Public safety agencies, building officials, insurance carriers, system designer and owner may all have roles in analyzing hazards, risks and emergency-response factors for a specific LPG facility. Enhanced safety systems can be an attractive component in addressing concerns.

Minimizing the potential volume and duration of accidental LPG release is an important safety area. Beyond the protection against a system breech provided by excess flow valves, Total Product Control Systems and comprehensive Emergency ShutDown systems have evolved over time to offer superior containment capabilities.
TPCS/ESD applications normally include actuated valves to isolate all tank openings, fuel transfer connections and other selected piping and process equipment. Remote and automatic closure of these valves can quickly seal the system. Interlocks to main system control, site power supply, off-site alarms, etc. can yield controlled, safe shutdown and improved emergency response.

Gas & Fire
Detection

Gas and fire detection systems can be installed to monitor critical plant areas. Detection can be integrated within an ESD system for alarm and/or automatic shutdown of the plant. |
