been segmented into storage tank, pipeline, incinerator, ventilation system, and others.
