Fire & Gas Safety Systems
Fire & Gas Safety Systems
As part of our wider Fire Safety services, Proeon offers a range of integrated Fire & Gas systems for use in industrial applications.
Fire Safety management is the legal and moral responsibility of all business owners and asset managers. Proeon offer expert technical skill sets, to provide capable and competent engineers, with the specialist knowledge to keep your personnel and assets safe.
The adoption of functional safety standards continues to grow rapidly worldwide with increasing requirements being set for SIL2 / SIL3 capable F&G systems. Here at Proeon have partnered with SCAME Sistemi, (now part of Honeywell) holding the UK licence, for their Fire & Gas control panels.
Fire and Gas Detection System Location Design
The location of Gas Detectors is essential to providing an effective system to detect flammable and toxic gas to protect the occupants and systems. Placing the gas detectors in the most effective locations is a consultative process that reviews the risks and mitigation, proposes performance targets that reflect the information provided and will provide verification of the existing gas detection using Exide verified software to calculate the 3-dimensional coverage of the risk.
Correct detector location ensures the system can detect gas in time for the appropriate action to take place. The BSI Standards 60079 (Flammable Gas) and 45444 (Toxic Gas) and 60080 (the location of the field detectors) specifies that gas detector location design requires expertise and the advice of experts having specialist knowledge. The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires that any gas detector location design be undertaken by a competent person with sufficient training and experience or knowledge. The Fire Safety Order 2005 requires suitable warning systems are established to enable appropriate response and where necessary provide warning prior to explosive conditions are reached.
