ProTek™ Passive Fire and Blast Protection Systems to be exhibited at the 2007 OTC in Houston Texas USA
Solent Composite Systems Ltd manufacturer of ProTek™ composite passive fire and blast protection systems, will attend and exhibit at the 2007 OTC exhibition Houston Texas USA April 30th to may 3rd 2007 .SCS will exhibit alongside NOF Energy on the UK pavilion - Stand number 2448.
This pavilion organised by NOF Energy and the EIC will bring together UK technology companies to key procurement and engineering leaders in the USA 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 particularly in the new gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico.
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. In addition ProTek™ delivers sound attenuation up to 38Db according to NORSOK R-004.
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 or spray up 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
SCS has a 15 year 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,
