Converter platforms are a key component of offshore plants and play a central role in harnessing wind energy for electricity generation at sea. They thus make an important contribution to sustainable energy supply.
Since these facilities are usually unmanned, rapid intervention in the event of a fire – for example, by emergency services – is not possible. This makes it all the more important that safety-related systems are reliable, automated, and remotely operated. Our holistic fire protection solutions are specifically designed to meet these requirements: they ensure the operational readiness of your offshore plants, minimize the risk of fire-related failures, and help to prevent economic damage.
RISK ANALYSIS
The greatest sources of fire hazard in offshore plants, particularly converter platforms, arise from the interaction of technical, operational, and environmental factors. These mainly include electrical faults such as short circuits, arcing, or overloads, as well as mechanical overheating. Lightning strikes, flammable substances such as hydraulic or lubricating oils, and human misconduct can also cause fires.
