PFPNet Design Guidance Book No 1: PFP for Critical Process Control Equipment

One of the 2023 project commitments from PFPNet is to start the development of the Guidance Books that will define the procedures for the testing, assessment, classification, specification and end use of passive fire protection (PFP) systems used in the hydrocarbon sector.  They will be applicable for all the types of PFP systems that are used in the hydrocarbon sector.  

It is planned to produce a series of these books for various end use (for steelwork, critical process control equipment, penetration sealing, vessels and pipework, etc).  The first of these books will be for the PFP systems used to protect Critical Process Control Equipment (CPCE). 

PFPNet, with the approval of the PFPNet Steering Committee, has appointed Ian Bradley to write this first document.  Ian is proposing that the work is done in conjunction with a Certification Authority and an OEM supplier.  Ian drafted the CPCE PFP fire resistance test standard, so he can reflect its intended use in this Guidance Book.

PFPnet

PFPNet is an independent, subscription-funded body, dedicated to raising standards in the use of PFP in industries where hydrocarbons are present. PFPNet will achieve this aim by setting a future technical agenda, and educating based on what has been learned from the past.

PFPNet is a not-for-profit industry-funded body focused on serving the needs of the users of hydrocarbon fireproofing materials and systems, through a focus on education, training, capturing and retaining existing knowledge, researching key topics, clarifying points of confusion and disseminating this to the membership, and to the industry at large – all with the aim of improving quality. PFPNet is focused on the needs of the users of PFP.
