BREVIK,
Norway: Chemical Waste Treatment Plant
NOAH (Norwegian Government Waste Material
Agency) site processes the waste which is mostly petroleum based and is delivered
to the site in steel drums; these drums are stored in a large warehouse before they are
processed.
Selected steel drums are opened and the contents are sampled; in the
process, the steel drums are shredded and the contents mixed to form a thick flowing
liquid that is later pumped into storage silos in an outdoor tank farm.
ABB Offshore Technology and Wormald Signalco A/S designed
and installed the fire and gas protection systems that include:
Storage and Process Areas -- 48 SharpEye Triple IR
(IR3)
Model 20/20I Flame Detectors.
Chemical Waste Sampling Area -- 2 SafEye Open Path Lamp
IR Gas
Detectors, Model 312 (23-98m) 7-30ft.
Storage Area -- 2 SafEye Flash IR, Model 224 (25-80m)
82-262ft.
ENICHEM
Chemical Plant, Ravenna,
Italy
SafEye Open Path IR (OPIR) Gas Detection Systems are installed in ENICHEM
Chemical Plant in Ravenna (Italy) that processes Butadiene-Butane. The Systems
are protecting the railway loading platforms.
LEK
Process Plant, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Spectrex SharpEye Optical Flame Detectors UV/IR (20/20L) were
recently installed at the LEK Pharmaceutical Factory ( Menges) for
the detection of hydrogen flames. The use of hydrogen feed-stock fuel in
the plant poses a real explosion/fire hazard and the unique UV/IR detectors that employ the near IR 2.7 micron
channel detect the invisible hydrogen
flames within several seconds from fire ignition.
Petrochemical Plant, China
Ten
SharpEye 20/20 LB Flame Detectors were installed to protect a
hydrogen storage area in a petrochemical plant in China.
The SharpEye 20/20 L/LB (UV/IR) Optical Detectors
were specifically designed to detect invisible hydrogen flames as
well as flames emitted by hydrogen-containing gases such as Ammonia
(NH3), Hydrazine
(N2H4), Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and
acids such as H2SO4.

Shell Petrochemical Plant,
Moerdijk, Holland
Shell
companies and BASF have put in place a joint venture for the construction of a
world-scale styrene monomer/propylene oxide plant at Moerdijk , The
Netherlands.
The Dutch engineering company ABB Lummus global and the gas contractor MSA
(The Netherlands branch) installed SafEye Open Path Gas Detection Systems as
follows:
For the original plant -- 8 SafEye Flash (IR)
Systems
Model 225 for perimeter (fence) detection.
For the new plant (MSPO 2) -- 30 SafEye Flash (IR)
Systems
Model 200.
In the first phase of the Retrofit program for the
original plant -- 30 SafEye Flash (IR) Systems Model 200.
Wytch Farm
Wytch
Farm oil field comprises three separate oil reservoirs that lie under Poole Harbor
and Poole Bay in Dorset with a total number of 29 injection
and 74 producing wells. Since embarking in April 1993 on the third phase of
development from an onshore site at Goathorn Peninsula, Wytch Farm has
established a number of drilling world records, including the distance of
step-out of the extended reach wells.
BP Amoco manages over 310 acres including a 64-acre
conservation area where 100,000 trees and shrubs are planted around the oilfield
and the pipeline route.
Because of the area's ecological importance, BP Amoco vigorously applied its
environmental protection policy, and won The Queen's Award for Environmental
Achievement 1995 in acknowledgement of the innovative, technologically
challenging and environmentally beneficial manner in which the offshore section
of the Sherwood reservoir is being developed.
Wytch Farm Storage Terminal is protected by Spectrex SafEye Gas Detection
Systems.
