THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY(1)
• Today, we live in a real world that implements (simulated) results, a simulated world in actual beginnings, depend on circumstances.
• Environmental conditions are carried out with data recorded to assure the situation.
• Are these worlds, that have been created, actually real or simulated?• Have humans invention harmed the environment.• Some would said that their inventions are working in harmony with nature
while some will say that their inventions has been damaged by the environment that they lived in.
• That the power of nature against human inventions (e.g. tsunami, hurricane, heavy snowfall, flood, etc.)

THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY(2)
• At present, engineering based on human invention is based on a simulated world where it all begins. Models are scrutinized at various organization, and some are applied in the petrochemical or oil and gas facilities.
• Inventors of internal combustion engines linked back to 2nd century in Switzerland where a crank shaft or connection rod was documented. Later used and developed up to present stage as a reciprocating device.
• Henry Ford the founder of Ford Motor Company sponsor the development of assembly line technique of mass production.
• Today, we see internal combustion engines massively in used with variety of lean gas mixture designs.

A WORLD THAT SOME LIVE IN
• In a place far beyond, lives another system that seems to be in a conducive nature. The atmosphere is soothing to a person BUT MIGHT NOT if there is a catastrophe.
• It is a situation that is beyond our imagination, Piper Alpha Disaster (1988) at North Sea.
• In a fire situation, or a gas leak scenario, is it real? Or is it simulated?

TYPES OF FIRE AND GAS DETECTION SYSTEM ON OFFSHORE PLATFORM(1)
• What are implemented:• 1) In some application, the complete Fire and Gas Detection SYSTEM are
required at a huge cost for implementation for the safety and wellbeing of a defined population, e.g. including Motor Control Centre MCC/Switchgear Room, FM-200, Battery Room, and Control Room.
• 2) Some requires only a SUB-SYSTEM, for smaller group, where it will be safe for all in the vicinity (entry from process into utility areas/control building and addressable system to protect the personal in living quarters).

TYPES OF FIRE AND GAS DETECTION SYSTEM ON OFFSHORE PLATFORM(2)
• 3) Or probably requires only a fire watch (in quarters) and a portable detector that accompanies the person to detect a gas leakage in its define walk (utility) on occasional visits to the platform.
• 4) Other method of studies : To apply noise detectors or microphone, due to small leakages. This is use measure the amplitude of the noise as the frequencies are visible on the spectrum.

FLAMMABILITY TRIANGLE
• WHAT IS FIRE AND GAS DETECTION ?• It is the method of detecting the presence of flammable/toxic gases
and/or fire in identified areas of risk• WHY IS IT IMPORTANT ?• To protect and safeguard• Personnel, equipment and the environment• POSSIBLE CAUSES OF GAS LEAKS AND FIRES ?• Gas leak from pump seals, flanges, etc.
– Wear and Tear,– Vibration, etc.
• High pressured flammable gas will shoot out from pressurized pipeline or equipment from point of leakage
• Possibility of an explosion or a fire (see flammability triangle)
