Products and integrated systems
FPE cover the complete range of fire protection systems and equipment including:
10
Multivalve deluge Skid
Single deluge skid
Deluge valve skid with integrated foam tank
Helideck nozzle integrated system
Sprinkler systems
Multivalve deluge skids are suitable for use in compact installations such as offshore platforms, where the distance between protected areas is limited. All our deluge skids are based on the Inbal elastomeric pressure regulating deluge valve. Valve and piping materials may be titanium, duplex stainless steel, cunifer etc. Skid enclosures are made from stainless steel, insulated and heated if required. Skids are available with foam proportioning facilities, and can be equipped with full size test lines for realistic functional testing.
Single valve deluge skids are available for installations where it is nescessary to install the valve skid adjacent to the protected area. The valve skid uses the Inbal pressure regulating deluge valve. The standard design for all deluge skids is as shown, with rigid lightweight corrugated stainless steel enclosure. Deluge skids can also be supplied as open skid units. The valve skids will normally include a manual by-pass valve. The systems are available with instrument air control, or direct firewater control for system release.
Deluge valve skids are available with different types of foam supply arrangements. Foam can be supplied pressurized from a central foam unit, or as the one shown here with the foam tank integrated into the skid design as part of the corrugated stainless steel enclosure at the back of the unit. Mixing of foam into the firewater can be achieved by use of balanced pressure foam proportioners, foam inductors, constant flow foam valves, or waterdriven foam proportioning pumps.
This system includes a deluge skid with an integrated foam tank, and a foam proportioning unit. The discharge line from the skid connects to a piping distribution network installed directly underneath the helideck. The nozzles are fitted into the deck structure and the nozzle surface is flush with the surface of the deck. When the system is activated, the nozzles pops up, and provides a spray of water/foam up to 7 metres above the deck. The system is completely safe for personnel evacuating a helicopter, and very efficient under all wind conditions.
Sprinkler systems are used for protection of living quarters, offices etc on an oil and gas installation. The sprinkler skid is based on the Inbal pressure regulating valve, and can be made as wet or dry pipe system. Wet pipe systems will normally have a special fresh water connection for the distribution pipework. The sprinkler can also be connected to a fresh water tank for an initial supply of fresh water upon system release followed by a firewater supply

Water mist systems
Central foam skid systems
Gaseous systems
Surge pressure compensator
Active hydrophore unit
Water mist systems are used for protection of gas turbine enclosures, emergency generator rooms, fire pump rooms and other small machinery spaces. The unit is supplied in a corrugated stainless steel enclosure. This can be heated and insulated if required. The unit contains a stainless steel water tank, sized to fit the protected room, and one or more high pressure nitrogen cylinders. The system operates at low pressure, and contains all necessary instrumentation for system pressure control, water tank level indication, automatic activation etc.
Central foam skid units are used on installations where it is convenient to have one central foam unit providing foam liquid to all required areas. The Skid unit consists of a foam tank, foam pumps, necessary pressure control valves, and instrumentation for safe operation. The foam tank is made from stainless steel and can be insulated and heated if necessary to prevent freezing. The foam pumps are normally powered electrically.
Gaseous systems are used for protection of electrical rooms, not suitable for water mist protection. Available systems employs CO2, Inergen or Argonite as extinguishing agent. The systems are normally supplied with a stainless steel enclosure for environmental protection of the equipment. These systems can be fitted with various system release barriers for personnel safety and are sized to fit the protected room. They can be made as a single room protection system, or multiple room protection with release line selector valves.
Pressure surges can be a serious problem in firewater systems. One typical problem is column separation and vacuum in high firewater risers. Problems occur when the deluge valve opens before the firepump is running. The surge pressure compensator aleviates this problem by injecting compressed air into the top of the riser, this maintains a positive pressure. When the firepump starts, an air cushion is “shot� into the firewater piping, immediately establishing a pressure of 8-9 Barg, this dampens the velocity of the water column efficiently, and prevents damaging water surges.
Some firewater systems have an arrangement and lay-out where the surge pressure compensator is not effective. In such cases the active hydrophore unit can be a suitable alternative. Instead of injecting compressed air into the firewater system, this unit injects water at a minimum pressure to prevent vacuum in risers. The tank is pressurized by ultra rapid responding air pressure regulators, fed from high pressure cylinders. The tank is sized to cover the time delay between the opening deluge valves and starting of the fire pump.

