Fire solutions from Sperosens

February 2016 Fire & Safety, Products & Solutions

Fire can result in catastrophic consequences that can negatively impact on any company’s operation. Early detection systems play a pivotal role in the elimination or reduction of fire break-out that might be costly to any organisation.

There are multiple detection systems in the market; however there is no one size fits all solution. Before choosing a suitable solution/s from multiple systems available, it is imperative that a total risk analysis is carried out to determine potential high risk.

After detecting the fire, it is important to use the correct method of suppression as per the risk assessment, in adherence to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 15 or 16) set standards.

Sperosens solutions

• Fixed fire detection and suppression systems using various technologies such as water and foam mist, condensed aerosol flooding suppression and clean gas agents.

• Portable fire extinguishers using condensed aerosol, water and foam mist.

• The Servalog service logging system allows customers to capture extinguisher checks and services in an electronic database for extensive planning and reporting information.

• Fire system readiness and reporting is achieved by the Sperosens i-CAN-C System.

• AP Sensing Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) using fibre optic cable. Up to 10 km of fibre optic cable can be used to sense heat on each 1m section to 1°C accuracy.

• EnvisoSmart is an intrinsically save environmental monitoring telemetry system detecting up to four types of gas and airflow mainly applicable for use by underground coal mines.
