SIRON - NETHERLANDS

Authorized distributor in Middle East

Authorized distributor in Middle East This technology is patented and has been extensively field tested and is used offshore regularly in the Dutch and UK sectors. Siron Dry Deluge Testing offers the client the justification needed to prove to the HSE and regulatory bodies that the deluge system remains in a fit for purpose condition in between mandatory wet testing.

Deluge systems, water spray systems, watermist systems, foam systems and compressed-air- foam systems require yearly obligatory testing. Since these open extinguishing systems are the primary care in case of fire, it’s testing is a bare necessity for both human and equipment (and environment). Testing of  Deluge systems, water spray systems, watermist systems, foam systems and compressed-air- foam system in the regular way causes an array of problems and difficulties.

  • It is a very time consuming process,
  • Wet testing is a costly business,
  • Wet testing causes corrosion and/or salt crusting and growth of organisms in flow pipes and nozzles,
  • Spray of sea water over the entire production facility is a hazard for the expensive processing equipment,
  • The excess of waste water will flood the sump tanks,
  • During testing the production process of oil and gas will come to a halt.

    The patented Dry Deluge Test from SIRON Fire Protection Services eliminates many of the regular problems. It uses pressurised smoke in stead of sea water. Any flow problem in pipes and nozzles will be proven and can be established in an easy and cost reducing way. SIRON Fire Protection Services will bring a fully equipped container on board of the platform. This work platform contains it’s own independent vacuum compressor, the Dry Deluge Test facility and tools & equipment for immediate repair of the deluge system.

    Advantages of the SIRON Dry Deluge Test
  • Segmented testing of the deluge system results in only minor disruption of the operating process,
  • Preparation for Dry Deluge Testing is considerably shorter and cheaper than with wet tests,
  • Leakage of flow pipes is easier to spot,
  • Residual water from former tests will be blown out of the deluge system,
  • No sea water will spray on to expensive process equipment,
  • Sump tanks will not overflow due to extra waste,
  • No new corrosion will grow in flow pipes and nozzles,
  • No new salt crust will form inside flow pipes and nozzles,
  • No new organism like e.g. sea shells will thrive in flow pipes

    As part of our services, we test deluge firefighting systems in a new and innovative way. Our tests render the deluge systems safer and more reliable, while the expenses are reduced
