Using 3D Mapping Studies to Design Flame and Gas Detection Systems

The next STS-AIChE First Friday Networking Lunch (FFNL) will be held on Friday, April 6th from 11:30AM – 1:00PM at the Wyndham Houston West Energy Corridor Park Restaurant and Grill. The restaurant is located on the east side of the hotel and there is designated parking available.  The lunch cost $11 all included (tax, tip, drinks and food) after the South Texas Section has subsidized this event by $5 per attendee. You pay for the lunch when you walk into the Park Restaurant at the Wyndham hotel.  Everyone is welcome to attend!

Dr. William Pittman, Fire and Gas Detection Consultant, Micropack Detection (Americas), will speak on how 3D models are being used to develop enhanced fire and gas detector layouts that are cost effective and proven to be compliant with design standards. The methodology presented is based on leading industry guidance on the evaluation of Fire & Gas system effectiveness. It begins by specifying risk-based performance targets for the system and assesses the system’s ability to detect target fires using the actual geometry of the space and field of view of the selected detector – where available.
