Engineered for the extreme hazards of natural gas refineries, the
IG100 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System combines advanced inert
gas technology with rugged reliability, setting a new benchmark for
safety in high-risk industrial environments.
1. Explosion-Resistant Inert Gas Suppression
The system utilizes nitrogen as its clean agent, the threshold for
extinguishing Class B (flammable gas) and Class C (electrical)
fires without triggering explosions. Unlike water or foam systems
that fail in gas-rich atmospheres, the IG100 clean agent fire
suppression system neutralizes risks from methane, propane, or
hydrogen leaks, a critical advantage in refineries where vapor
cloud explosions pose catastrophic threats.
2. Non-Conductive and Residue-Free Operation
Natural gas refineries house high-voltage switchgear, SCADA
systems, and control panels essential for safe operations. The
IG100 system’s non-conductive nitrogen agent eliminates
short-circuit risks in energized equipment, a fatal flaw of
water-based solutions. Post-suppression, the gas dissipates
completely, leaving no corrosive residues on pipeline coatings,
valve assemblies, or analytical instruments—reducing post-fire
maintenance by 70% compared to dry powder systems.
3. Environmental and Operational Compliance
The nitrogen-based formula of the IG100 clean agent fire
suppression system boasts zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and
zero global warming potential (GWP), complying with strict industry
standards like API RP 2003 (Prevention of Ignitions) and NFPA 59A
(LNG Standards).
Application:
1. Natural Gas Compressor Stations
In stations where methane is compressed for pipeline transport:
Gas Turbine Halls: The system suppresses fires from lubricant leaks
or electrical faults in turbines, protecting expensive rotating
equipment without downtime for residue cleanup.
Control Valve Rooms: Non-conductive nitrogen safeguards PLC systems
and pressure regulators, ensuring uninterrupted operation of
safety-critical shutdown sequences.
2. LNG Storage Terminals
At facilities handling liquefied natural gas:
Cryogenic Storage Tanks: The IG100 clean agent fire suppression
system activates safely in sub-zero environments, suppressing leaks
of LNG (boiling point -162°C) without compromising stainless steel
tank integrity.
Loading Arms and Transfer Pumps: Rapid agent deployment prevents
vapor cloud explosions during LNG loading/unloading, a scenario
where traditional systems often fail due to (low-temperature)
incompatibility.
3. Refinery Control Centers
In mission-critical control rooms managing process automation:
Distributed Control Systems (DCS): The residue-free agent protects
server racks and HMI panels, ensuring no data loss or system
corruption during fire events—vital for maintaining refinery-wide
safety protocols.
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Panels: Non-conductive suppression
preserves ESD circuitry, enabling rapid activation of fail-safe
mechanisms even during active fires.
4. Processing Units and Fractionation Towers
In high-risk zones separating natural gas components:
Ethane/Propane Recovery Units: The system suppresses fires from
volatile liquid leaks, such as ethylene glycol or amine solutions,
without contaminating processing media.
Flare Systems and Combustors: Its rapid response contains fires in
flare lines, preventing heat radiation damage to adjacent
equipment.
5. Maintenance and Workshop Areas
In zones storing spare parts and lubricants:
Lubricant Storage Rooms: Safely suppresses Class B fires from
hydraulic oils or greases, with zero residue to contaminate
maintenance tools or replacement valves.
Welding and Cutting Stations: Non-conductive nitrogen mitigates
risks from sparks near gas pipelines, a common hazard during
turnaround maintenance.
