Fundamentals of Cryogenic Spill Protection 

PFPNet has developed a short "fundamentals" guidance document that describes the minimum information required to be provided to a CSP system manufacturer that will allow them to specify the correct type and thickness of CSP required, based on the ISO 20088 test data.  Even slight changes in any of the fundamental variables that affect CSP

Qualification and Training Programmes

PFPNet is considering two “schemes” that are aimed at demonstrating competency: The qualification and training of individuals (Qualified Applicator).  Here, the qualification is based on an assessment of competency obtained by both classroom and practical training, and through experience. The qualification and registration of companies (Qualified Application Contractor).  A successful registration is by an audit

Cryogenic Spill Protection Guidance Document

Our CSP workshop at the November ‘22 conference proposed two levels of guidance for Cryogenic Spill Protection:  A short “Fundamentals of CSP” document outlining the essential information needed to ensure that a CSP system is correctly supplied and fit-for-purpose, and an “advanced” guidance document, containing more technical details on scenarios, consequence modelling, response of structures

Developing Preliminary PFP schemes for Hydrocarbon Facilities – Introducing the PFPNet Design Fires Guidance Document.

A frequent requirement during the design of hydrocarbon project developments is to make an estimate of the type and extent of passive fire protection that might be installed on the facility as early as possible in the design process.   Very often this is needed when details are not fully defined, and the design is developing
