Application of fire suppression materials on suppression of LNG pool fires
Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 2011An LNG pool fire is considered one of the main hazards of LNG, together with LNG vapor dispersion. Suppression methods are designed to reduce the hazard exclusion zones, distance to reach radiant heat of 5 kW/m2, when an LNG pool fire is considered. For LNG vapor dispersion, the hazard exclusion zone is the distance travelled by the LNG vapor to reach ...

Reexamining Fire Suppression Impacts on Brushland Fire Regimes
Science, 1999California shrubland wildfires are increasingly destructive, and it is widely held that the problem has been intensified by fire suppression, leading to larger, more intense wildfires. However, analysis of the California Statewide Fire History Database shows that, since 1910, fire frequency and area burned have not declined, and fire size has not ...

Forest Fire Spread and Suppression in DEVS
SIMULATION, 2004In this article, the authors discuss modeling and simulation of forest fire spread and suppression using the discrete event system specification (DEVS) cell space approach in DEVSJAVA. The event-based modeling approach enables efficient simulation of cell space and allows one to obtain timely simulation-based predictions of forest fire spread and ...

Prevention and suppression of metal packing fires
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2003Structured packing has been widely used because of large surface area that makes possible columns with high capacity and efficiency. The large surface area also contributes to fire hazards because of hydrocarbon deposits that can easily combust and promote combustion of the thin metal packing materials.

Fire Suppression with Inert Gas Agents
Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, 2001Total flooding fire suppression tests of pure argon (IG-01) and an inert gas mixture (IG-541) were conducted in a 121 m 3 compartment with simulated electronic- cabinet fires, wood-crib fires, liquid-pool fires and spray fires. Both agents extinguished the test fires by reducing the oxygen concentration in the compartment.

Fire Suppression Effectiveness for Simultaneous Fires: An Examination of Fire Histories
Western Journal of Applied Forestry, 1990Abstract We examined fire and weather records for areas of the western United States for the period 1970-1984 to determine the effects of simultaneous wildfire occurrence on fire suppression efforts. Burning conditions were accounted for by use of short strings of fires which involved simultaneous suppression efforts.

Fire suppression by low-volatile chemically active fire suppressants using aerosol technology
Fire Safety Journal, 2012Abstract Minimum extinguishing concentrations of mixtures of organophosphorus and iodine-containing compounds and inert diluents were measured using the cup-burner and cylinder techniques. The results of these measurements were used to develop and test new effective fire-suppression compositions whose components exhibit a synergetic effect and to ...
