ProTek™ Passive Fire and Blast Protection Systems to be presented at UK Norway Supply Chain Share Fair 2006.
Solent Composite Systems Ltd manufacturer of ProTek™ composite passive fire and blast systems, will attend and exhibit at the UK- Norway Supply Chain Share Fair to be held in Aberdeen April 20th2006. The Fair organised by UK Trade and Investment, will bring together UK technology companies to key procurement leaders in the Norwegian offshore oil and gas industry and will focus on how new technology will assist in the rapid development of oil and gas fields in ever more demanding locations in the years ahead
The SCS ProTek™ system meets all current requirements for jet-fire, pool fire and blast protection. ProTek™ enclosures are typically used for ESDV/actuator protection must also withstand wind and wave load acceleration movements under extreme climatic conditions. The high insulation properties of the ProTek™ system ensures minimum temperature rise, thus providing essential integrity of the equipment functioning.
Recently Statoil specified ProTek™ for the Norne FPSO and the Snøhvit LNG plant in Hammerfest. The flexible design of the ProTek™ system allows penetrations of cables and pipes, without compromise to clashes with existing equipment. The ProTek™ enclosures are designed with low weight access panels for easy equipment maintenance and rapid low cost installation. ProTek™ has a major life cost advantage over traditionally used soft jacket systems which tend to deteriorate in the environment, and thus have a higher lifetime cost than rigid composite enclosures.
ProTek™ is manufactured from an advanced composite panel system which is lightweight and has wide design versatility. Being virtually inert, there is zero corrosion risk and outstanding weather resistance, thus offering a maintenance free life for at least 30 years. In addition ProTek™ does not contribute to water or air pollution Fire and blast performance is certified by Lloyds and DNV and will withstand a two hour jet fire test at 0.3 kg /sec gas release, and blast tests up to 1.5 barg.
In addition to ESDV/actuator protection ProTek™ is used for fire and blast walls, marine fire partitions, underdeck/splashzone, turret and flexible riser passive fire protection as well sub-sea structures and encapsulations. SCS expects its composite engineering expertise to be widely utilised in the growing sub-sea gas exploration market
