Flammable liquids are integral to many industrial processes, including chemical manufacturing, petroleum refining, pharmaceuticals, and flavor and fragrance manufacturing. However, the very properties that make these liquids useful also make them hazardous. The risk of fires or explosions when handling flammable liquids cannot be overstated, which is why robust safety measures are crucial. The Importance…
FireChek triggers quickly, securing pneumatically operated process line valves LNG transport is growing as supplies for natural gas continue to grow in the U.S. LNG is used to transport natural gas to markets, where it is regasified and distributed through natural gas pipelines. The carriers store the LNG in cryogenic tanks during transport. The United…
The Problem: A large chemical company was looking to purchase a rush project for emergency shutdown valves for their gas and chemical lines to meet insurance requirements. The automated ESD valves needed to be tied into their main fire alarm system to fail closed upon a triggering of their fire alarms. The specification called for…
FireChek® with Quick Exhaust and Pilot Valves Quickly Shutdown Large Pneumatic Actuators in Fire Situations FireChek® FC-4 Series-Heat Activated Pneumatic Shut Off Valve Clark NJ – Now FM approved FireChek® thermal shutoffs * with resettable memory shape alloy can be used to automatically shut down a pneumatic control system when a nearby fire occurs, or…
Factory Mutual’s rigorous testing of the FM Fire-Safe ensures the quality and reliability of the shutdown system. Factory Mutual certifies that the FM Fire-Safe emergency shutdown valves * have been tested and will protect properties from loss according to their internationally recognized FM 7440 standard for liquid and gas safety shutoff. To meet this standard,…
The two most common methods used to trigger a thermal shutoff, eliciting a failure position in pneumatically operated Emergency Shut Down and Emergency Isolation Valves are: (1) Fusible Plugs, and (2) Plastic Tubing. Both of these techniques have been used in emergency shutdown systems for years in refining, chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, flavors and…
When selecting a thermal or electro-thermal shutoff, it is important to determine the correct valve material for the media you will be using, the correct size, the regulations and industry standards you need to conform to, the valve type (ball or butterfly), and end connections. Online configurators, such as the FM Fire-Safe Shutoff configurator makes…
FM Fire-Safe Shutoff emergency block valves prevent or thwart catastrophic losses. Too frequently small accidents become major losses when fuel continues to flow in an emergency situation. When used correctly, these FM Fire-Safe Shutoffs keep hazardous materials from entering an area with an existing fire, saving major losses, and possibly even lives. Problem Fuel is…
FM Fire-Safe Fusible Link Valve Protects Refineries and Chemical Processors from Fire Hazards The FM Fire-Safe Shutoff fusible link valve assemblies from Assured Automation are API 607 and Factory Mutual approved for flammable liquids, and are commonly used to: To shut down hazardous lines when fire occurs, and Activate sprinkler systems to control fire These…
Having a fire safety shutoff system in place is quite important at any facility which deals with flammable liquids or gasses. Whether processing or consuming flammable materials, safety is paramount. Fuel, toxic chemicals, or even oxygen lines can be susceptible if they are not stored, maintained, and transported properly. Regardless of the hazardous material at…
The FM Fire-Safe Electro-Thermal Link ball valve is activated by either heat or signal from smoke detector to dump flammable fluids to another source. The fire safe thermal shutoff closes to prevent fueling of a fire in petroleum and chemical processing plants. In his presentation on Emergency Block Valves (EBV) to the AIChE sponsored Global…
Problem: A major pharmaceutical company was seeking to improve its fire safety systems. They were currently using either fusible plugs or plastic tubing on their automated valves. The fusible plug/plastic tubing would melt under high temperatures venting the valve actuators and sending the valves to their fail positions. Their onsite fire department, comprised of plant…
