Tricel - Fire Protection Misting Tanks
Tricel Killarney provide storage solutions for misting tanks. Misting systems are a fixed fire protection system which uses water droplets to control, suppress and extinguish fires.
A misting system uses nozzles which are fitted to a water piping system connected to the water storage tank. Once activated, the water is pumped from the misting water storage tank to the automatic nozzles. The nozzles automatically discharge fine water droplets or water mist, which fills the protected zone removing two of the three elements for a fire to spread. Elements removed include, oxygen & heat. This type of fire protection would generally be installed with smoke alarms or fire detection systems.
Fire protection misting tanks are extremely effective and significantly reduce asset damage and operational downtime in all business-critical applications.The larger the surface area, the more effective the system becomes in quickly reducing temperature and oxygen at the flame front.
The main objective for installing a water mist system:
Fire Extinguishment. A sharp reduction in heat release rate leading to complete elimination of any flaming or smouldering fire orFire suppression/control. A steady reduction in the heat release rate resulting in a lower controlled level of burning/limitation of fire growth and protection of structure (by cooling of the objects, fire gases and/or by pre-wetting adjacent combustibles).
