Fire and Gas Detection systems are of paramount importance to protect plant, product, reputation and personnel.
Safety is of supreme importance throughout the oil, gas and petrochemical industries due to the hazardous nature of the products recovered and created.
Additionally, production losses caused by vulnerable detection technologies that generate nuisance alarms and shutdowns are a further cause of concern that requires investigation.
However by utilizing expertise gained through many years experience and advanced software mapping tools these type of difficulties can be avoided.
Micropack specialise in the provision and implementation of high integrity Fire and Gas Detection systems to significantly reduce the risk of incidents and false alarms.
Micropack's experience with the susceptibility of infrared and ultraviolet technologies for detection of flame led to the development of a more reliable technology.
Visual flame detection was first developed by Micropack in 1997 and has went on to prove reliable in the face of false alarm sources that has been demonstrated by erstwhile technologies available on the market.

HazMap3D - Basic Tools - Using Multiple Background Models Concurrently
zhlédnutí 89Před 2 lety
This video shows how we can use multiple models in a single file set to 1) Break up a space / facility into different areas or different levels and look at each area or level one at a time by turning models on and off and 2) run assessments for different scenarios or situations - like assessing coverage for the roof of a floating roof tank when the tank is full vs half full.
HazMap3D - Flame - Aircraft Layout changes
zhlédnutí 50Před 2 lety
This video takes an in-depth look at how HazMap3D can be used with multiple 3D models or versions of modeled objects to examine how coverage changes as temporary objects or obstructions move within an area. We explore this using F-35 Lightning II fighters in a large hangar.
HazMap3D - Flame - Impact of Changing Representative Z
zhlédnutí 58Před 2 lety
This video explains how changing the "Representative Z" in HazMap3D impacts the assessments and the results. Changes to Representative Z are mostly only seen or felt when printing assessment reports and have minimal, if any, impact on how HazMap3D runs and displays information in the software.
HazMap3D - Flame Excluded objects still count as blockage for LOS
zhlédnutí 47Před 2 lety
This video shows how HazMap3D treats excluded objects / volumes for flame detection and demonstrates that a modeled object will still be treated as a visual obstruction when the internal volume is excluded - creating blocked LOS or a gap in coverage to the area behind it, relative to the detector(s). However, turning off background model files will cause them to no longer be considered.

This video discusses the design of optical flame detector layouts in HazMap3D and shows how basic and advanced features of HazMap3D can assesses coverage in many different ways and even with different aircraft arrangements in the hangar, allowing for robust designs that will deliver coverage where a hangar owner needs it when hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment may be on the line.
HazMap3D Waste Recycling, Sorting and Disposal Site Flame Detection Design and Mapping
zhlédnutí 54Před 3 lety
Waste Recycling and Sorting sites are coming under increased pressure to add optical flame detection and improve the sensitivity and response time of their flame detection systems. They often have large piles of flammable and non-flammable trash - some sorted and some unsorted - which can sometimes contain batteries and other inappropriate waste, which can spark off fires. This video shows how ...

Very surprised that you haven't patented this for Counter-Counter Infrared missile tech. Aim-9xx systems get spoofed all the time, but with your tech, you could have pre-programmed algorithms and databases of existing world wide flare spectrums so you in theory would create a missile that could not be spoofed. Yes? Wonder if you could even counter stealth tech, by identifying contrails at the higher and much colder temperatures where airstreams would be warmed by hot engine exhaust, in effect a visual cross section via lasers to detect air density could allow one to even see stealth contrails. Yes?
Great useful
Hi there..I don't hear any explanation about this video. What is it about??
Hi! Thank you for your comment! I've updated the video description to explain what's going on. Hopefully you'll find that helpful.
What size of structure or pipe is considered as obstruction? Will it change with the size of target fire
Thank you for the question! Any pipe or object is treated as an obstruction in the current version of HazMap3D (v21.03) and any space that a flame detector cannot "see" into is treated as a coverage gap, no matter how small, no matter what target fire size is set. This is done to give a more conservative and accurate representation of the level of coverage or blockage and not "assume away the question."
Would like yo have a free trial and would like to know more about the Software.
are you Irish? nice accent tho
I guess the most interesting part of this test is that minor contamination of the optics has little effect on detector range. The FDS301 works at visible wavelengths, but otherwise it detects brightness and flicker like any other optical detector. Water is transparent to visible light of course. Flicker frequency is barely affected by moderate contamination. Ironically, the thing that contamination _does_ affect quite quickly is the mirror used by many detectors (not the FDS301) to perform an optical verification test! If it didn't have the OV test then the detector would be fine in wet weather - but many aren't. But, it's just an automatic thing with most detector buyers - does it have an optical verification/integrity test?
Not quite sure what this one is supposed to show. Getting a lot of suspicious fires at your place of business? Look for a culprit wearing red ovies and carrying a gas wand! Our FDS301 detector can get you the video evidence, so don't worry about industrial tribunals.
I was there! What you're seeing is a pit the size of an public swimming pool filled with LNG and then some poor guy set light to it with a hot wand, before running for his life in heavy US style firefighting clothing. The camera is 32m from the fire, which is just getting started. I had to be there to kick off the recording and the heat was astonishing. I started the recording and then I too ran to join the crowd of people sheltering at 50m + !
Yes, it's a pity no explanation was provided. The video is demonstrating that the flame detector inset on the left can be blinded to fires if it has a modulated heat source in its field of view. You'll note that an "easy test fire" is burning in plain view but the red LED on the detector never turns on. The demonstration used a rotating chopper in front of an electric fire, but in real life this is known to be a problem with modulated heat sources such as steam plumes, air conditioning vents, or simply people walking past a metal object on a sunny day. To prove the point, at 0:34 the chopper is stopped (the fire keeps burning), and the detector instantly goes into alarm.
