DEHN protects the process industry

Process Technology

Lightning strikes, transient overvoltages and arc faults present a risk to the sensitive systems and components used in the process industry. In today’s competitive environment, system failure is a serious threat.
Reduce cost-intensive operational disturbances in plants in the oil, gas, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

With a comprehensive protection concept to combat lightning effects, overvoltage and arc faults, you can optimise the continuous operation of your systems and, at the same time, protect your staff and the environment.

Gas industry

Lightning and surge protection for the gas industry

With a comprehensive lightning and surge protection concept you can optimise the continuous operation of gas pipelines, natural gas compressor stations and gas pressure control and measurement systems.

DEHN protects gas pipelines

Gas pipelines

Gas pipelines often run alongside high-voltage lines or railway lines. If they run parallel over longer distances, external voltages can have a negative effect on pipelines causing wear and tear and thus corrosion damage.
DEHN schützt Gasverdichterstationen

Natural gas compressor stations

Gas compressor stations compensate losses in pressure due to transportation. They are important hubs in the natural gas grid - making it possible to transport gas from the point of extraction to consumption.
DEHN protects GDRM

Gas pressure control and measurement systems (GCMS)

Gas pressure control and measurement systems reduce the gas pressure from the transport network to the regional supply network. This also involves measuring the gas throughput volume invoiced to the power utility.

Oil industry

Lightning and surge protection for the oil industry

With a comprehensive lightning and surge protection concept you can optimise the continuous operation of oil pipelines, pump and slide gate valve stations, and storage tanks.

DEHN schützt Pipelines der Ölindustrie

Oil pipelines

Pipelines often run alongside high-voltage lines or railway lines. If they run parallel, interference voltages can have a negative effect on pipelines causing wear and tear and thus corrosion damage.
DEHN schützt Tanklager

Storage tanks

Bespoke solutions with custom-fit lightning and surge protection systems prevent direct lightning strikes to the tanks and protect alarm and extinguishing systems from failure.

Biogas plants

DEHN protects Biogas plant

Reliable protection against lightning and surges for biogas plants

High-tech production plants, usually with fully-automated processes, make it possible to use biomass to generate energy. These plants are, by nature, expensive and the fully-automated processes and procedures susceptible to disturbances. As the fermentation and gas tanks contain a mixture of gas and air, these parts of the plant are classified as potentially explosive. A reliable system of protection against lightning and surges is needed to safeguard the high availability and smooth operation of biogas plants.

Chemical industry

Long experience and mature products optimise the availablity of your system

In this sector, we are dealing with toxic, flammable and explosive substances at almost every individual stage of production. Obviously, lightning and surges present a huge danger in such environments.

A comprehensive lightning and surge protection concept helps you to optimise system availabilily and protect both employees and the environment.
