Sabre Safety’s Breathing Air Cascade systems are designed and built by us to the highest possible standards. Their performance parameters exceed all required regulations and manufacturers’ recommendations both in the duration available and flow-rate. This ensures the highest level of protection available to the workforce in an H2S or other toxic gas environment.
A typical cascade system would be based around the following equipment set: Containerised Breathing Air Cascade System, with high pressure air compressor for charging the air bank and SCBA cylinders, 15 x 50Litre cylinder high pressure air storage bank, high performance reducer assembly and control panel feeding multiple point outlet manifold. This equipment set can provide over 60 man hours of air without re-charging an essential factor since if there are toxic and/or flammable gasses in the atmosphere the compressor can not be used.
The supporting air distribution system consists of a series of supply lines which deliver air to the essential areas on the drill-site or offshore installation. Outlet manifolds and retractor reels provide plug-in points for the crew to connect instantly to the cascade system in the event of a release of toxic gas and receive a safe supply of breathing air.
