PFP for Oil & Gas

Passive fire protection (PFP) is generally used to protect main structural elements that support walkways, open escape routes etc. and hydrocarbon containing process vessels. It is also used to provide long (up to 2 hours) fire resistance for fire and blast walls. This includes providing protection for covered escape routes such as tunnels on FPSO's. It is highly effective against jet fires and pool fires. PFP is a passive system and in many ways superior to water deluge in terms of its lower maintenance burden; it is in position permanently and does not require a detection and initiation system.

Passive fire protection (PFP) coatings are increasingly important in the oil and gas industry. Applied to industrial oil and gas installations, the coatings expand to form an insulating layer of carbon char when exposed to high temperatures. This enables the steel to maintain its load-bearing capacity for up to four hours longer during a fire, giving people valuable time to escape the building and for firefighters to put the fire out.

We offer a wide range of Passive Fire Protection and all our applicators are qualified and approved.

Key Features of PFP:

Significantly prolong the time taken for steel to reach the critical core temperature

Key Benefits of PFP:

Improves the safety of people at work by extending the time availabe for escape
