F&G Mapping Basics

About

Within the process industry in general, safety and efficiency are critical factors. Fire and Gas Detection Systems (FGDS) are critical tools in a plant utilised to minimise risk to personnel, the environment, and the facility. They detect leaks and dangerous build-ups of toxic or flammable gas cloud or the presence of fires that may cause escalation. Fire and gas mapping is used to determine the optimum layout of fire and gas detectors within a facility. It is usually carried out to ensure effective design and implementation of the fire and gas detection system, which plays a vital role to avoid the severe consequences from an initial event (e.g., loss of containment). This webinar is aimed at providing the basics of F&G Mapping study technique; from the principles of fire and gas detection and various types of detectors, various performance criteria to detect fire, flammable gas as well as toxic gas, and how to develop an optimised detector layout.