Swinging hosereel, central firepoint
Dual agent hosereel
Fixed hosereel
Fixed foam hosereel
Firewater hydrant
Swinging hosereels are very efficient for fire extinguishing in living quarter areas and in open deck areas. The hosereel cabinets are stainless steel made, insulated and heated if required, and available for open wall - or recessed mounting. The hosereel can be fitted with 1” or 1 ¼” hose. The central firepoint unit can also be fitted with a portable extinguisher, first aid kit, and a torch. The rigid hosereel is made with water ways in titanium or bronze alloy, designed to give a minimum pressure drop for ma ximum flow.
A variety of dual agent hosereel units which have the extremely efficient combination of dry powder and water/foam are also available. These units are suitable for manual use on helicopter decks and in areas with high risk of hydrocarbon fires. The standard units have a 250 kg powdertank. Foam is either supplied from a built in foam tank, or from a central foam system through a pressurized foam ring main. The units are enclosed with an insulated and heated stainless steel enclosure. The hosereel is available with waterways in titanium or bronze alloy.
Fixed hosereels with 1 ½” hose are suitable for use in open deck areas as an alternative to traditional hydrants. The hosereel is a rapidly activated, powerful unit. Waterways are made in titanium or nickel aluminium bronze, framework and drum arrangement is made from rigid stainless steel. The hosereel unit can be made freestanding or installed in a stainless steel cabinet which can be insulated and heated if required.
The fixed hosereel is also available with foam. The foam hosereel is equipped with 1 ½” hose, and incorporates a stainless steel foam tank and a pick-up inductor for injection of foam liquid. The foam tank is available in various sizes. The foam tank can also be insulated and heated if required.
Firewater hydrants are used in open deck areas for manual fire fighting. They can be supplied with or without pressure regulating hydrant valves, and will normally have cradles or racks suitable for storage of collapsible hydrant hoses. The inlet manifold and hydrant valve is available in titanium, cunifer/alubronze or other materials. The cabinet is made in stainless steel, and can be heated if required.

Firewater monitors
Autofog monitor nozzle
Deluge nozzles
Nozzle adaptors
High capacity nozzles
FPE supply a wide variety of monitors. These include; manual monitors, automatic oscillating monitors and hydraulic or electric remote controlled monitors. The picture shows an electric remote controlled monitor for 24 V operation. All functions, horizontal and vertical movement and jet/ spray pattern on the nozzle can be controlled by joystick or pushbuttons. The electric motor and arrangement is EEx(de) for operation in “zone 1� areas. The monitor is made of cast bronze, with the motors in stainless steel.
This monitor nozzle has a built in device to ensure that it returns to fog position once the water pressure is off. This means that the nozzle will always start in the fog position. This monitor nozzle is intended for helicopterdecks or other areas where personnel may be hit by the water stream from the monitor. By automatic start up in fog position, it means personnel will not get injured. Once the water pressure is on, the nozzle can be manually operated into any full jet or spraypattern. The monitor nozzle is made in bronze.
FPE supply a vast range of deluge nozzles including medium and high velocity covering all spray angles and K-factors. The nozzle comes with UL listing, and are available in titanium, bronze or brass materials.
Nozzle adaptors are used in combination with deluge nozzles for object protection. The nozzle adaptor allows the nozzle to be easily adjusted into its optimal orientation, to provide the best possible coverage of the protected object. The adaptor allows the nozzle to be offset up to 28 degrees off centre from the pipefitting in any direction. It can then be locked in position. The nozzle adaptor can be supplied in titanium, bronze or brass materials.
High capacity nozzles are suitable for use in areas where, because of the distribution piping network, it is impractical to use traditional deluge nozzles. These nozzles have a higher flow, and a larger coverage than deluge nozzles. The K- factor of the nozzles can be easily altered, and the spray angle can also be adjusted from straight stream to wide fog. The shown nozzle has a built in device which allows for easy adjustment of the direction of the spray. This can be offset up to 28 degrees from the centre line in any direction.
