Gas-free Inspection

FOR PRESSURE VESSELS

Working within the oil, gas and chemicals sector, one is often exposed to highly dangerous working environments. For those who have to conduct regular maintenance work or construction within shore tanks, lines, barges or vessels, safety takes on an even higher standard.

Before performing hot or cold work, or allowing fire exposure, a gas free inspection certificate must be obtained to ensure that the working environment is safe and secure.

Maintenance and repair work can fall into several categories:

• Cold Work
• Hot Work
• Fire Exposure

1) COLD WORK

Includes any repairs or alterations that do not involve heat, fire or spark producing operations;

2) HOT WORK

Includes any repairs or alterations that involve drilling, riveting, welding, burning or other heat, fire or spark producing operations

3) FIRE EXPOSURE

Includes fire, sparks, open light or using surfaces with a temperature that is equal to or higher than the minimum ignition temperature of the possible remaining liquids or gases in the cargo tank or enclosed environment.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Before a fire or explosion can occur, three conditions must be met simultaneously. A fuel (i.e. combustible gas) and oxygen (air) must exist in certain proportions, along with an ignition source, such as a spark or flame. The ratio of fuel and oxygen that is required varies with each combustible gas or vapor.

The minimum concentration of a combustible gas or Vapor is necessary to support its combustion in air is defined as the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) for that gas. Below this level, the mixture is unlikely to burn.

BRIMBERG INSPECTION LIMITED being the experts in oil and gas logistics, understands the risks involved in operating and performing maintenance in hazardous environments where combustible materials may be present.

We are constantly looking beyond customers’ and society’s expectations in order to deliver market leading services wherever they are needed. We provide innovative services and solutions for every part of the oil, gas and chemicals industry.

Our Gas free Inspection certificates indicate:

• The last cargo contained in the area (and sometimes the last three cargoes if available);

• The method used for performing the inspection

• The location of the working area.

After a careful examination of the tested areas and a review of the maintenance work to be performed, our specialists will issue a judgement on the safety of the enclosed space:

• Safe/Not safe for entry or fire
