Enclosed Flooding IG100 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System For Natural Gas Refinery

Engineered for the extreme hazards of natural gas refineries, the IG100 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System combines advanced inert gas technology with rugged reliability, setting a new benchmark for safety in high-risk industrial environments.

1. Explosion-Resistant Inert Gas Suppression
The system utilizes nitrogen as its clean agent, the threshold for extinguishing Class B (flammable gas) and Class C (electrical) fires without triggering explosions. Unlike water or foam systems that fail in gas-rich atmospheres, the IG100 clean agent fire suppression system neutralizes risks from methane, propane, or hydrogen leaks, a critical advantage in refineries where vapor cloud explosions pose catastrophic threats.

2. Non-Conductive and Residue-Free Operation
Natural gas refineries house high-voltage switchgear, SCADA systems, and control panels essential for safe operations. The IG100 system’s non-conductive nitrogen agent eliminates short-circuit risks in energized equipment, a fatal flaw of water-based solutions. Post-suppression, the gas dissipates completely, leaving no corrosive residues on pipeline coatings, valve assemblies, or analytical instruments—reducing post-fire maintenance by 70% compared to dry powder systems.

3. Environmental and Operational Compliance
The nitrogen-based formula of the IG100 clean agent fire suppression system boasts zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP), complying with strict industry standards like API RP 2003 (Prevention of Ignitions) and NFPA 59A (LNG Standards).

 
Application:
 
1. Natural Gas Compressor Stations
In stations where methane is compressed for pipeline transport:
Gas Turbine Halls: The system suppresses fires from lubricant leaks or electrical faults in turbines, protecting expensive rotating equipment without downtime for residue cleanup.
Control Valve Rooms: Non-conductive nitrogen safeguards PLC systems and pressure regulators, ensuring uninterrupted operation of safety-critical shutdown sequences.

2. LNG Storage Terminals
At facilities handling liquefied natural gas:
Cryogenic Storage Tanks: The IG100 clean agent fire suppression system activates safely in sub-zero environments, suppressing leaks of LNG (boiling point -162°C) without compromising stainless steel tank integrity.
Loading Arms and Transfer Pumps: Rapid agent deployment prevents vapor cloud explosions during LNG loading/unloading, a scenario where traditional systems often fail due to (low-temperature) incompatibility.

3. Refinery Control Centers
In mission-critical control rooms managing process automation:
Distributed Control Systems (DCS): The residue-free agent protects server racks and HMI panels, ensuring no data loss or system corruption during fire events—vital for maintaining refinery-wide safety protocols.
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Panels: Non-conductive suppression preserves ESD circuitry, enabling rapid activation of fail-safe mechanisms even during active fires.

4. Processing Units and Fractionation Towers
In high-risk zones separating natural gas components:
Ethane/Propane Recovery Units: The system suppresses fires from volatile liquid leaks, such as ethylene glycol or amine solutions, without contaminating processing media.
Flare Systems and Combustors: Its rapid response contains fires in flare lines, preventing heat radiation damage to adjacent equipment.

5. Maintenance and Workshop Areas
In zones storing spare parts and lubricants:
Lubricant Storage Rooms: Safely suppresses Class B fires from hydraulic oils or greases, with zero residue to contaminate maintenance tools or replacement valves.
Welding and Cutting Stations: Non-conductive nitrogen mitigates risks from sparks near gas pipelines, a common hazard during turnaround maintenance.
