Angus Fire Releases New “Demystifying LNG” DVD

OXFORDSHIRE, U.K., January 15, 2007 – Angus Fire has released a new DVD entitled “Demystifying LNG” that features the latest developments in fire fighting foam technology for Liquefied Natural Gas. Angus Fire is part of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

The DVD takes an in-depth look at the unique hazard posed by LNG and the need for specialist fire protection equipment and techniques. It features dramatic footage of recent large-scale tests carried out by Angus Fire and BP at the new world-class LNG testing and training facility at Texas A&M University.

In a simulated LNG spillage, high expansion foam is shown controlling and dispersing flammable vapours safely away from potential sources of ignition. Also, in a series of huge fire tests, foam is shown reducing radiant heat emissions, the principal cause of damage from LNG fires.

The specialist Angus LNG Turbex generates high expansion foam despite prolonged exposure to the sub-zero temperatures of LNG vapour clouds and the searing heat of LNG fires. It uses Angus Expandol foam concentrate, which is widely used at LNG facilities around the world. The importance of selecting the correct foam expansion ratio and application rate is also emphasised on the DVD.

As the expansion of new LNG plants and upgrades continues world wide, the need for “Demystifying LNG” has never been greater. It is a “must see” for anyone involved in LNG fire safety. Request your free copy by contacting Angus Fire on general.enquiries@kiddeuk.co.uk or phone +44 (0) 1844 265000.
