VAREC 0B/0B Series The 0B/0B Series is a combination of the 00B/00B Series and Relief Valve and the 000 Series Flame Arrester. INTRODUCTION The VAREC 0B/0B Series Relief Valve and Flame Arrester is a combination of the VAREC 00B/00B Series and Relief Valve and the VAREC 000 Series Flame Arrester. This unit combines the high flow capacity of a relief valve with the easy-to-maintain extensible bank flame arrester for maximum protection and reliable operation. OPERATION Whenever the system gas pressure or vacuum exceeds the setting, the pallet lifts. Only excess pressure is vented to the atmosphere. Air is drawn into the digester only to relieve an excess vacuum condition. The valve remains closed when the gas utilization system remains within normal operating pressure. The valve pallets are deadweight loaded with a field adjustable pressure setting range. Side and center pallet guides are incorporated for stability. Air cushion Teflon seat inserts ensure a tighter seal. Removable seats can be easily replaced. The case outlet adapter on the pipeaway model is one pipe size larger than the valve inlet flange to optimize flow capacities. The All-weather models feature a special non-frosting and icing-resistant coating. This coating is applied to the pallet perimeter and stem, guide posts, and seat ring tip. This feature provides additional protection against pallets freezing closed. The flame arrester stops the propagation of a flame by absorbing and dissipating heat through the surface area of the bank sheets. Heat is absorbed as ignited gas attempts to pass through the small passages within the bank assembly. This action lowers the temperature of the gas below its ignition point and quenches the flame. 0B The net free area through the flame arrester bank is three to four times the unit pipe size. This design provides increased flow capacity with minimal pressure drop. The unique extensible bank frame allows inspection of the corrugated sheets, and routine cleaning without removal from the frame. The entire bank assembly slides out easily from the arrester housing. It is not necessary to disassemble the flame arrester from the relief valve, nor remove the entire unit off the pipeline. The extensible bank feature is especially useful when there is excessive foaming in the digester. The bank assembly can be easily inspected 0B and cleaned to remove any scum or residue build-up. DESIGN FEATURES Oversized pressure and vacuum ports for maximized flow capacities Extensible flame arrester bank assembly Replaceable pressure and vacuum seat rings All-weather coating option available for valve seats and guides Vent to atmosphere or pipe-away model Copyright 00 by Varec Biogas a Division of Westech Industrial Inc.

VAREC 0B/0B Series APPLICATION The 0B/0B Series and Relief Valve with Flame Arrester are installed on anaerobic digester covers or low-pressure gas holder roofs. The relief valve protects the cover from excessive pressure and vacuum within the tank. It maintains system operating pressure so waste gas is not routinely vented to the atmosphere. The flame arrester protects the tank from accidental ignition of sludge gas within the digester or gas holder. It is designed to stop the propagation of flame from external sources. For further information on these devices, see the product data sheet for 00B/00B, and 000/00. A variety of materials are available to suit climate conditions. The standard aluminum construction is suitable for moderate climates. In extreme hot, humid or freezing weather, the All-weather B Series is recommended. This design incorporates extra features that reduce potential malfunctions from these extreme conditions. The 0B Series provides for further protection from cold climates and provides a means to route vented gas instead of venting to atmosphere. This unit incorporates an enclosed pressure port on the relief valve. It is especially suited for field installation on insulated shelters. The B Series includes the pipe-away outlet and the All-weather features for maximum cold weather protection. If H S Corrosion is a concern, supplying the relief valve with SS trim is an option. The flame arrester bank sheets are also available in SS material. Benefits Large flow capacity allows use of smaller size Easy maintenance Reduces maintenance time and replacement cost Valve will operate at temperatures to - F [- C] Application flexibility for either weather or emissions considerations SPECIFICATIONS Sizes 0B -,,,,, 0 and 0B - x, x, x, x, x 0, 0 x, and x Connections Drilled to ANSI /0 Flat-Faced flange connection.
