Water fire suppression systems

Intelligent extinguishing solutions


A perfect fire protection solution requires technology and expertise. Fire Tec intelligent extinguishing solutions, offer you the latest technologies based on long-term know-how and experience in fire detection and extinguishing from a global partner. The solutions are tailored to your individual needs to maximize business continuity. Fires are detected early and extinguished quickly and reliably. Fire Tec high-quality solutions protect people, environment, processes, and assets.

Fire Tec introduced, pioneered and developed the world’s first medium and high velocity waterspray systems and water fire suppression systems that were designed to extinguish oil fires and fires involving flammable liquids and gases by the use of water only. Today they are installed in every corner of the world to protect a wide range of plant and equipment for the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, marine and power & transmission market sectors.

 

Deluge fire systems Water spray deluge systems are typically used in hazardous environments where fires may spread very quickly or where valuable equipment surrounding the fire needs to be cooled. These systems are designed for use in a variety of special hazard applications. Many types of nozzles may be required to provide a properly designed special hazard fire protection system.

Water spray deluge systems have been an effective defence against fire. Fire Tec’s advanced technology takes this simple idea to a new level. At the heart of our systems are specialised spray nozzles, positioned at the correct location, to quickly bring fire under control and stop it spreading.Fire Tec can custom design and install a new fire system for most facilities or we can refurbish and upgrade your existing system. We have significant expertise in installing large scale fire systems in complex environments with minimal interruption in industries which cannot afford to halt production.

 

Water spray fire systems Designing a modern spray system requires skill, experience and an eye for detail – it is much more than connecting a few nozzles. A number of variables need to be considered: the location of piping, the distance of the sprayer from its objective, the available water pressure, the effects of wind/draft, ambient temperature, concentration of chemicals, gas/chemical velocity and the corrosiveness of the environment.

Water spray deluge systems must only be designed by experienced professionals who thoroughly understand the capabilities as well as the limitations of the equipment. Water spray nozzles are designed to spray water directly onto the hazard surface via a series of nozzles with a carefully predetermined spray pattern. They are suitable for a variety of special hazards including transformer, turbines and combustible liquid hazards and systems can be individually tailored to your needs.

 

Water mist fire systems

Water Mist is a versatile and highly efficient fire-fighting medium. What differentiates Water Mist from traditional water based systems is its reduced droplet size. When a droplet of water vaporises, it expands by some 1,600 times. Because heat absorption is a function of surface area and not volume, smaller droplets mean more surface area and therefore faster heat absorption.

Water Mist has the unique ability to deliver water as a fine atomised mist. This mist is quickly converted to steam that smothers the fire and prevents further oxygen from reaching it. At the same time, the evaporation creates a significant cooling effect of combustion gases and blocks the transfer of radiant heat. In this way, Water Mist combines the fire suppression properties of both conventional water-based deluge or sprinkler systems and gaseous fire suppression systems.


Sprinkler fire systems

Automatic fire sprinkler systems (also known as a wet pipe systems are widely regarded as the most effective method of controlling fires caused by a broad range of hazards. With a century of proven experience, Fire Tec offers end-to-end sprinkler systems to protect your people, business and assets.

Sprinkler systems can automatically detect a fire, transmit an alarm and control the fire. This can be the difference between a minor accident and a major business shutdown. Led by professional project managers, Fire Tec’s engineers design, install and commission reliable, cost-effective sprinkler systems by carefully analysing your buildings and facilities in terms of occupancy, operation and fire risk.
