Tension Electronic Fence and Its Application In Petrochemical Industry

The petroleum and petrochemical industry is an important industry for people's living energy and national economic development. Once fire or explosion occurs in some areas of the industry, it will cause heavy casualties and serious losses of national property.

Therefore, the petrochemical industry has always been the focus of national security prevention, and it is also one of the earliest industries to have security systems. Its main purpose is to prevent illegal intrusion, crossing, mechanical damage, and monitor environment of the office and production area. 

The production area of chemical products is mostly high-risk and high-explosive places. This flammable, explosive and corrosive environment has high requirements for the safety equipment used.

At present, there are a variety of products for perimeter protection, ranging from electronic fences, vibration sensing optical cables, leakage cables, buried cables, microwave sensing, vibration optical fibers, and so on. But  the main applications in the energy industry are: pulse electronic fence, tension electronic fence, vibration optical fiber alarm system at present.

The difference between pulse type electronic fence and tension type electronic fence in application

Among them, the pulse electronic fence has the physical fence and wire power, in addition to forming a psychological deterrent to intruders, it can also play a real-time prevention and have linkage with alarm, delay the speed of criminals to enter etc. At present, it is more used in power plants in power industry, and other industries including communities, factories, schools and . 

For the petroleum and petrochemical industry, because  its related buildings have special needs for fire prevention and fire protection,and the pulse electronic fence wire is charged, peoples are afraid that metal friction sparks (human touch will not have sparks) brings security risks.

Therefore, it is generally recommended that petrochemical enterprises use tension electronic fences. The front-end equipment of the tension electronic fence is not charged, and the alarm is triggered by detecting the change of the tension value, the sensing of the obstacle, the transmission (alarm) tension and pressure, and the cutting of the obstacle information.

The stainless steel wire of tension electronic fence is not charged in the operation process, it will not have arc sparks, stainless steel wire does not emit electromagnetic waves when grounding , and not cause pollution to the surrounding environment, is a safe and reliable product. In addition, the false alarm rate of this type of product is very low, so now more and more projects tend to choose tension electronic fences. Especially for high-risk industries such as petroleum and petrochemical industry, there is good application value of this kind of product.
