Petrochemicals & Refining
The most demanding fire engineering environment we work in, and our largest area of practice.
Characteristic hazards
- Process fires at elevated temperature and pressure
- Tank fires, rim seal fires and full surface fires
- Loss of containment at loading and unloading
- Reactive and unstable intermediates
- Firewater runoff and environmental consequence
Assets we work on
- Process units — cracking, reforming, hydroprocessing, polymerisation
- Tank farms and intermediate storage
- Loading racks and jetty transfer systems
- Utilities and offsites
- Control buildings and substations within the plant
What we deliver here
- Fire safety concept for the complex as a whole, not unit by unit
- Foam system design and transition to fluorine-free concentrates
- Fire water network hydraulics and storage sizing
- Thermal radiation and blast assessment for occupied buildings
- Containment strategy for contaminated firewater
