BP Sangachal terminal case study
One of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas processing terminals. Located 55km south of Baku, the Sangachal Terminal is a vital link in Azerbaijan’s oil and gas industry. An oil and gas terminal that receives, processes, stores and exports crude oil and gas produced from the Azerbaijan's offshore oilfields in the Caspian Sea. Treated crude oil and gas at the terminal are pumped ...

Selecting Fire and Gas Detectors for Harsh and Remote Locations
Selecting fire and gas detectors for harsh and remote locations: Liquid natural gas (LNG) facilities in the frozen Russian Arctic. Drilling platforms in the swells of the North Sea. Pipelines that cross miles of heaving permafrost or blowing desert sands. These are some of the settings where industrial fire and gas detectors encounter extreme conditions and yet must perform accurately and ...

BP BTC Pipeline case study
Spanning three countries from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean coast. At a length of 1,768km, the Baku Tbilisi Ceyhan (BTC) Pipeline is one of the great engineering endeavours of the new millennium. The BTC oil export pipeline transports crude oil from offshore oil fields in the Caspian Sea to the Turkish coast of the Mediterranean from where the crude is further shipped via tankers to ...

Benefits of HART Communication-Enabled Gas and Flame Detectors
Catastrophic results can occur when a fire or a flammable/toxic gas release goes undetected in any petrochemical facility. For early warning and prompt hazard mitigation, flame detectors and gas detectors are essential tools. Clear, usable, diagnostic information from these detection instruments is extremely valuable in ensuring the devices are properly maintained, tested, and poised to protect ...

Data Center Fire Suppression Systems Bring Unexpected Risk
The Challenges of Fire Suppression in a Data Centre Environment Rarely do fires occur inside Data Center facilities. If there is, the fire suppression systems inside should take care of it. The problem here is that the fire solution itself could be as devastating, if not more so, than the ...

Safety Systems Depend on Reliable Field Sensors (Emphasis on Fire and Gas Detectors)
Abstract Because not all hazards are the same, identifying and quantifying the hazard is the starting point in choosing sensing technology. Not all detectors are the same, and they should be selected according to their ability to detect the hazard. This paper gives a broad summary of technologies that provide users reliable responses to hazardous conditions, that minimise false alarms, and that ...

Gas safety in confined spaces
A confined space is any space large enough for someone to enter and perform assigned work, which has limited means of entry or exit, and which is not designed for continuous worker occupancy. This covers just about every industry, including utilities, construction, hydrocarbon exploration and processing, petrochemicals, marine, agriculture, food processing and brewing, as well as the emergency ...

Getting the Design Right for a Reliable CO Mill Fire Monitoring System
Potential coal fires and coal-induced explosions in a coal handling system pose serious safety concerns for any industry that is using pulverized coal. Spontaneous combustion of coal in a coal handling system (coal conveyors, coal mills, coal silos, coal bunkers) has long been recognized as a fire hazard. Coal fires usually start in hotspots when coal absorbs oxygen from the air, heat generated ...
