TECNOSHELL®
The Evolution of Modular Passive Fire Protection
In high-risk environments such as refineries and petrochemical plants, time is the ultimate factor.Tecnofire Solutions introduces TECNOSHELL®, a next-generation modular Passive Fire Protection (PFP) system designed to safeguard the operational integrity of critical assets under the most extreme conditions.
Advanced Intumescent Technology
The core of TECNOSHELL® features high-performance intumescent epoxy coating technology.In the event of a fire, the material reacts to form a robust carbonaceous insulating layer, protecting the underlying device and preserving its functionality.
Hydrocarbon Protection
Certified to withstand Hydrocarbon Pool Fire scenarios according to the most rigorous international standards.
UL 1709 Rating
Tested to maintain safe internal temperatures for over 30 minutes, ensuring control systems remain functional throughout the emergency.
Rapid, Non-Disruptive Installation
Unlike traditional fireproofing methods, TECNOSHELL® redefines field efficiency.Its modular architecture allows for “live” assembly, eliminating the need for costly plant shutdowns.
Zero Downtime
Installation is performed without disconnecting the actuator from power lines or removing it from the valve.
Effortless Assembly
The system requires only two operators and no specialized lifting equipment or tools.
Smart Design
Lightweight, manageable components engineered to conform precisely to the device’s geometry.
Uncompromised Functionality
TECNOSHELL® is designed not only to protect but to streamline daily maintenance and plant operations.
Full Visibility
Actuator displays remain clear and readable through a certified fire-safe glass viewing window
Operational Accessibility
All control buttons and selectors remain fully operable even with the protection installed.
Maintenance Simplified
The system is completely removable and reusable. In the event of an impact, individual damaged modules can be replaced independently, reducing total cost of ownership.
APPROVAL CERTIFICATE M63087/25/AS/as dated 02/07/2025 IT FILE 25.SF.10934012.139
Global Safety
& Certification
The quality of TECNOSHELL® is validated by independent third-party entities, ensuring compliance with the highest safety mandates of the global Oil & Gas industry.
Bureau Veritas Type Approval Certificate.
Regulatory Compliance
UL 1709 (Rapid Rise Fire Test), API RP 2218,
and UL 2431.
ATEX Compatible
The design is engineered to ensure it does not interfere with the ATEX certification of the protected equipment.
Why Choose TECNOSHELL®?
Utilizing advanced 3D scanning, we create custom-fit shells for any component, even when original technical drawings are unavailable.
Highly resistant to weathering, UV exposure, and corrosion in harsh saline or offshore environments.
Significantly reduces installation and maintenance overhead compared to traditional rigid boxes, flexible jackets, directly bonded or cast-in-place systems.
