Offshore Platforms

Perfect protection on every platform.

Sprinkler systems, gas-based suppression systems, fire prevention systems or fire detection and control technology alike, Minimax has access to a unique range of tested and certified components and systems from its own development and production facilities. Our promise: Minimax quality ranges from the simplest fire extinguisher to the most complex suppression system. Extensive development work carried out at our fire protection research center ensures our future advanced technologies approach.

Maximum safety on the high seas

Oxeo CF marine is a state-of-the-art gas-based fire suppression system suitable for virtually all types of ships. Thanks to different bottle sizes, various system configurations, and low pressure levels, it significantly simplifies planning and installation. The system can be operated with both IG-100 and IG-541 and fights even methanol fires effectively.

Maximum fire suppression performance combined with maximum system compatibility:

Efficient
Residue-free
System- and environmentally friendly

Protected areas

Cabins
Helicopter deck
Transformers
3 Transformers
Protection zone

Transformers make sure that electricity is ready for network distribution. They function as links between the turbine, the turbine generators and the network. They consist typically of the transformer housing with a cooler, oil conservators and oil-filled insulators.

Risks

Short circuits within the transformers

Overheating

Leaking oil

Fire Protection

As soon as overheating is detected, the transformer is automatically shut down to prevent a fire from breaking out. The basis for the fire protection is a Buchholz relay. This relay ensures prompt identification of cooling required for components at risk of overheating. The TrafoProtect solution developed by Minimax based on the latest research results, protection aims and testing schemes completes the concept. The special UL-approved nozzles, Viking Model A and Model C-1, achieve an even and consistent distribution of water when activated. In doing so, the system successfully meets the protection aims of "control" and "suppression". At the same time, the consumption of water can be reduced to a level significantly below that of conventional deluge systems. A fire detection system will trigger the extinguishing system.
