Fire protection solution for gas and steam turbines

Gas and steam turbines operate with large amounts of flammable fluids at high temperatures

Facilities operating with steam and gas turbines are at high risk of fire and explosions as these machines operate with large amounts of flammable fluids at very high temperatures. Leaking oil is one of the most common causes of fire in steam and gas turbines. The oil can be ignited easily by hot surfaces, and the resulting fire can spread fast to adjacent equipment and cause significant property damage. To protect people, and avoid property damage and business interruption, an effective and fast-acting fire suppression system is required. VID FIREKILL offers a low pressure watermist system specially developed for the protection of steam and gas turbines. The low pressure watermist system quickly controls the fire and prevents it from escalating and spreading. The FIREKILL system effectively fights fire without having to shut down engines or evacuate people. With potable water as the only firefighting agent, the system is safe for people and the environment.
