Fire suppression and detection is the fastest growing product group in the Sperosens basket of products and systems. The company offers turnkey solutions through the design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and maintenance of such systems covered by full service level agreements.
The suppression group of products includes the dose system which is a non-electrical water induction system for larger fire zone area protection. This system will be offered if sufficient dedicated fire water and pressure exists and if the solution will meet the client’s requirement and budget. It is designed to comply with NFPA16 standards.
The CAFS (compressed air film system), a pre-mixed foam system, will be offered for smaller fire zone area protection and if there is insufficient dedicated fire water. The belt fire suppression system consists of a constant pressure agent cylinder vessel filled with an AFFF foam film/water mixture which is pressurised by nitrogen. The CAFS is also designed to comply with NFPA16 standards. The rest of the belt fire suppression system comprises a flame sensor, an IR temperature scanner, various bearing temperature sensors and a custom designed electronic control panel.
In-line inductor fire suppression systems have also been installed and commissioned to meet various clients’ environmental requirements and budget and Sperosens has also installed deluge water spray systems at various clients in the industry.
NOVEC1230 clean agent gas and condensed aerosol STAT-X installations have also been successfully completed in compliance with NAFS125 standards. These solutions are offered for in-cabinet protection, total flooding if the room integrity is taken into consideration, for computer, control and server rooms and substations. DCP (dry chemical powder) fire suppression systems compliant with NFPA17 standards have been installed at various workshops, fuel storages and xanthate storages.
New modular combo FSN controller and plumber block temperature sensors have also been included in the solution for fire suppression. The modular FSN zone controller complete with power supply and battery back-up is developed for fire protection systems and used to monitor fire detection sensors and subsequent suppression activation, one point of extinguishing release. The responses of the controller to various inputs can be configured using a PC based application.
Sperosens’ track record, 24/7 remote back-up support, SLA agreements and unique fire detection and suppression options are all well known in the industry.
