PROBLEM 001
Sprinkler heads fail through blocking caused by marine by-products , causing system failure and expensive , repetitive service and maintenance regimes .
Sprinkler heads that have not been tested against all maritime byproducts will fail when used in a salt water environment . This has been proven during real time fires and when compliance testing is complete .
It takes just 5 grams of salt water by-product to block a standard sprinkler head .
LESSONS 001
• Fire escalation
• Loss of life
• Loss of assets
• Loss of reputation
• Expensive servicing regimes
• Screens contribute to failing
• Screens reduce flow
• Nozzle design failure
• Screen design failure
• Wrong testing for approvals
• Fail & fix process fail in the event of a fire !
• Initial system design noted for fresh water delivery supply
• Maritime classification required
• Blockage testing required
• All assets are at risk
• Today , approx . 6.8 million sprinkler heads at risk of failure globally
SOLUTION 001 RIGDELUGE ® CONCENTRIC FLOW TECHNOLOGY ADAPTOR™ WATER TO THE FIRE ON DEMAND ; FIRST TIME , EVERY TIME !
Industry standard equipment is proven to fail when a fire occurs , with the worst-case scenario being recorded in the oil and gas industry .
The RigDeluge ® Concentric Flow Technology Adaptor™ ( CFT™ ) is proven technology that gets water to the fire , on demand , on first time system activation by protecting the sprinkler heads .
The RigDeluge ® CFT™ Adaptor will allow existing sprinkler nozzles to operate more efficiently in a maritime environment .
This technology is designed through the failings associated with industry standard screens and sprinkler heads , which contribute to systems failing daily during service and maintenance programs .
Note : The RigDeluge ® CFT Adaptor™ is a product that is proven in the field and has been showcased in a 40-year old system . After 8 wet tests over a period of 2 years , it still recorded a 100 % pass rate with no sprinkler heads blocking on first time activation .
The product is designed to be retrofitted , so no shut down is required for installation .
It ’ s simple - remove your existing sprinkler head and fit it with the RigDeluge ® CFT™ Adaptor . Immediately you will improve the safety of your asset , your people , the environment and the reputation of your company .
COSTS 001
The RigDeluge ® CFT™ Adaptor costs less than any other solution on the market on initial install , with savings of over £ 38K per system wet test ( if you are under an extended wet test regime to maintain
compliance ). 8 X £ 38K = £ 304K x Systems on Vessel = (£) *
Pipe Replacement = £ 2m - £ 10m depending on material and sprinkler heads will still block . This has been proven .
* Cost per unit will be dependent on supplier .
The RigDeluge ® CFT™ Adaptor is set to change the shape of sprinkler heads used in a maritime environment and the testing regimes used to approve current industry standard nozzles and screens .
