Project Summary
At PETROTRADE Oil Tank Facility in Agroud, Suez, we delivered a complete firefighting and suppression solution tailored for high-risk fuel storage environments. The project included the installation of three foam bladder tanks, each rated at 300 GPM, designed to supply continuous foam-based protection to critical tank farm zones. To distribute the foam efficiently across exposed surfaces, we installed five foam monitors and six foam chambers, providing both manual and automatic discharge capabilities.

To secure high-hazard areas, a total of 34 deluge valves were deployed across process and containment zones, enabling rapid area-wide flooding during emergency activation. The firefighting network was constructed using 1,000 meters of galvanized carbon steel piping, feeding 350 sprinklers and spray nozzles installed strategically around tanks and auxiliary structures.
For sensitive electrical and control environments, we commissioned a FM200 suppression system serving transformer and generator rooms, ensuring immediate fire extinguishing without damaging equipment or disrupting operations. Detection and control were centralized through a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) operating on four loops with GUI and server integration, allowing full visibility and remote management of the protection system.
The detection layer included 12 triple IR flame detectors for rapid ignition recognition and 34 manual release stations for operator intervention. All systems were interconnected using 6,000 meters of 2×2.5 mm fire-resistant cabling, ensuring maximum reliability even under extreme temperature exposure.
This project provided PETROTRADE with a fully integrated fire defense system, combining foam, water, clean agent suppression, and intelligent detection into one unified safety platform.
