Hydrant System

Being one of the oldest but yet the most effective and
common fire fighting solution, a well designed and a well
laid out Hydrant System forms the backbone of the entire
fire fighting system. It comprises of heavy duty above &
underground piping with accessories. External and Fire
Escape Hydrant valves are provided at every strategic
location. A fire hydrant is a pipe that allows water to flow
from a water main with the control of a valve in order to
put out a fire.

Fire Hydrant Protection System is designed to fight fire of

huge proportions, in all classes of risks. It is designed to be
in operation even if a part of the affected structure
collapses.

Dry barrel and wet barrel are the two kinds of Fire
Hydrants. The wet barrel fire hydrant holds a constant
water supply, while the dry barrel fire hydrant needs to
have a valve release to let water in.

It is designed to provide rapid access to water in the event

that a fire breaks out. Fire Brigade Connections are
installed as standalone systems which act like building-
specific fire hydrants, providing fire protection which will
be readily available to fire fighters.

Guidelines and approval for Hydrant System are available

from various national and international organizations like:
NBC, NFPA, TAC, IS, FM and Local Fire Authorities.

System Information
Sprinkler System:

A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of a

water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flow rate to a
water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected.

Over the years, fire sprinklers have become mandatory safety equipment
in most parts of India, in certain occupancies like newly constructed
hospitals, schools, hotels and other public buildings, Industries, etc.
subject to the local building codes and enforcement.

Sprinklers may be required to be installed to reduce potential property

losses or business interruption. Each sprinkler activates independently
when the predetermined heat level is reached. Because of this, the
number of sprinklers that operate is limited to only those near the fire,
thereby maximizing the available water pressure over the point of fire
origin.

Fire Sprinkler Systems have been the biggest breakthrough in fire

protection in the last 100 years. Fire sprinklers are the most effective
method of protecting lives and property. Sprinkler systems are now
recognized as being so effective they are being made mandatory in many
situations.

Every building should be classified for fire risk under the following
categories: light hazard, ordinary hazard group and high hazard group.
Factors involved in classifying a building's hazard level include the
material used in construction, the occupancy level, the materials stored in
the building, the processes performed in the building (and whether these
processes include flammable liquids), ceiling heights, ease of egress, and
the amount of floors and rooms.

System Information
Water Spray System:

Water Spray System is a special fixed pipe system connected to a reliable

source of pressurised water supply and equipped with water spray nozzles
for application on area / equipment to be protected. The system can be
operated automatically by connection to an automatic detection and
alarm system or manually, or both.
Water spray systems are generally used for fire protection of flammable
liquid and gas storage tanks, piping, pumping equipment, electrical
equipment such as transformers, oil switches, rotating electrical
machinery etc. and for protection of openings in fire walls and floors.

The piping system is connected to the water supply through an

automatically actuated Deluge Valve, which initiates flow of water.
Automatic actuation is achieved by operation of automatic detecting
equipment installed along with water spray nozzles. There are two types
of systems namely High Velocity and Medium Velocity systems.

Types of Water Spray System:

• Medium Velocity Water Spray Systems (MVWSS) are used for fire
protection of areas with fire risks from low FP flammable liquids (FP below
65 Degree C) and also for fire extinguishment of water miscible liquids
(polar solvents, alcohols etc.) small installation as it becomes cost
effective and also serves the purpose of safety and location identification
is easy.
• High Velocity Water Spray Systems (HVWSS) are used for extinction of
fires in flammable medium and heavy oils or similar flammable liquids
having a flashpoint above 65 Degree C. (E.g. Transformer Fires, Lube Oil
Tanks, Etc).

Components of the System:

• Fire Fighting Pumps & Accessories.

• Piping
• Nozzles
• Deluge Valve
• Sprinkler / Detectors / Compressor
• Wiring & Instrumentations
• Maintenance Valves

Operational Information
Water Spray System:

The high / medium velocity water spray system protection operates on the
same principle as a deluge system. Deluge Valve is known as a system
control valve in a deluge system, used for fast application of water in a
spray system. Deluge valve is a quick release, hydraulically operated
diaphragm valve. It has three chambers, isolated from each other by the
diaphragm operated clapper and seat seal. While in 'SET' position, water
pressure is transmitted through an external bypass check valve and
restriction orifice from the system supply side to the top chamber, so that
supply pressure in the top chamber acts across the diaphragm operated
clapper which holds the seat against the inlet supply pressure because of
differential pressure design. On detection of fire the top chamber is vented
to atmosphere through the outlet port via opened actuation device(s). The
top chamber pressure cannot be replenished through the restricted inlet
port, thus it reaches less than half the supply pressure instantaneously
and the upward force of the supply pressure lifts the clapper allowing
water to enter the system piping network and alarm devices. This allows
the water to flow out through the projectors in the form of high / medium
velocity water spray and extinguishes the fire. Generally, a water motor
operated gong (as in the case of sprinkler systems) sounds the fire alarm.
Sometimes, additionally an electrical alarm may also be provided. The
water spray systems should have isolation facilities so as to enable
periodic testing, maintenance etc. Normally, all cut-off valves should be
locked open.

We offer best Design & Engineering of an integrated HVW / MVW spray

system as per national/ international standard and guidelines. Our
designed system in accordance to international standards is an
arrangement of Piping, Deluge & Automatic Value, Nozzle, Q.B. Detectors
etc. to make an automatic or manually actuated fixed pipe system

Foam Protection System:

Foam Fire Fighting System

Fire suppression foam is comprised of three parts: foam concentrate,
water, and air. When mixed correctly, these parts form a homogeneous
foam blanket that extinguishes flames by the combined mechanisms of
cooling, separating the flame source from the product surface,
suppressing vapours, and smothering. This makes foam suppression
systems an effective option for protecting flammable and combustible
liquids.

