Sistema aditivo de prevenção contra incidentes com incêndio e danos ao meio ambiente em área industrial do setor petróleo.

Abstract

Most of the oil refinery existing in Brazil and in the wolrd has been working whith high technology due to prevention on fire and environment matters. But, recent history shows that one of the greatest problems getting care whith fire, it is the fact that when a tank explodes, happens that the tank's cover fellsover one of the, or the only one, foam chamber, damaging it. Then, the foam chamber system will not work properly, provoking a delay on fire combat. Another point that has been occurring, it is the fact that the mixture of water and FGL(Foam Generator Liquid), for example, takes an extensive period of time to reach those foam chambers, allowing with this, enough time to accelerate the temperature's rise, making worse the effort of taking of the fire propagation. Finally, another safe easy way to add to the prevention system it is to leave the fire water line system pre-pressured. It allows a faster answer to the fire combat needing. When a tank gets under fire, besides human and material losses, happens a massive chock on the environment due to a high pollution level of contaminants discharged by the incomplete combustion reaction that occurs during the time of the incident. This pollution charge happens to be intensive and with continuos feeding for a long period of time. The neighborhood, their population, villages, forest, rivers etc, will receive a huge amount of polluted matter, and health and environment problems can last for a long period of time. The main idea of this work it is to add those excellent prevention systems that already exist, some few and simple procedures thet will make then more active to held with fire and environment matters on the Petroleum Industry.
