Micropack Detection (Americas) Inc services

MICROPACK’s expertise in Fire and Gas detection can provide engineering contractors and end-users with complete turnkey solutions. We have the capability to provide the complete package, from front-end engineering design (FEED), through to commissioning, and often, more significantly, operations. Drawing on our vast industry wide experience we have found this input can be invaluable during start-up and operation of an installation. MICROPACK Engineering Services can be utilised in tandem with our Consultancy resource to provide clients with a Fire and Gas Detection system that ensures a safe and productive facility.

MICROPACK`S experience extends to supplying Fire and Gas Engineers and Technicians to the worlds largest oil and gas operators, who then provide 24 hour, on-site support on the safety critical Fire and Gas detection systems. MICROPACK can also provide Fire and Gas Engineers, IRATA trained (Rope Access), who can then integrate with the local rope access team.

MICROPACK can procure and manage all spares required to maintain the required level of availability of the Fire and Gas Detection field devices. MICROPACK has software that tracks the location of all Fire and Gas Detection devices by location; the facility, local supply base and vendors shop for repair.

MICROPACK can provide 24 hour customer support for all Fire and Gas detection equipment, on-site services and maintenance globally. At present Micropack have full time technicians ensuring the integrity of Fire and Gas detection systems across the planet.

The MICROPACK Fire and Gas Detection Mapping software is comprised of Flame Detection Assessment (FDA), Gas Detection Assessment (GDA) and Heat Detection Assessment (HDA). These three packages are able to verify F&G equipment arrangements from initial design stages through to construction and installation, or existing facilities.

MICROPACK can provide staff that are fully trained and experienced on the use of maintenance management packages, such as MAXIMO, to build the maintenance database.

MICROPACK utilise the most advanced CFD modelling package to execute gas dispersion analysis studies and fire safety evaluations, in conjunction with our in-house proprietary Fire and Gas Mapping software. Processes that are capable of being modelled within the CFD software include but are not limited to; dispersion rates of gas, the spread of a subsequent heavy or light gas hazard, buoyancy, thermal radiation, flame spread, pyrolysis, combustion and the modelling of species such as O₂ , CO₂ and smoke.

The Micropack Fire and Gas Test facility located at the Grampian Fire Training Centre is employed to test equipment and verify the performance of technologies in the face of the harsh marine environments, encountered offshore in the North Sea, to the heat of the deserts in the Middle East. Micropack specialise in the provision and implementation of high integrity Fire and Gas Detection systems to significantly reduce the risk of incidents and false alarm.

To ensure Operators are complying with the latest industry standard guidelines and engineering technical practices (ETP`s), MICROPACK can carry out a Gap Analysis study to ensure critical safety systems meet the latest requirements. Operators have found these studies to be invaluable in ensuring their systems and procedures are up to date and fully compliant. 

Fire and Gas Detection Availability reviews detail the reliability and time available of Fire and Gas detector devices, ensuring the system complies with the Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
