Enagas Barcelona Offloading Terminal and Tank Farm

The gas storage offloading terminal and tank farm is owned by Enagas (Spain) and engineered by Helios Group (Spain). The fire and gas contractor for the project is Notifier (Spain).

The project was installed at Enagas (Spain) during the 1^st quarter of 1998.

At the terminal, methane gas is received in large gas tanks from Algeria, then offloaded at Barcelona Terminal and subsequently distributed to most of eastern Spain.

118 SharpEye Triple IR (IR³) Flame Detectors protect gas storage tanks and gas transmission pipes.

All IR³ Detectors are connected via addressable modules to the Notifier AM 2020 intelligent, addressable fire alarm control panel, which can individually identify and control each IR³ SharpEye Flame Detector.

Based on the information gathered from the network of the IR³ Flame Detectors, the operator can activate the release modules either from the panel by software or manually.

El Paso Tank Farm Installation

The standard Model IR³ is calibrated to search for liquid or solid fire characteristics.  LPG fires have different characteristics: less flicker and cleaner burning. IR³ Model G is specially calibrated for gas fires. The sensitivity is reduced to 2/3 that of the regular IR³.

The photo above left depicts an installation at the Diamond Shamrock/Ultramar propane storage facility in El Paso, Texas. The project consists of 22 explosion-proof SharpEye IR³ Detectors mounted on poles -- looking down each row of tanks. Each detector has a hood attached which restricts the view to a specific zone of detection.

Gas De France, Donges, France

SharpEye Triple IR (IR3) Optical Flame Detectors are protecting the gas storage facility of Gas De France at Donges in western France. The small and light-weight detectors have an extended detection range enabling detection of the invisible LPG/LNG flames.

Petrol Tank Farm, Ljubljana, Slovenia 

Petrol Tank Farm in Ljubljana, Slovenia is protected by 16 Spectrex SharpEye Triple IR (IR³) Detectors. The detectors are located mainly in the tank area, with  12 units  located on the Tanks Floating Roofs, and the rest on the Railroad Terminal. The detectors overlook the entire floating roof area, monitoring for the occurrence of flames caused by fugitive fuel vapors.

Sermin Tank Farm,  Koper, Slovenia

45 units of Spectrex SharpEye Triple IR ( IR³ ) have been installed on the Sermin Tank Farm in Koper, Slovenia.  38 units of the SharpEye Triple IR  ( IR³ ) were installed on the  Tanks Floating Roofs, and the rest were installed on  the Railroad Terminal and in the control rooms of the pump stations.
