Cold Fire is being used extensively in the oil fields of Mexico
and other countries, because it has proven to be the most effective
in putting out dangerous hydrocarbon fires. It is also gaining attention
in the United Stated because of its ability to to extinguish polar
solvent fires - ethanol, methanol and acetone, for example.
Since Cold Fire encapsulates the fuel sources at the molecular
level, it not only snuffs the fire out quickly, with less product,
but it also prevents reignition.
The old policy of 'let burn' can be a thing of the past, because
Cold Fire will put out oil well fire extremely quickly. Getting
the fire out quickly means that you may be able to save valuable
equipment, and get your well back in production sooner.
It can also be used to help clean up any spilled hydrocarbons -
once encapsulated, the hydrocarbons degrade into simple cell protein
and carbon dioxide. For tougher spills, you might consider our other
product, CarbonSeal.
Cold
fire has the unique ability to intantly cool down hot surfaces.
You will notice in the videos that when a fire is extinguished using
Cold Fire, people are able to immediately put their hands on what
was extremely hot metal just seconds before. That means that you
are able to investigate the fire faster and start cleanup procedures
sooner.
On certain tank battery fires, you don't even need to turn on a
hose. You can pump water and Cold Fire directly into the tank using
the flow line - the agitation in the line creates foam which rises
to the top and extinguishes the fire.
On drilling rigs, where multiple fire extinguishers are required.
Cold Fire can be mixed with anti-freezing agents, protecting the
canisters from temperatures as low as -35°. Canisters can also
be refilled on site - just pour in two gallons of water, a quart
of Cold Fire, and use an air compressor to charge it to 100 psi.
Take a few minutes to look over the numerous videos posted from
oil company demonstrations, and you will be convinced that Cold
Fire will an indispensable part of your oil company's safety plan.
