Petrochemical Applications

Fire & Blast/Explosion Protection is an increasingly important design consideration for specifiers, architects, insurance companies and risk managers throughout the petrochemical industry. Process plants in the petrochemical industry handle hydrocarbons and other volatile fuels that can cause accidental fires and explosions. Seldom do these accidental fires & explosions happen, when they do occur the effects can be devastating on human life, the environment, business operations and can have devastating financial ramifications. One of the methods that can be employed to mitigate the effects of such accidents is the use of Modubuild explosion protection products and systems.
