Fire Detection in Floating Roof Tanks (RIM SEAL Monitoring)

Advantages during operation:

• ATEX (can be used in zone 0)
• Long range; multiple tanks can be monitored
• Maintenance-free and hence no interruption owing to maintenance activities
• Mechanically robust cable design
• Fiber Optic sensor are immune to lightning and EMI
• Security against false alarm irrespective of large seasonal differences in temperature – Zero false alarms
• Unseen fires are detected in seconds

The sensor is installed around the perimeter and near the roof air relief vents. In case of a fire, heat would be exhausted through the vent.
