A Fire and Gas (F&G) System is designed to protect the plant people and facilities from hazardous conditions such as Flame, Smoke, Toxic Gas, Combustible gas, etc., that is a part of the safety and control systems covering the overall plant control and monitoring requirements. A F&G System can detect hazardous events, initiate timely actions, and alert people in order to minimise the consequences of a critical event. A Fire and Gas detection system is continuously monitoring all areas for abnormal conditions.
Reference Definition by Honeywellprocess.com: Fire and gas (F&G) detection and mitigation systems are key to maintaining the overall safety and operation of industrial facilities. F&G systems include offshore petroleum exploration and production, onshore oil and gas facilities, refineries and chemical plants, marine operations, tank farms and terminals, pipelines, power plants, mining and paper mills. A F&G safety system continuously monitors for abnormal situations such as a fire, or combustible or toxic gas release within the plant; and provides early warning and mitigation actions to prevent escalation of the incident and protect the process or environment.
