Summary
Guidance for offshore installation duty holders examines turbine enclosure fires and potential explosions, highlighting poorly detected diesel and lubricating-oil leaks. It discusses oil-mist detection in exhaust ducts, enclosure fire resistance, rapid fuel and oil isolation, valve performance checks and water-mist suppression, alongside maintenance and housekeeping measures.
