Fire in the petrochemical industry - mcr TOWN
1000 degrees Celsius! 💥This temperature is reached by burning hydrocarbons within the first few minutes of a fire breaking out in an oil refinery.
Oil refineries are a key element of the energy chain for the economy. During the refining process, crude oil extracted from the reservoir is subjected to processes that transform it into various products, such as gasoline, diesel oil, lubricating oils and asphalt.
Fire hazards in the petrochemical industry occur at every stage, starting from extraction on the drilling platform, through transportation, storage of oil and gas, refining and storage and distribution of fuels and gases. Each of these stages requires the use of a multi-layer security system, in which the fire safety layer plays an important role.
Due to the consequences and characteristics of hydrocarbon fires in refineries, fire prevention, protection and limiting the consequences of fires must be particularly taken into account and more advanced compared to other industrial sectors.
🎥 In the new episode of the mcr TOWN series, we discuss fire threats in the petrochemical industry and protection methods based on fire protection solutions - in which we are the best!
