Life safety and asset protection is paramount
Protecting liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing and storage sites and transportation vessels present a unique set of risks.
Mitigating these risks requires high-performance flame and gas detection and suppression systems, plus a track record of successfully protecting these facilities and their staff. Det-Tronics offers a robust, reliable solution, proven in sites around the world.
LNG hazard detection challenges:
- Performance and design requirements vary by facility/zone/area
- Flammable and non-flammable (toxic) hazards create the need for multiple detection types and technologies
- Environmental factors such as wind and extremely low temperatures increase the complexity of the solution's design
- False alarm sources increase the potential for unnecessary, disruptive risk mitigation activations and process shutdowns
Complete solutions must:
- Provide reliable detection under varying environmental factors
- Include detector types and technologies to address needs at different stages of the LNG production process
- Provide enhanced immunity to false alarm sources and be unaffected by sources of electromagnetic interference
- Integrate detection, notification and suppression functionality
- Automatically initiate corrective action, including engaging the emergency shutdown (ESD) system
- Place and aim detection equipment for optimum coverage
- Validate performance during commissioning
- Use a performance-based design that complies with local, national and international codes and standards
