Products & services
KUB® - our most robust rupture disc
REMBE® has developed a unique two-layered reverse acting rupture disc. KUB® is not only extremely easy to install – it is also simple to remove and reinstall. The KUB® design has a unique construction which makes it the most robust rupture disc on the market. KUB® is the ideal solution for a wide range of challenging industrial processes with low to high operating pressures or vacuum, e.g. in liquid, gas or vapour applications as well as in two-phase flow applications.
GRX® Graphite Rupture Disc
This rupture disc protects processes with corrosive media, low pressure and temperatures of between -180 °C and 1,500 °C. The GRX® is available with a PyC coating, developed specifically for the GRX® (process temperatures up to 500 °C). With the PyC coating, the rupture disc holds significantly longer at very high temperatures, while remaining permanently leak-tight.
ELEVENT® - The breather valve
The ELEVENT® Breather Valve protects industrial systems and tanks with low design pressure against excessive pressures and vacuum. The valve prevents the leakage of production gases, polluting material or explosive vapors. At the same time, it protects the system against unwanted air intake. The breather valve can be installed at any system with different connection variants, e.g. ANSI flanges, “Tri-Clamp®”, pipe connectors and pipe couplings according to DIN 11851, as well as CF and KF flanges. ELEVENT® is used in the oil and gas industry, food processing, the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors and power plant technology.
IKB® - reverse acting rupture disc
The patented IKB® is the result of the continuous leadership in rupture disc excellence. This trendsetting design combines both, state-of-the-art laser treatment technology and REMBE®’s unique imperfection method (IPV) to influence the material structure of the device in positive manner. Contrary to traditional scored rupture discs, which open always in petals reducing the free net flow area, the unique IKB® offers full bore opening and maximized discharge area. The risk of fragmenting petals is perfectly eliminated. Its enhanced performance values over ordinary and old-fashioned scored discs makes the IKB® a smash hit for process applications which are price-sensitive on the one but quality demanding on the other hand. No other single layer rupture disc parallels the IKB® when it comes to cost of ownership and safety level.
ODV - forward acting rupture disc
ODV is primarily used for applications with low to medium pressures, e.g. for gases, liquids and applications with two-phase flows. The disc has a standard operating ratio of max. 80 %*. For burst pressures of less than 1 barg, ODV can be installed directly between flanges or angular rings. ODV has a three-layer design: The burst element is located on the side facing away from the process to protect it against corrosive media. The breaking points are cut into the burst element using lasers and define the burst pressure with outstanding precision. The sealing element prevents gases from escaping in normal operation. The vacuum support, as the name suggests, enables ODV to be used in processes with a vacuum.
NIMU Signalling Unit
NIMU is a reusable, non-invasive detection system. After an overpressure event, and the associated opening of the rupture disc, the outlet part of the rupture disc holder must be removed, the rupture disc replaced, and afterwards the system can be put back into operation. The days when the signalling cables also had to be routed again to the respective switching box are finally over.
SFD
The SFD (Sublimated Forward Acting Rupture Disc) is a versatile rupture disc solution suitable for use with a wide range of process conditions. Manufactured using Contour Precision Lasering, this forward acting rupture disc eliminates common industry concerns associated with mechanically scored discs such as premature failure, corrosion on the score-line and pin-holing. Unexpected problems can cause costly downtime, REMBE®’s CPL™ Technology maximises the lifetime of the installed disc and ensures high-quality, accurate burst control even in the harshest of environments.
Rupture Disc and Safety Valve
Rupture discs and safety valves can be combined in two different configurations: The rupture disc can be installed below the safety valve or the two pressure relief systems installed prallel. If the systems are installed next to each other, the response pressure of the rupture disc is higher than that of the safety valve. If the rise in pressure is so large and rapid that the safety valve cannot respond sufficiently quickly or if it fails to open, the rupture disc serves as a reliable backup system to relieve the pressure. If the rupture disc is installed below the safety valve it can perform a number of roles.
