All the advantages of passive fire protections

A fire broke out in a chemical industry: the fire exploded burning thousands of litres of solvents, there was an explosion and in a short time the plant burned down.

Unfortunately, this is not the scene of a film, but it is what happened last year in a company, that deals with the recovery of solvents and disposal of hazardous waste.

Clearly the consequences of this have been devastating and the damage is incalculable.

We report this story to reflect on how dangerous some sites are and how serious the consequences of such events can be, from both health and environmental point of view.

Unfortunately, despite the regulations, there are still many companies that do not take seriously the risk of fire; too often we think “it cannot happen”.

However, there are other companies which are aware of the legislation and  respect it, but do not know that there are systems that can help to reduce the risk of spreading a fire inside a plant.

We are talking about PFP (Passive Fire Protections), passive protection systems that can play a key role in slowing the spread of the fire and limiting its impact on a stream line, protecting it from flames.

When we talk about passive protection we mean all measures (whether they are devices or special materials), that can reduce the consequences of a fire, slowing the spread of flames.

Therefore, PFPs DO NOT prevent the outbreak of a fire, but limit its effects, protecting the “crucial” parts of a plant, which can thus continue to work properly until the situation returns under control.

This avoids or reduces possible interruptions.

To work properly, PFPs must:

  • have precise technical characteristics that guarantee resistance to flame and high temperatures for a certain period of protection;
  • be easily “adaptable” to the specific needs of each production site.

When we talk about these systems, someone is puzzled since he has in mind a product difficult to install, because not customizable according to individual needs. Or he thinks that the system can hinder any maintenance activities.

But there are systems easy to install and remove, without any downtime.

New Componit has been studying PFP systems since 2005 and after years of research and development has designed a flexible system called Pyroproof®, the insulation jacket  that can be custom-made according to customer needs.

Pyroproof® is composed of several layers:  an external cover, a series of reinforcement layers and insulating materials .

New Componit is able to guarantee the performance of this product in different fire scenarios, thanks to the numerous tests carried out over the years:

  • Pool Fire -Type Approval for actuators up to 120 minutes -tested in France at Efectis;
  • Pool Fire – Type Approval for valves up to 120 minutes – tested in France at Efectis;
  • Jet Fire – Type Approval for cylindrical sections and metal structures up to 120 minutes – tested in the UK at Advantica;
  • Blast Test – Type Approval for cylindrical sections and metal structures up to 1.85 bar pressure – tested in the UK at Advantica.

The main characteristics of Pyroproof® jackets are:

  • Easy installation/removal (without stopping the plant);
  • Easy handling;
  • Water, weather, UV, cold, chemical resistance;
  • Custom-made and in any shape.

Thermal insulation and energy saving in industrial plants

The increase in electricity costs is a very current topic that effects everyone: from private home to offices, from commercial structures to industrial plants.

The increase in electricity bills frightens and puts all categories in difficulty, heavily affecting the increase in prices that have occurred in many sectors.

Industrial plants, which have different types of production processes, are no exception! Control of consumption and energy saving have become a priority.

It’s not by chance that market currently offers countless solutions, including highly technological ones, with the purpose to reach greater efficiency.

This matter is equally important in energy systems and thermal power plants: the saving on consumption is closely linked to the limitation of heat dispersion that allows the system to work in the best way.

In these cases, heat loss can be avoided or kept under control, by means of proper thermal insulations, placed on equipment such as filters, valves, flanged couplings, heat pumps, pipe and engine parts.

Therefore, the insulation of some equipment allows a perfect working of the system and at the same time a control of energy consumption.

Thermal insulation intended as an opportunity

Nowadays, due to the increasing cost of bills, the aspect of energy efficiency, could be an additional incentive to overcome the fears of those who believe that insulation may be more of a “hindrance” than a benefit for their systems.

In fact, there are still a lot of doubts regarding the installation of thermal insulation.

For example, many think that insulation:

  • is not really necessary;
  • does not entail any benefits;
  • it is too expensive;
  • does not allow to carry out the usual maintenance works.

This kind of assertion, is now outdated and does not take into account either technological progress or the regulations about worker safety in production plants.

