Orbinox’s PNEUTON™ engineering team was approached to design a bespoke self-contained nitrogen control panel for a tank farm fire protection system. The tank farm was remotely located from the refinery and lacked any utilities for valve automation. The high integrity panels provided a means of motive power, with redundancy, and included remote system pressure indication. The panel was designed such that it could be re-charged with nitrogen, with the additional advantage that the N2 bottles could be replaced, if necessary, via the tilting weather-hood. The double flanged resilient seated butterfly valves were automated with BETTIS™ CBB series single acting pneumatic actuators.
