Frequently Asked Questions

What fire safety equipment is used in petrochemical industries?

Common systems include industrial extinguishers, hydrants, foam firefighting systems, alarms, fire detection, suppression systems, spill control equipment and PPE.

Why is foam used for petrochemical fire protection?

Foam can be used for selected flammable liquid hazards because it can help separate the fuel surface from oxygen and suppress vapours.

Why are tank farms high-risk areas?

Tank farms may store large quantities of flammable liquids, so they require carefully planned fire water, foam, hydrant, detection and emergency response arrangements.

What does a petrochemical fire safety AMC include?

AMC may include extinguishers, hydrants, pumps, alarms, hose reels, sprinklers and suppression systems.
