NOFIRNO withstands two-hours Jet Fire test
An uncontrolled discharge of combustible gas under pressure poses a serious fire hazard in areas such as petrochemical plants, offshore petroleum rigs and other environments that are sensitive to extreme fires. If high-pressure flammable gas, pressure liquefied gas or flashing liquid fuels are emitted at high velocity and ignited, the result will be a jet fire. Withstanding these jet fires is most demanding for a sealing system. BEELE Engineering’s NOFIRNO sealing system for multi-cable and pipe transits has successfully completed a jet fire test, in accordance with ISO 22899-1:2007 and ISO/CD 22899-2 for two hours at Health & Safety Laboratory at Buxton in England. The jet fire test was recorded on DVD; copies of the DVD can be ordered via BEELE Engineering.
RISE/NOFIRNO: newest generation sealing system approved for harshest fire ratings for metallic and GRP pipe penetrations
With RISE/NOFIRNO Beele Engineering has introduced a new generation sealing system based on the leatest development of NOFIRNO rubber technology that is designed to meet alle the requirements of the offshore industry. The sealing system is tested according to IMO Resolution A.754(18) and approved for heavy duty A0 and H0 single and multi-pipe transits without any kind of insulation. The system is also the first sealing system in the market place that is approved for any combination of cable, metallic or plastic pipes.
Beele Engineering sets foot on Swedish fire safety market
Beele Engineering, market leader in the field of passive fire safety, has announced that it will expand its activities to the Swedish market. “Growing awareness over fire safety has ensured that interest in fire resistance products has grown over the last year”, explains mr. Hans Beele, president of Beele Engineering.
SLIPSIL sealing plugs for accomodation module
Both SLIPSIL sealing plugs and the fire safe RISE system are used for sealing all the pipe penetrations including GRE and plastic pipes in the accomodation platforms destined for the offshore Al Shaheen Field, Block 5, Qatar. The work is carried out by Lowestoft based SLP Engineering Ltd. on behalf of Maersk Oil Qatar AS. The work comprises one accomodation platform for 119 men, one accomodation platform for 89 men, 4 accomodation platforms each for 36 men as well as interconnecting bridges.
The RISE metallic and plastic pipe sealing system, is one of the most adaptive systems for sealing all pipe penetrations including excentrical and angled pipe penetrations. The few materials and components that are required for the RISE system make installation very quick and easy. SLIPSIL, the new generation sealing plugs, is designed to provide fire safe and gas and water tight seals for transits carrying single or multiple plastic or metal pipes. Compared to other sealing plugs the SLIPSIL plug is even easier to install. The plugs can already be exposed to high pressures immediately after installation.
