A recent project in Philadelphia, PA required a replacement of a Donaldson explosion vent. It happens – plastic membrex media gets old and fragile and needs to be replaced. Or maybe there’s a product shift and the Kst and Pmax change due to material characteristics, requiring additional explosion protection. We also have clients who simply want a backup on the shelf should a deflagration occur, and cannot afford to have the process shut down.
