These units were built to house a very large ethanol closed
loop extractor.
In the
cannabis extraction part of the industry, fire marshals are
mandating that these units need to be operated in a space
that has a 1-hour fire rated wall. Whether that is a
stand-alone room or a shipping container.
Most
clients would have the containers moved into a warehouse
type setting. This would force them to comply with this
1-hour rating for walls and doors. Inside the container,
everything would have a C1D1 rating. Meaning all
components would need to be explosion proof. (lighting, LEL
meters, outlets, exit signs etc.)
These
units would also have very large explosion proof blower
attached to them to provide constant airflow throughout the
space. If the LEL had a high reading over 20% the unit would
sound a horn and strobe and then a VFD drive would kick the
blowers up to full capacity. (10,000CFM).
So the
ratings that were being met for fire would be a 1-hour burn
rate on the walls, ceiling, and doors. This is not a flame
spread rating, but a true 1-hour burn. In order to achieve
this, we needed to use a mineral wool type of panel.
This unit is very similar to what they might use in the oil
and gas industry. They have been used to house combustible
or explosive materials.
