Petrochemical Industry Nontoxic Replacement for AFFF

A New Never Before Available Fire Protection For The Petrochemical Industry

Petrochemical Industry

Preface

FireStopper International Limited, a transnational Registered Company, is the developer of the most advanced, powerful and safe firefighting technology in the “World. It devoted the first 25- years of its existence to R&D and the recipient of subsequent stand alone testing results based on the ratings and certifications awarded by the most recognized and respected third-party testing and listing facilities in the world.

Moreover, this unique Technology has derived the only available all fire class/subclass effective, and anti-explosive products, which are non-toxic, non-irritant, environmentally safe, and non- hazardous over all other existing and available products in the fire and safety channel of business.

Having proven the former statement through the outstanding results of the products testing, rating, and certifications thus received, FireStopper®, in tandem with its novel firefighting and anti- explosion products (the “software”), developed the most durable and reliable supporting hardware and detection systems available today, which also meet and exceed the relative standards used to certify said product lines.

Moreover, the FireStopper® lines of products reach across the full spectrum of safety application including environmental remediation post spills both onshore and offshore.

In the International arena, the FireStopper® brand is the recipient of the highest certifications in all category of Governmental requirements to market such as defined below:

Executive Summary

A New Weapon Against All Flammable Events Inherent In The Petrochemical Industry

Never before has there been a greater demand for fire protection both against industry related events and the externally driven maleficence. The security needed to protect this valuable infrastructure is currently in the hands of proven inadequate old technology product (AFFF, FFFP, Dry Chemical Powders and dangerous Streaming Gases). Actual history shows that when these catastrophic events occur, the infrastructure is massively damaged or totally destroyed causing massive loss of revenue and the irreplaceable loss of time.

In today’s economic environment, Industry cannot afford business as usual with the usual products at hand.

Now with the advent of the FireStopper® FFC (Fire Fighting Catalyst) Technology, the assigned individual or personnel charged with protecting the infrastructure can safely, effectively and quickly extinguish the fire event and transforming the affected area to the ambient temperature environment, which will enable the repair crews to return the facility to a working and productive

enterprise reducing time loss to the minimum. The advantages FireStopper® deliver, not available before in any other currently employed products or technologies, are as follows:

  1. Effectiveness on all classes and sub classes of fire:
  1. FireStopper® XL “PLUS” FFC is the only concentrate in the world capable to deliver the highest fire extinguishment efficacy, according to its EN1568 Certification, equally in all three (3) industry recognizes percent usage (1%, 3%, & 6% inclusively).
    1. It is certified to perform equally on all three (3)-percentage uses while mixing with both fresh and salt water (only product to ever achieve certification level of 1A rating in all three-percentage and in mixture with fresh and salt water).
    1. The only concentrate to achieve “GREEN” rating under the HOCNF protocol, and:
  1. ENVIRONMENTAL & TOXICOLOGY TESTING

FFCs’ are independently tested and found to be non-hazardous to fish or any other life forms. The mixture is not an eye or skin irritant and is non-toxic when tested according to the FHSA protocols. It is judged to pose no chronic health hazard. Under European standards OECD 306, and 117 Method 2004, ISO 14669 (1999), ISO 5667-16 (1998), and ISO 10253 2006, (OSPAR/HOCNF)

Part B, the FFCs meet “Green” 1qualifying requirements. The FFCs need no special labeling or chronic health hazard warning statements and are in compliance with FHSA Regulations, 16 CFR 1500 and California Proposition 65.

  • Fast extinguishment
  • No re-ignition
  • Non-Irritant (skin or eyes), Non-Toxic, Non-Aggressive
  • Freeze resistant to -34.5
