Managing High-Stakes Petrochemical Fires
Some of the biggest safety challenges facing the operation of refineries or petrochemical facilities are controlling toxic or corrosive vapor cloud releases, suppressing hydrocarbon fires, and protecting and cooling structures or other exposures.
IDEX Fire & Safety engineers equipment that helps you stay ahead of these petrochemical fire risks.
Petrochemical Equipment
Our specialized manual and remote-controlled monitor systems, also known as industrial water cannons or fire monitors, deliver large volumes of water over long distances at high velocity so your crew can manage the fire from a safe distance.
Remote Controlled and Manual Monitors for Industrial Fires and Vapor Mitigation
Specifically designed for industrial applications and harsh environments, the Conquest Electric Remote Controlled Monitor System and Omega manual monitors give you optimal coverage, efficient flow, and a range of options for manual or remote control.
Benefits of a Petrochemical Monitor System
We work closely with engineering firms, distributors, contractors, and firefighters – designing a custom petrochemical fire monitoring solution to meet your needs.
-
Control the fire by distributing volumes of water or foam over extensive distances, minimizing exposure to personnel
-
Quickly suppress the fire by using high-pressure streams
-
Manage the monitor from a safe distance, enhancing firefighter safety
-
Use water efficiently, compared to hoses
-
Position monitors to reach locations like rooftops or storage tanks
-
Cool down structures and prevent reignition
Storm Electric Programmable Monitor System
The Storm Electric Programmable Monitor System provides a superior fog curtain and excellent straight stream reach coupled with precision nozzle positioning. The Storm is ideal for use as a petro-chemical monitor.
Move heavy objects safely and efficiently
There’s a faster solution to cumbersome clamps and pry bars that take up valuable resources and time. HURST tools and Vetter Lifting Bags give you a simpler, faster, safer solution – enabling your team to lift, spread, unbolt, hold in place, and more.
What Our Customers Are Saying
“The remote-controlled monitors on elevated towers give us much better coverage than we could achieve with ground monitors, and they allow us to utilize better fire protection capability in operating units with fewer personnel.”
- Russell Lowe, Fire Chief and Safety Supervisor, CHS Refinery in Laurel, MT
The CHS Refinery uses the Akron Brass Genesis hydraulic monitors on 30-foot towers to protect pumps and other vital components.
“This is a great system that we can use to trap accidental releases in the HF unit and now allow them to spread outside the refinery. We have the potential to spray a fog pattern at 6,000 gpm or more to trap any leaks. That’s a lot of water.”
- Russell Lowe, Fire Chief and Safety Supervisor, CHS Refinery in Laurel, MT.
The CHS Refinery uses 7 Akron Brass Storm electronic monitors with 2,000 gpm nozzles.
