The Important Factors when Selecting a PFP Coating System for use in a “Hydrocarbon Facility”

A critical consideration is the selection of a PFP system that is durable over the facility lifetime.  The system must not cause a loss of integrity to the item it is protecting, and should always provide the intended level of fire protection in the unlikely case that a fire occurs.   Click here for a paper

Do Fixed Fire Fighting Systems Reduce Temperatures in Tunnel Fires?

Wide ranging conclusions are often drawn as to the effectiveness of Fixed Fire Fighting Systems in reducing temperatures in tunnel fires.  The following paper, authored by Arnoud Breunese of Etex and Tomas Rakovec of Efectis, considers the potential consequences of extrapolating too widely from a limited set of research test results to justify the substitution

PFPnet

PFPNet is an independent, subscription-funded body, dedicated to raising standards in the use of PFP in industries where hydrocarbons are present. PFPNet will achieve this aim by setting a future technical agenda, and educating based on what has been learned from the past.

PFPNet is a not-for-profit industry-funded body focused on serving the needs of the users of hydrocarbon fireproofing materials and systems, through a focus on education, training, capturing and retaining existing knowledge, researching key topics, clarifying points of confusion and disseminating this to the membership, and to the industry at large – all with the aim of improving quality. PFPNet is focused on the needs of the users of PFP.
