Floating roof storage tanks present significant fire risk, particularly around the rim seal where flammable vapours can accumulate. Early detection is critical to preventing escalation and ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments.
To address this challenge, Bandweaver deployed its FireLaser fiber optic Linear Heat Detection system, installing sensing cable around the tank rim to provide continuous temperature monitoring. The system enables early identification of abnormal heat build-up and delivers precise fire location with metre-level accuracy.
Designed for use in demanding petrochemical environments, the fiber optic system is fully passive, resistant to electromagnetic interference, and unaffected by vibration or harsh conditions. This ensures reliable, long-term performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
Integrated with fire panels and configured with advanced alarm strategies, including maximum temperature and rate-of-rise detection, the solution provides early warning and rapid response capability across multiple tanks.
The result is a robust, high-performance fire detection solution that enhances safety, reduces risk, and supports the protection of critical storage infrastructure.
