Protecting storage tanks, bunded areas and process equipment. 

Innovative safety solutions for safeguarding vital infrastructure. 

Ensuring safety at Nora Crude Oil Storage Tanks. 

Embracing technology. Transforming tomorrow. 

The challenge. 

The Nora Crude Oil Storage Facility in Ireland houses large volumes of crude oil, essential for the country’s energy security.  

Its storage tanks, bunded areas and associated process equipment are exposed to significant fire risks due to the highly flammable stored material.  

Nora needed a reliable flame detection solution. One that could provide thorough coverage across the site. One that would ensure the early detection of fire. And protect the facility, avoiding catastrophic damage. 

The Micropack process. 

• Assessment and review. Identifying where to strategically place the detectors. 

• A systematic and expert approach. Developing a solution tailored to the facility. 

• Seamless integration with existing safety and monitoring systems. Providing real-time fire detection and alarm capabilities throughout. 

The Micropack solution. 

A state-of-the-art flame detection system. 

Installing FDS300 Intelligent Visual Flame Detectors  
Advanced technology proven ability to detect flames rapidly and accurately in outdoor and industrial environments. Advanced flame recognition algorithms. That accurately detect fire. And ignore false triggers, such as sunlight reflections.  

Strategic placement. 
Full coverage of the storage tanks, bunded areas, and process equipment.  

Comprehensive protection with early warning of fire incidents.
Allows for immediate response. Minimises risk of large-scale fires that could endanger the facility and its surrounds. 

The highly successful results. 

• Enhanced safety. Significantly improved fire detection capabilities. Rapid and reliable fire detection. 

• Reduced risk of extensive damage. All critical areas of the facility are protected. Reduced risk of fire spreading. 

• Positive feedback. Nora has expressed high levels of satisfaction, highlighting the reliability and effectiveness of the FDS300 detectors in safeguarding their critical infrastructure.
