Mitigate Tank Fire Risks with Advanced Flame and Gas Detection Solutions.
Tank fires, though rare, pose a significant threat due to the large fuel volumes they contain. These fires are often triggered by static electricity during rapid fuel loading or unloading, or by lightning strikes. In Gulf Coast states, lightning strikes can average 400 strikes per square mile annually in many industrial areas. Fires frequently occur at the flexible seal between the floating roof and the tank side.
A flame detector is the ideal solution for this challenge, offering high resistance to false alarms and the ability to detect a small 1ft x 1ft fire from over 200 feet away. Traditional point detectors are impractical for large areas, fence line monitoring, or tracking gas leaks across plant areas. Open path detectors, such as Infrared Gas Detectors, are uniquely suited for these applications. We provide open path solutions for mixed hydrocarbon gases, pure methane, and toxic gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia, carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrogen fluoride (HF), or combinations of toxic gases and hydrocarbons in a single detector.
