Flammable chemicals. High vapour pressures. Near-invisible flames. How do you fight something you can’t see?
For businesses with chemical or liquid storage needs, the risks to personal safety and operational uptime have never been higher.
This is why we have created PyroSentry®, a real-time fire detection and prevention system, designed for safe chemical and liquid storage in the most hazardous of environments.
Take, for example, the use of methanol in well testing and completion processes. An effective solvent, it’s extremely flammable and can ignite from just 10.5°C (51°F). It has no visible flame when it burns in air, making it very difficult to spot the extent of a fire, especially in daylight.
The PyroSentry® fire detection and suppression system requires no power, operates automatically and is permanently on guard.
In the event of a heat-triggered risk, it instantly deploys foam to suppress fires, keeping your team safe and minimising the risk of downtime.
PyroSentry® built-in features
- Safe chemical/liquid storage segregation
- Perpetual fire detection, with no power required
- Automatic fire suppression with integrated alerting through audiovisual alarms
- Containerised design with bund capacity of 10ft x 8ft (PyroSentry®) or 20ft x 8ft (PyroSentry+)
Optional upgrades:
- Remote control station with manual activation and audiovisual alarm (Zone II-approved electrical system)
- Audible visual alarm system
- Thermal imaging cameras
- Portable firefighting system
- MeOH-rated hoses (4in ID x 5m length)
- Sacrificial deck securing brackets
