Automatic fire & explosion detection and suppression for special hazards
High performance F&ESS (fire & explosion suppression systems), automatic explosion/fire suppression means that have been developed and successfully implemented in the military sector, particularly for protecting the crews of military vehicles, have been further developed and adapted to protect various high-value high-risk industrial hazards. This refers to the stringent requirements of fire & explosion detection and suppression hazardous industries such as oil & gas, agriculture and fertilisers, pulp and papers, explosives and ammunition, mining, etc., to prevent and mitigate rapidly growing fires, fire ball and fuel or dust explosions. Fast optical detection (in less than 5 milliseconds) of the fireball at its initiation in the process vessel enables discharge of the extinguishing agent within several milliseconds and by special dispersion means (a special profile deflector) enables homogeneous discharge (total flood) in the protected vessel and provides suppression as well as inertisation of the hazardous area. The present paper discusses the various types of F&ESS developed for unique applications, including test results of various discharge patterns and development of different dispersion means.
