POWER FACILITIES FIRE SUPPRESSION

Fires in power generation and management facilities, can have costly or even fatal consequences. In about one-third of the cases in which fire suppression systems fail, the cause is inadequate inspection, testing and maintenance. Operators require autonomous, reliable and robust fire suppression systems they can rely on.

Power generation and distribution machinery, such as turbines, generators, transformers and cable tunnels, need to operate continuously. Yet, a fire in one critical asset can cause collateral damage to other equipment that can result in power failures on the grid. Fires are usually caused by design defects, poor maintenance, voltage surges, overheating, arcs caused by a switch, leaking current, lightning, cable insulation deterioration and of course, not discounting sabotage.

Many fires can be prevented and damage minimized by improving the reliability and effectiveness of the fire suppression equipment. FirePro systems can detect and extinguish a fire at its source which is critically important in reducing the risk of injury to personnel and damage to critical assets. FirePro can be installed inside equipment and machinery where a fire will be detected and extinguished in the early stages – preventing its spread to other equipment.

Fire Pro has been installed in a number of “green energy projects” which pose a different style of fire risks due to the different style of technology and materials used.

FirePro is ideal for protection of Power Facilities
