Optima^® work within the guidelines of the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) thermal radiation standards.  The API 521 standard in part relates to the control of thermal radiation for offshore installations.

Optima^® Rigcooling^® protects the installation’s structure, allowing well test flaring operations to continue in accordance with API 521 international heat radiation standards and ensures that personnel can work within a safe, efficient and cost effective environment. Improvements in flaring technology have resulted in new challenges for standard rig deluge systems. These systems find it difficult to cope with the high temperatures experienced on rigs during flaring operations resulting in wet and potentially hazardous working conditions.
