Do you know how to protect your industrial structures against fire?

Why protect steel from fire when it doesn’t burn? This is a frequently asked question, despite the well-known fact that steel is a fireproof material. Under load, steel, a great heat conductor, begins to lose its design safety margin at temperatures above 300°C, and its strength decreases as its deformation increases. Excessive deformation can cause steel to collapse and compromise compartmentalization and integrity.

Problems with power quality at electrical installations

To varying degrees, there are many types of disturbances that can affect the electrical power supply of customers that are connected to a public power distribution system. These can include transient overvoltages, voltage dips, harmonics issues, voltage flicker or fluctuations, or unexpected but short-lived interruptions. Power quality issues can arise from both the distributor system and from client installations. In addition to disturbing the plant’s power system, the client’s perturbating equipment is likely to affect the distribution system and cause cross-disturbances with other clients, hence the reason for emission limits imposed by the distributor on clients.

Operating remotely: using cameras as sensors (CAMAAS)

Operating a remote site is quite challenging when the telecommunications bandwidth is limited, especially when using CCTV cameras to monitor critical equipment or processes. Process cameras are normally installed in strategic locations to indicate spills, blockage, or to ensure product quality or specifications. In some cases, there are so many cameras that it makes it impossible for operational personnel to optimally use them. Result: Cameras and digital video recorders are not used to their fullest potential.
