Fireproofing for Petrochemical Facilities

Fireproofing for Petrochemical Facilities
Available for download

Fireproofing is employed in refineries and petrochemical plants to minimize the escalation of a fire that would occur with the failure of structural supports and the overheating of pressure vessels.  The damage that fire could potentially do very early on, could add significant fuel to the fire.

Fireproofing is employed in refineries and petrochemical plants to minimize the escalation of a fire that would occur with the failure of structural supports and the overheating of pressure vessels.  The damage that fire could potentially do very early on, could add significant fuel to the fire.  The purpose of fireproofing therefore, is to buy time.  The traditional method of fireproofing has been poured-in-place concrete or gunite.  Other fireproofing materials, such as lightweight cements, prefabricated cementitious board, and intumescent coatings are used to a lesser extent, primarily in areas deemed less critical and where weight reduction is a significant benefit.

The use of passive fire protection (PFP) materials plays an integral role in mitigating fire risk in commercial buildings. Traditional application of these materials has been on-site following the erection of structural steel. Their mechanical durability, exposure to weather and in-flexibility have been a major concern for construction managers and architects.
