Safety valves provide numerous advantages, opening when pressure becomes too high and automatically closing after venting. However, an immense drawback is that safety valves are very maintenance-intensive, and present the disadvantage of not providing leak tightness. In turn, this results in huge material wastage and rising emission rates.
Just in the Netherlands, this results in an annual loss of raw materials loss of gases and liquids of approximately 106,000 tons. With a calculated average price of 700,00 EUR/ton, this results in a loss of 75 mio. EUR/year. When adding the leakage losses resulting from shaft sealing, an additional 383.000 tons/year is achieved; e.g. an amazing 268 mio. EUR, only for the Netherlands.
The American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has discovered that 40.000 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) alone have been annually emitted in the USA.
Besides the economic damage, environmental contamination also remains a topic.
Based on this background, REMBE® has specialized in laser technology, and developed a unique two-layered REMBE® reverse acting buckling-pin bursting disc (KUB®); its usability in those types of demanding processes has proven itself for years.
The BT-KUB® mechanism is based on the buckling-pin principle by Leonard Euler. As opposed to other bursting disc manufacturers, REMBE® waives any mechanical scoring.
Custom-made bursting disc passes the test and stands for quality, even under the most extreme of conditions
A notable transformer manufacturer asked REMBE® for help in 2007. The reason? They had delivered transformers to an energy company in Canada and obtained bursting discs and holders via one of our competitors. After a short time, leaks appeared on the discs that could not be easily repaired. A speedy and longterm solution was needed.
Now this Canadian energy company had already had good experiences with REMBE® bursting discs when used by a Korean manufacturer. Therefore REMBE® was asked to find an ideal solution for the leakage.
The energy company was greatly satisfied with the installation and the leak never occurred again.
Custom-made rescue
At the end of 2010 both REMBE® expert Thomas Münstermann (Head of Process Safety Department) and the Canadian company themselves inspected these installed bursting discs using an endoscope. The result: no defects whatsoever.
Spiral-ring sealing in force shunt has proven successfully for more than 40 years.
