Protex Systems complete Fire and Gas Mapping reports for a leading Hydrogen refuelling manufacturer.

Originally Protex were asked to complete the Detection Mapping of a single Hydrogen Refuelling Depot by a leading provider of these sites, which had a gas detection system installed. Following the success of the Project we were awarded an additional 4 sites to complete a survey and report.

The basis of the report was to be in line with the new British Standard BS60080:2020 Explosive and Toxic Atmospheres: Hazard Detection Mapping

The term "Fire and Gas Detection Mapping" covers a range of procedures that assess the efficiency of Fire and Gas detection layouts against specific "idealised" targets. In essence the practice of Fire and Gas Detection Mapping ensures adequate densities of detectors are distributed throughout hazardous zones.

The process starts with a consideration of the risk and the assessment of a suitable 'detection target' for the zone (fire size or the size of the gas cloud). This is linked to the type of facility and may also be determined by your companies 'Fire and Gas Philosophy' or other hazard assessment studies.
