EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN System and FIRE & GAS SYSTEMS

An ESD or Emergency Shutdown System, is a PLC-based control system, used to manage the
start-up sequences, and system shutdown. The input output signals automatically generated by
the ESD can be offered on the control network to be used by controller architecture DCS or
BMS. When the signals in question must not do DCS logic but simply supervision for the
operator, are acquired as SCADA, that is, as serial signals.

Fire detection
Detectors used are chosen throught a methodical and accurate design. Ultraviolet,
ultravioled/infrared and triple infrared Flame Detectors. Optical (Tyndal effect), twin ionization
chamber, laser, infrared beam Smoke Detectors. Temperature detection by termosensitive
cable, continuous thermocouple and thermovelocimetrical heat detector. Catalytic,
electrochemical, infrared, infrared open path, explosive and toxic gas detectors.
