The Water Curtain® is the original mobile system designed to provide a protective "curtain," or barrier of water between high risk flaring systems and valuable personnel, equipment and facilities. The Water Curtain® has been in continuous worldwide use for over 23 years. During this time, over 500 drilling rigs and platforms have been protected, with flow rates in excess of 125mmsc/f of gas and 16,000 BOPD. A testament to the effectiveness of our system is the fact that absolutely no damage or injury has occurred to personnel or equipment during this time. References and referrals are readily available from customers such as:  Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil, Husky, LLOG, Schlumberger, Halliburton, W&T, and the list goes on and on.   

Don't be fooled by imitators. Over the years, several companies have tried to copy the Water Curtain®, and most have failed miserably, resulting in costly damage or injury to personnel, facilities and equipment. The Water Curtain® is a registered trademark of Burner Fire Control. When you contract Burner Fire Control to provide these services, you are getting over 100 years of combined experience in rig cooling technology. Our supervisors all have hundreds of successful jobs under their belt. These services have been provided to every major offshore energy company, as well as most major well testing operators.

Every project begins with a site survey. This survey will determine whether or not the rig has the capability to provide the volume and pressure of water required to provide primary and back-up protection. In many cases, additional pumps are required to meet these demands. Burner Fire Control maintains a fleet of mission ready submersible and diesel driven pumps modified to meet the unique requirements of our system. Our systems are designed and built to minimize the "equipment footprint" on space-limited drilling rigs.

***Burner Fire Control now offers a new addition to the package called a "Boom Nozzle." This equipment attaches either permanently or temporarily to your flare boom. This system focuses over 1,000 gallons per minute of perfectly atomized, high pressure water flow directly behind the flare, creating an impenetrable "water curtain®" between the rig and flare. It can be used as an addition to the complete package, or in some cases, as the entire water curtain package. This is obviously dependent upon the flow rates and environmental conditions. With this system used as the primary rig cooling system, it truly minimizes any additional equipment footprint on your valuable deck space. ***

Included with every Water Curtain® package is a supplemental fire protection package. In most cases, the fire fighting equipment onboard drilling rigs is not sufficient to provide the added protection required during well testing operations. The additional personnel and equipment, combined with the flaring operations, simply can not be adequately protected with standard equipment. For this reason, we provide large scale Dry Chemical, AFFF Foam, and even Twin Agent systems to supplement the rig's fire equipment. Add to this the fact that all Water Curtain® crews are trained and certified offshore fire fighters, and you truly have a complete rig protection package.
