ENERGY Fire cover Boxes

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a flammable cryogenic liquid, which can lead to jet fires. To improve safety on LNG vessels, insulation for valves and flanges is essential to protect against jet fires and cryogenic spills. ENERGY Cryocover ™, a tested and certified solution, provides protection against these hazards while maintaining integrity over a range of temperatures. ENERGY Fireboard® is a flexible epoxy-based precast fire protection board used in ENERGY Firecover® and ENERGY Fireshield® to insulate vessels, pipes, and equipment. This intumescent product expands significantly at high temperatures. KAEFER focuses on innovation in passive fire protection, prioritising the safety of facilities and people.
