Passive Fire Protection (PFP) Analysis is a detailed fire risk analysis for critical process equipment or structural member with the purpose of determining the PFP requirement for the critical equipment or structural member.

Our approach to PFP analysis is broadly based on the process described within the API Publication 2218.  This approach includes the following steps:

• Hazard evaluation, including the quantification of hazardous inventories
• Development of fire scenarios radiation envelopes.
• Determination of passive fire proofing requirement based on consideration of the probability of an incident impacting that item of equipment / structural member, the time to failure, and the potential impact of damage that may result in terms of escalation and risk to life.
