The paper and cardboard producing industry implicate large challenges regarding effective fire protection and prevention. In particular the machine protection is the main emphasis for fire fighting measures due to the high investment and the huge cost of business interruption as a consequence of a fire.
The extreme conditions in the drying hoods, high temperatures, large fire load, fast fire spread, represent large challenges. Because of the characteristics of the drying hood the system is to be installed in several levels (cover, roller range and cellar).
AQUASYS developed a water mist fire fighting concept specifically for the pulp and paper industry. Based upon a catalogue of requirements as set forth by an accredited fire protection and security research Institut the water mist systems are designed considering the characteristics in drying hoods.
The purpose of AQUASYS water mist system is to provide fire suppression simultaneous in shielded areas within the paper machine as well as in exhaust ducts and cellar areas to prevent fire spread and larger damages. Particularly advantageous for this application are the enormous cooling efficiency of the AQUASYS high pressure water mist system as well as the three-dimensional effect of this fire fighting agent. Successful activations of the water mist systems at our clients already demonstrated the superiority of AQUASYS water mist systems over conventional systems.
