Fire protection - Wetting

Water is sprayed to control the spread of a fire but not extinguish it. Wetting is commonly used in gas leak situations where the gas continues to be consumed by the flame until the gas flow is turned off.

If this type of fire is extinguished before the gas flow is shut off, there is a risk that a large amount of flammable gas will accumulate, which could lead to a gas explosion.

Factors to consider for effective wetting fire protection

There are a number of important factors to consider in order to achieve an optimised fire protection solution. Our experienced staff and engineers are available to help with calculations and find the right solution.

Size and shape of the target area, equipment, or enclosure
Design specifications and requirements - required flow rates/coverage densities
Available nozzle mounting locations
Available liquid pressure drop (∆P) across the nozzle = supply pressure at nozzle inlet - process pressure outside nozzle

Project review and proposed solution

To deliver the optimal solution, it is important to go through in detail various factors that affect product choice, type of solution, investment objective, and other requirements at an early stage of the project.

A start-up meeting is important to find out about various factors that will affect choice of equipment and solution in order to achieve the most efficient and sustainable solution. We are happy to set up the start-up meeting as a web meeting or a site visit, depending on your preference. All details and information from the start-up meeting we will summarise and go through with you to make sure we agree on project scope and objective.

Next step, we present a proposed solution, focusing on function, lifespan, quality, choice of material, operating and maintenance costs, and environmental impact. Our goal is to deliver a sustainable solution that creates added value to your company,
