Floating roof tanks

Listing ID #3578824

The most vulnerable area on a floating roof tank is the rim seal area. Stored product vapor will collect in the rim and with air it is providing a hazardous mixture. Lightning or sparks can cause a fire to occur. As the fire is hidden by the tank wall, the presence of a detection system is of utmost importance. As it is relatively simple to extinguish an incipient fire, Saval developed a combined detection AND an extinguishing system, built-into one unit. The CFI rim seal protection system is a fully integrated modular system, which utilizes an integral detection system – so no separate detection systems such as electric linear heat detection or separate pneumatic detection tube is required.
