Passive Fire Shelter Technology

Intertec Instrumentation Pvt Ltd offers Passive Fire Shelter Technology that provides new choices. The company, an enclosure specialist, has an extensive range of fire-resistant shelters, including ‘1709’ models designed to protect critical safety equipment from exposure to high temperature fires in hazardous areas. The shelters are entirely passive, maintenance-free and impervious to a wide range of corrosive chemicals – including salt, sulphur dioxide and sour or acid gas. Typical applications for the 1709 versions include protecting valves and actuators in the emergency shutdown and fire fighting systems of refineries and chemical plants, and offshore oil and gas platforms. Another key application for Intertec's fire protection materials is separating hazardous and non-hazardous areas on ships and on offshore drilling, processing and storage platforms. This development will be of considerable interest to designers seeking a means of meeting the future IEC 61892-7 standard for offshore platforms and vessels, which will demand area separation materials capable of withstanding a hydrocarbon fire for 60-120 minutes.
