SCS to exhibit at ONS 2006 Stavanger


8th August 2006
SCS at ONS 2006 ProTek™ Composite Passive Fire Protection to be presented at ONS Stavanger August 22nd -25th.

Solent Composite Systems Ltd (SCS) manufacturer of ProTek™ passive fire and blast restraint systems will exhibit at the 17th ONS Conference and Exhibition in Stavanger August 22nd- 25th 2006. SCS will be exhibiting on Stand 935/4 located in Hall J, within the Scottish Development International Pavilion

The SCS ProTek™ PFP system meets all current Norsok requirements for jet-fire, pool fire and blast protection. The 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 maintenance and rapid low cost installation. ProTek™ has a major life-cost advantage over traditionally used soft jacket systems which tend to deteriorate over time, and thus have a higher lifetime cost than rigid enclosures such as ProTek™

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, with no pollution risk. The fire 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. ProTek™ enclosures fulfil the Norsok sound dampening requirements at a value exceeding 30DB

In addition to ESDV/actuator protection ProTek™ is used for fire and blast walls, marine fire partitions, underdeck/splashzone 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

SCS has a long and proven track record of providing engineered composite solutions to the energy industry – not only offshore oil and gas, but wind and tidal stream. SCS energy industry expertise coupled with world class quality,health and safety standards, enables it to take on major projects and take them thorough to timely and cost effective completion.

Solent Composite Systems is a member of the British Plastics Federation, Composites Group and the Composites Processing Association. SCS holds ISO 9001 and Achilles certification. SCS is working towards ISO 14001and OHAS 18001with full certification expected later his year.

The Company’s other main focus is in the burgeoning renewable energy sector, - both wind, tidal stream, and micro-generation, where it provides a portfolio of services in design development and manufacturing of wind turbine blade moulds and related components.
