Darchem Engineering - Passive Fire and Blast Protection Systems


Darchem Engineering Limited is involved in the design, test, certification, manufacture and installation of passive fire and blast protection systems for the Hydrocarbon industry. Products include Darmatt flexible blankets, Darshield rigid enclosures, Darmet radiant heat shields and Darmatt KM1 composite boards. These are produced at Darchem Thermal Protection, a dedicated business unit specialising in solving passive fire protection problems.

FACILITY

Darchem Thermal Protection has a world class facility in the North East of England which incorporates dedicated manufacturing cells, computer aided design and a project management team interfacing with the customer to ensure contractual requirements are achieved.

DARMATT - FLEXIBLE PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION BLANKETS

Darmatt is designed to protect vessels, pipelines, valves, actuators, control lines etc. and is fully tested. Protection against blast overpressure up to 1.6bar and hydrocarbon jet fire up to 2hrs can be provided with this system.

DARSHIELD - RIGID FIRE PROTECTION ENCLOSURES

Darshield enclosures are designed and manufactured specifically to fit vulnerable and critical items of equipment. Up to 2hrs protection against flame temperatures in excess of 1,200°C can be provided. Features resistant to both blast and jet fires can be incorporated into the design.

DARMET - RADIANT HEAT SHIELDS

Flare stack radiant heat shields - Protects flare stack from radiant heat and has been tested to reduce heat flux levels by up to 95% in thermal conditions in excess of 700°C. Darmet radiant heat shields can withstand flame lick and are constructed from high grade materials selected to perform and resist corrosion under the most onerous environmental and operational conditions.

Vertical radiant heat shielding - Darmet vertical heat shielding is designed to protect structures, plant and personnel from operational or emergency high temperature. The system is fully tested and carries all necessary certification.

WEATHER WALLING

Weather walling and rated firewalls are designed to suit the environmental, operational or emergency conditions anticipated on an offshore structure.

DARMATT KM1 - COMPOSITE FIRE PROTECTION

Darmatt KM1 is a recently developed endothermic semi-rigid board containing ceramic fibre sheets incorporating a strongly endothermic material, which assists the board to absorb heat during a fire scenario.

EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Gas turbine and diesel exhaust systems, incorporating thermal and acoustic insulation if required.

RESEARCH AND TESTING

Darchem Thermal Protection Systems can call on the services of Darchem Flare, a sister business unit, which is a NAMAS accredited test facility. Darchem Flare carries out a range of fire and other tests to suit customer and industry specifications.

QUALITY

Darchem Engineering is accredited to BS EN ISO 9001 in addition to carrying major client approvals.

CLIENT LISTING

A partial client reference list includes ADMA OPCO, AGIP, Amerada Hess, Amoco, ARCO, BHP, BP, British Gas, Chevron, Conoco, Elf, Esso, Maersk, Marathon Oil, Mobil, Norsk Hydro, Phillips, Saga, Shell, Statoil, Total and Woodside Petroleum.
