PROTECT THE OFFSHORE PLATFORM, KEEP THE OPERATING STAFF SAFE:
- Offshore platforms exist all around the globe, they are essential to the production of oil, gas and the global energy supply chain
- There are some potential dangers, like mix of toxic and combustible gases, including hydrogen sulphide (H2S) to explosive methane (CH4) and other mixed hydrocarbon gases which are easily flammable
- Offshore platform evacuation is difficult and pose its own risks. For this reason, fire suppression is essential to prevent wide spread fire.
SOLUTIONS TO AVOID FIRE ON OFFSHORE PLATFORMS:
- Fast and reliable fire detection and alarm systems providing early warning of potential fire
- Ensure rapid fire knockdown by flooding the area
- By use of gaseous agents like inert gas, which is safe to humans
- Rapid and automatic fire detection, which leads to an immediate fire suppression
- No electricity required for fire suppression
