ProFlex

ProFlex protects the main devices that control a plant with a flexible jacket fully designed and manufactured in Italy. The goal is reducing drastically the risks arising from fire and blow-up.

The safety of ProFlex comes from its structure: this product is indeed composed by pre-shaped pads with layers of mineral fibers wrapped into special technical fabrics finished with protective materials to ensure thermal insulation to high temperature of hydrocarbon flames as well as weather, chemicals and UV rays resistance. Heat-resistant straps, belts and stainless-steel washers, clasps and springs are used to make the structure airtight and prevent inflow of combustion products in case of fire.

The realization of the ProFlex requires a detailed design and engineering phase.

To guarantee high efficiency and excellent product quality our engineers elaborate the parameters provided by the customer:

•         Type of fire
•         Fire resistance time
•         Geometry and mass of the component to protected
•         Exposed area
•         Site condition

Prometheus engineers manage all data and carefully design each part of the product with advanced software realizing a device with high engineering content corresponds to customer requirements.

Our first class product is made of pre-shaped pads with layers of mineral fibers wrapped into special technical fabrics finished with protective skin to ensure thermal insulation to high temperature of hydrocarbon flames as well as weather, chemicals and UV rays resistance.

Heat-resistant straps, belts and stainless steel washers, clasps and springs are used to make the structure airtight and prevent inflow of combustion products in case of fire.

Being custom-shaped to the protected device, ProFlex is suitable for limited space and weight applications where fire protection systems are required to tightly match the equipment size and dimensions.

ProFlex fire protection systems can be entirely designed on specific customer requirements and modeled based on plant drawings (or after a site inspection, when needed).

Exit penetrations for position indicators, plug for electrical cables and pipes, adjustment levers for manually operated pumps, declutch devices, stems and hand-wheels. All those additional features can be supplied as recommended by API 2218 standards. Surface color can also be customized according to plant identification, policies and other accessories (i.e. heatproof grids to assist internal ventilation available upon request).
