The whole processing area is in depression.
The air is introduced into the area by means of special pumps while other pumps maintain a constant flow by conveying it directly to the plasma torch.
Furthermore, by using specific devices, there will be a lower quantity of gas as a peak flow rate in case of emergency depressurization, and this serves to better guarantee the safety of the system (for example, for the same quantity of gas processed, in emergency case for a standard size of the Plant Unit, 33,500 kg / h were recorded against 134,000 kg / h of the peak depressurization flow rates, always sized according to the API Directives - American Petroleum Institute - 521 latest edition); consequently the spaces needed for the safety torch (Flare) are drastically reduced and the flare itself is much lower.
Moreover, by using specific devices, even near the base of the emergency torch, the thermal radiation produced never reaches dangerous levels for humans (irreversible injuries 5.0 kW / m2 or reversible injuries 3.0 kW / m2).
