Solid fuel flues generally last for 15 years +. Oil or gas flues are prone to build ups of acid inside the flue and therefore have a shorter life expectancy.


What ia a fpso i know it is rig .i would like to know the full name of fpso?

FPSO is an acronym for Floating Production, Storage, Offtake (or Offload). An FPSO is typically a big ship used in the oil industry in deepwater producing oil fields. The wells are at the seabed and flow back to the FPSO. The ship is moored in place and contains the production equipment used to process the oil. Once processed, the oil is stored in the hull of the FPSO. Once there is enough oil in stored in the FPSO, a tanker will pull near the FPSO and the oil will be pumped from the FPSO to the tanker.

How did the oil rig explode?

The Deepwater Horizon rig caught fire due to the uncontrollable flow of hydrocarbons (blow out) to the rig floor. There were a number of explosions on the rig, with the first explosions coming from the engine room, as the engines went out of control (reved at a high speed). Later explosions were most likely the result of large supplies of fuel onboard the rig. The rig ultimately sank as a result of the fire and explosions. The causes continue to be investigated. However, one critical factor for the blow out is likely to be the foamed cement used to cement in the final casing. Laboratory analysis has shown the cement formulation was unstable in some of the tests. Another factor is the failure of blow out preventers to close. See related link.
