The Promat Solution for the Petrochemicals Industry

Promat has developed, for the Petrochemical industries, a range of fire-proofing systems that restrict the effects of hydrocarbon fires on structures and vessels.

The systems incorporate product groups that include spray or trowel applied coatings, adhesives/keycoats/sealants, topcoats and reinforcement/fixings.

Petrochemical fires and passive fire protection

The Promat system provides highly effective passive fire protection for onshore petrochemical and power complexes, and offshore oil and gas production projects.

Petrochemical fires are those sustained by hydrocarbon-based products, such as chemicals, gas and petroleum, found in Petrochemical industry projects.  Whereas an active fire protection system reacts to heat and tries to put out the fire, a passive fire protection system insulates a steel or concrete structure from the effects of fire and ensures that the structure does not reach temperatures which cause the steel to buckle and collapse, or concrete to spall.