Energy saving, plant efficiency and safety of workers and machines have become the push towards a change of mentality and management of industrial production process. From this perspective, thermal insulation is no longer considered as a cost but as an opportunity, with economic savings.

In order to “solve the problem” of frequent maintenance, it is possible to install removable insulation, which unlike a fixed insulation system, can be removed and installed again without the intervention of skilled workers.

This type of systems can be removed and then put back even several times. Their duration over time depends on the quality of materials and production technology.

If the removable insulation is of good quality, it becomes a valid and cheap alternative to traditional fixed systems.

Removable thermal insulations have the following advantages:

  • the operators can approach the machines without risking burns or injuries
  • the company is in compliance with safety regulations
  • maintenance and supervision are quick and easy, thanks to the easy removal of insulation;
  • the system “works “at its best, reaching energy efficiency;
  • the initial investment in a high-quality removable jacket pays off very quickly, thanks to electricity savings and maintenance works that do not require the intervention of external operators.

Thanks to its solid experience in this field, New Componit can respond to these requests, by means of a wide range of products, consisting of different types of insulating jackets.

All New Componit products are produced with high quality materials and according to technologies that guarantee high performance from the point of view of thermal reduction and ease of installation and removal for plant maintenance.

New Componit offers a custom-made service called Efficiency Box® , which allows to respond to all customer needs, in order to make the production systems safer and  more efficient.

research development

Why a company that invests in research and development offer you more benefits?

How can I be sure that the materials, we use for our solutions, fully comply with the operating conditions and the required technical characteristics?

The possibility to test what we use, to understand exactly what happens to the different materials during the operation, to simulate extreme and stressful conditions, becomes a winning company asset.

To be able to show by means of tests, reports videos, analysis, what happens to the materials is an exceptional “plus” , which helps the customer to eliminate his doubts about the product he is buying!

To do this, it is necessary to use specialized laboratories or equip yourself with your own internal laboratory; a test room able of simulating the operating conditions and then processing the data, by means of special software and targeted data logger, capable of supporting the results of tests.

This is where the decisive “research and development” department comes into play; a strategic function in the company organization, which is entrusted with the company ability to build and preserve its competitive advantage.

diathermic oil

Removable textile insulation in presence of diathermic oil

How to insulate small sections of pipe, valves, flanged couplings, filters, heating pumps in presence of diathermic oil?

The diathermic oil has two characteristics: it causes a high temperature and a natural ooze of fluid itself that leads to dirty, pollute and damage the surfaces around and the element itself.

This is why there is the tendency not to insulate these elements, but this causes heating loss, high costs of energy and an unsafe working place for the operators.

They are not even insulated with traditional insulation, because in addition to having particular shapes difficult to insulate, the fluid that comes out of these elements damages the internal insulation, making the insulation itself a dangerous tank, at risk of fire.

What can we do? It is simple, once again we can use removable textile insulations, with high technological content; composed by fabrics different from the ones used in presence of steam. Fabrics especially made to ensure that the oozing is not absorbed and with an internal insulation such as needled glass and not mineral wool.

Technological solutions by means of removable insulation

Here we are together again to share technological solutions by means of removable insulation.

The topic of the day is noise. The question I am often asked is: How can I reduce the noise of a particular device like a fan, an engine, a compressor?

Well. First of all, it is necessary to have a technical expertise in the acoustic environment and be able to use calculation and analysis systems to determine what the noise frequencies are and how to reduce them.

Physically, to break them down, we’ll use acoustic absorbing materials, that properly work on the frequencies previously analyzed.

Furthermore we can use a combination of materials to achieve a better result.

But there are also problems of space and particular shapes, that these equipments sometimes have and which do not allow traditional insulation.

At this point a removable acoustic insulation can help us, it is perfect for any particular shapes and  it is easy to install and remove. Often it can also be combined to the heating insulation part, in this way we obtain a thermo-acoustic insulation, which allows energy savings .

If we did not have thermal insulation before, we had a waste of energy and therefore a waste o money.

In the end there is also the protection of the operators who work close to these devices.
