Ensure your customers stable power supply – Prevent fires and production interruptions with Nextech fire protection
Electricity is one of the crucial staples of today’s society. It is of vital importance that power plants have maximum operational reliability – and as such optimised fire protection in order to prevent fires and explosions that may have serious consequences such as:
- serious injuries or fatalities among the employees
- damages on machinery, transport systems and storage facilities
- production interruptions
- loss of income
- expenses for repairs and replacement of damaged machinery
- loss of customers
Ignition sources in power plants
The path from fuel source to power production is filled with ignition sources that can quickly develop dramatically. Foreign bodies, defective machinery and overheating may cause sparks and embers that are transferred to other parts of the facility through extraction systems or conveyor belts and thereby reach areas or materials – including coal, biomass and wooden pellets that are used as fuel – that are highly combustible and may constitute a high risk of fire or explosions.
Particular danger zones in power plants that should be protected include:
- Hammer mills
- Transport systems
- Silo systems
- Firing chambers
- Filter units
- Cyclones
- Smoke gas filters
- Filters
- Storage areas/containers holding materials with a risk of spontaneous combustion
Maximise the fire protection of your power plant
An advanced fire protection system from Nextech gives you optimised protection against fires. Highly sensitive detectors and efficient extinguishing systems ensure that ignition sources are detected and extinguished the moment they occur. If a fire should break out, the system automatically sounds the alarm and initiates countermeasures, limiting the damages from the fire.
