High Pressure Breathing Air Loop System (HPLS)
Respiratory Protection for Plant Turnarounds & Shutdowns
Total Safety invented our exclusive, patented High Pressure Breathing Air Loop System (HPLS) to provide respiratory protection to your staff during critical path turnaround projects requiring high quantities of Grade "D" breathing air. With our HPLS and our safety expertise, Total Safety helps you create the ideal respiratory environment for efficient, effective operations.
Safer Turnaround and Shutdown Projects
Total Safety’s HPLS increases overall safety, health and compliance during critical turnaround tasks that require high-volume usage of Grade "D" breathing air, including:
- Permit-required confined space entry
- Asbestos or insulation removal
- High-pressure hydro-blasting/cleaning
- Welding with exotic metals
- Working in inert atmospheres
With Total Safety’s exclusive HPLS, project safety is increased by:
- Proper rigging, staging and usage of breathing air equipment and components
- Use of safety overseers
- On-site orientation
- Isolation (lockout/tagout systems)
- Proper certification and delivery of Grade "D" breathing air
- Use of equipment and professional oversight
Improves Turnaround Efficiency and Reduces Costs
Traditional breathing systems, which utilize cylinders, are appropriate for some functions, but can lower productivity and increase costs because of the excessive need for manpower to perform bottlewatch functions.
Our innovative, exclusive HPLS makes your critical path turnaround projects safer, more efficient and less costly. Bottlewatch duties alone, reduced to a single tube trailer, save thousands of man hours in a typical turnaround/outage. Total Safety’s tube trailer operates outside the unit minimizing safety hazards, congestion and associated wasted man hours.
