A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.
The EDS may be a subsystem of the BOP stack's control pods or separate. [citation needed] Pumps on the rig normally deliver pressure to the blowout preventer stack through hydraulic lines. Hydraulic accumulators are on the BOP stack enable closure of blowout preventers even if the BOP stack is disconnected from the rig.
Backflow prevention device. The simplest, most reliable way to provide backflow prevention is to provide an air gap.An air gap is simply an open vertical space between any device that connects to a plumbing system (like a valve or faucet) and any place where contaminated water can collect or pool.

A blowdown stack is an elevated vent or vertical stack that is used to vent the pressure of components of a chemical, refinery or other plant if there is a process problem or emergency. A blowdown stack can be used to complement a flare stack or as an alternative. The purpose is to prevent 'loss of containment' of volatile liquids and gases.
A flame arrester during testing A flame arrester made for a 91 cm (36 inch) pipe weighing 10 tons. A flame arrester (also spelled arrestor), deflagration arrester, [1] or flame trap [2] is a device or form of construction that will allow free passage of a gas or gaseous mixture but will interrupt or prevent the passage of flame. It prevents the ...
This Detonation Flame Arrester is being tested for an 8-inch piping system at Brooker Laboratory Testing Company to the USCG 33cfr154.1325 Standard. Detonation Flame Arresters for various pipe sizes from Paradox Intellectual Inc. The largest detonation flame arrester ever built at the time, weighing 10 tons, for 30 inch pipe.
Flashback arrestors with different size and flow rate, and different connections. A flashback arrestor or flash arrestor is a gas safety device most commonly used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting to stop the flame or reverse flow of gas back up into the equipment or supply line. It protects the user and equipment from damage or explosions.
