Lavastica International has supplied an Autronica AutroSafe fire and gas detection system to the Blackford Dolphin Oil Rig. The rig is owned by Fred Olsen Energy, which provides exploration and production services to the offshore oil and gas industry. The AutroSafe integrated fire and gas detection system is an addressable system where all system units communicate on a local network called AUTROLON. The SelfVerify function makes the system capable of daily inspections and verifying its own performance, alarm and warning levels, interfaces and connecting cables, from detectors' sensing element to the alarm output. All incidents are clearly pinpointed by means of the operating panel's large indicating display with 16 lines of 20 characters.
