Oil & Gas
Upstream and downstream oil and gas facility fire protection systems.
Oil and gas facilities operate with inherent fire risks from hydrocarbon processing, storage, and handling. From offshore platforms to refineries and fuel depots, these facilities require robust fire protection systems capable of responding to high-intensity fires. BMS Investments provides specialized fire suppression solutions for the oil and gas sector, designed to meet the stringent safety requirements of this high-risk industry. Our systems protect personnel, assets, and the environment while ensuring regulatory compliance and operational continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fire suppression is used in oil and gas facilities?
Oil and gas facilities typically use foam-based systems for hydrocarbon fires, including deluge systems for process areas and fixed foam systems for storage tanks. The specific system depends on the hazard type, with foam concentration and application rates designed for the specific fuel type.
How do you protect fuel storage tanks?
Fuel storage tanks require fixed foam systems on the tank itself, along with dike and bund protection. We design systems to API and NFPA standards, including foam chambers, pourers, and monitors for comprehensive protection.
What detection systems are used in oil and gas?
Oil and gas facilities use fire and gas detection systems including flame detectors (UV/IR), gas detectors for flammable and toxic gases, heat detection, and smoke detection. These integrate with emergency shutdown systems for rapid, coordinated response.
What regulations apply to oil and gas fire protection?
Oil and gas facilities must comply with API standards, NFPA codes, and local regulations including the Petroleum Products Act. Our systems are designed to meet these requirements, and we provide documentation for regulatory audits and insurance assessments.
