We designed from the ground up a completely bespoke solution for the end user. This consisted of two separate systems, integrated into a central fire control system which can be managed throughout site. This consisted of two, hydraulically suitable pump sets, utilising a supply and demand arrangement for each system. One system covered the main plant areas and machinery, whilst the other system covered the smaller transfer conveyors. Custom control panels were designed to support and work as swiftly as possible alongside the rapid flame detection system being utilised across the facility.

Each system was also fitted with manual override options to allow operators a chance of early activation and individual sectional solenoid valves in order to allow for precise reporting data to be fed back to the site monitoring station so that early warning can be provided to the other parts of the plant. This also worked with an early shutdown procedure, which integrated the suppression and detection systems to the emergency plant shutdown system. This stopped the conveyors and allowed for a greatly reduced risk spread to be implemented.

The system utilised 25,000 ltr water storage tanks to provide full coverage on each system. A series of carefully calibrated nozzles were placed along the edge of the conveyor, or directly above the conveyor path where required, to provide optimum coverage levels for the risk at hand.

The system is serviced annually in line with the appropriate standards and wet-tested to ensure full system integrity.
