Abstract
The present invention relates to a ducting system (100) for conveying a flow of a gaseous feed (110) comprising a combustible component from an inlet to at least one combustion module (12), the ducting system (100) utilising a combination of a sensor (C0) for measuring the concentration of the combustible component in the gaseous feed (110), a flame detector (F0, F1, F2, F3, . . . , Fn) a shut-off valve (6) and a flame arrestor (5) located in a flow path of the gaseous feed upstream of the shut-off valve (6) such that a measurement of a concentration of combustible material in the gaseous feed over a specified concentration by the sensor (CO) causes the shut-off valve (6) to be configured to the closed position for preventing flow of a gaseous feed comprising a combustible mixture of the combustible component from reaching an ignition source and/or detection of flame by the flame detector (F0, F1, F2, F3, . . . , Fn) causes shut-off valve (6) to be configured to the closed position for attenuating propagation of a flame towards the inlet.
