Protection of FPSOs and Oil Rigs

Protection of FPSOs 

FPSOs combine production equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. , storage tanks, and offloading systems in one unit, requiring reliable protection at vent outlets, piping, and tank interfaces. PROTEGO® type approved equipment is used for storage tanks, flares, in-line piping, and pressure and vacuum relief points to ensure correct tank breathing. End-of-line Deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). Flame Arresters Flame arrester Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. are installed at vent outlets, while in-line Detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave (EN 1127-1: 1997). Flame Arresters and Pressure Vacuum Relief Valves Pressure and vacuum relief valve A pressure and vacuum relief valve is a pressure equalization valve for impermissible pressure and vacuum in a closed system. are used to prevent flame transmission and protect tanks on classified vessels.
