Protecting offshore personnel and assets during high‑temperature operations

James Fisher delivers trusted, innovative solutions that make offshore well test operations safe, reliable, and repeatable. Our rig cooling and heat suppression systems provide critical protection during flaring, high‑temperature work and well testing operations, ensuring personnel safety and reducing risk in challenging offshore environments.

Designed for rapid deployment and reliable performance, we can support you with temporary rental or permanent installation options on offshore platforms and drilling rigs.

Why James Fisher?

Rig cooling and heat protection systems

James Fisher’s full rig cooling systems use high‑volume submersible pumps, booster pumps and specialised cooling nozzles to create effective heat‑reduction barriers around critical equipment. These systems protect personnel and assets from thermal radiation associated with flaring during well testing.

The Aquashield flare boom cooling system forms a wide parabolic water droplet screen close to burner heads, reducing heat exposure by up to 70%. Complementing this, the Aquashield rig‑side cooling system provides a secondary barrier that ensures safe working conditions across the platform.

We also supply heat‑reflective covers for additional protection of your lifeboats, communication equipment and critical assets. James Fisher’s engineering services include rig deluge appraisal, pump selection and system optimisation, helping operators maintain compliance and operational readiness in high‑risk conditions.
