H2 Site Safety Systems
Abstract
This project will examine the suitability of existing Fire and Gas (F&G) detection and suppression systems for use with hydrogen blends of up to 20%. These systems comprise: fire detection, fire suppression, gas detection, and associated control systems. They are found in compressor cabs and at network terminals.
Through CFD modelling three representative F&G systems will be individually assessed for compatibility with blends, and will then be used as examples to make comments on the suitability of other F&G systems on the network. Where assets or control systems are not suitable, this project will not design a new system, but recommend where changes should be made and demonstrate how those changes safely manage risk – including cost estimation for upgrade or retrofit.