System Tanks: System Tanks house the foam concentrate. We offer a

wide variety of System Tanks ranging from vertical to horizontal, pre-
piped, atmospheric, and stainless steel, as well as the accessories you’ll
need to go with them. In addition, Foam pump skids are available as well.

CO2 GAS FLOODING SYSTEM

CO2 at atmospheric pressure is a colourless, odourless and electrically

Non-Conductive inert gas. It has high expansion ratio, which facilities rapid
discharge and allows three dimensional quick penetrations in the entire
hazard area. Made from premium components, this CO2 Gas Flooding
System’s importance lies in the fact that it has high efficiency to
extinguish fire by reducing the oxygen content of the protected area
below the point where it can support combustion. This CO2 Gas Flooding
System provides a blanket of heavy gas that reduces the oxygen content
of the atmosphere to a point where combustion is not sustainable.

Applications
Modern, more efficient equipment makes use of carbon dioxide to displace
intra cardiac gases in a safe procedure. The carbon dioxide field-flooding
technique is safer, easier, and more efficacious than tradition. Used for
machinery spaces, pump rooms and cargo holds, the CO2 by suppressing
the oxygen content in the space. From main distribution valves, a piping
system is used to distribute the gas to the discharge nozzles, which are
placed uniformly throughout the protected CO2 extinguishing system is a
total flooding system designed to use in engine rooms, pump rooms and
cargo holds. It extinguishes fires using CO2 by suppressing the oxygen
content in the space.

NOVEC GAS FLOODING SYSTEM

NOVEC is an innovative solution that reduces the risk of fire damage in

critical applications and sensitive equipment. At a proper system design
concentration, the extinguishing agent NOVEC Fire Protection Fluid
absorbs sufficient heat to upset the balance of the fire. This cooling effect
is supported by the oxygen reduction in the flame due to the volumetric
expansion of the molecules. The high efficiency of the NOVEC system
allows using a low extinguishing concentration. As a result, the user needs
to store only a relatively small amount of the extinguishing agent to safely
protect rooms. Additionally, the minimum 10 bar at the nozzle concept
used by Siemens ensures fast and full evaporation of the NOVEC fluid,
minimizing extinguishing times. Compact system designs are possible as
NOVEC works with the NOVEC fluid, offering the lowest design
concentration of all currently authorized extinguishing agents. Fewer
cylinders and less space are needed for installation and storage because
the liquid agent NOVEC fluid is stored in cylinders pressurized with 42-bar
nitrogen.

Highlights

• Manufactured using high-pressure technology

• Allows higher design flexibility and enables the realization of larger

and more complex piping networks compared to low-pressure
 systems.

Special software comes installed that precisely calculates the ideal

• layout of the piping network, so the clients get an optimal solution
tailored to their individual needs.

• Can easily be adapted to existing ones with few alterations.

Intrusion Alarm System

Intrusion Alarm System is a system designed to detect intrusion –

unauthorized entry – into a building or area. Security alarms are used in
residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties for protection
against burglary (theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection
against intruders.

Some alarm systems serve a single purpose of burglary protection;

combination systems provide both fire and intrusion protection. Intrusion
alarm systems may also be combined with closed-circuit television
surveillance systems to automatically record the activities of intruders,
and may interface to access control systems for electrically locked doors.
Systems range from small, self-contained noisemakers, to complicated,
multi-area systems with computer monitoring and control.
Components of the System

• Premises control unit (PCU), or panel: The "brain" of the system, it

reads sensor inputs, tracks arm/disarm status, and signals intrusions. In
modern systems, this is typically one or more computer circuit boards
inside a metal enclosure, along with a power supply.

• Sensors: Devices which detect intrusions. Sensors may be placed at

the perimeter of the protected area, within it, or both. Sensors can detect
intruders by a variety of methods, such as monitoring doors and windows
for opening, or by monitoring unoccupied interiors for motions, sound,
vibration, or other disturbances.

• Alerting devices: These indicate an alarm condition. Most commonly,

these are bells, sirens, and/or flashing lights. Alerting devices serve the
dual purposes of warning occupants of intrusion, and potentially scaring
off burglars. These devices may also be used to warn occupants of a fire
or smoke condition.

• Keypads: Small devices, typically wall-mounted, which function as the

human-machine interface to the system. In addition to buttons, keypads
typically feature indicator lights, a small multi-character display, or both.

Wet Riser System

A typical building normally has two or more shafts, which travel from the
lowest level of the building to its terrace. Such shafts are normally used to
carry the piping for the wet-riser systems. Hydrant outlets are provided on
every floor so that the entire floor area of the building is adequately
covered. Outlets are provided in the form of double-outlet landing valves
apart from a canvas hose for the use of fire-fighting personnel in the event
of fire.

All wet-riser pipes remain charged with water at systems pressure. The
opening of a hydrant landing valve or hose reel on any floor reduces the
pressure in the pipeline and starts the hydrant pump. Pump-sets of
suitable capacity are provided for this purpose. Because of the static
pressure differential caused by the change in floor height, a multi-stage
pump is employed so that different tapping can be taken from the output
of the pump. Each of these tapping can be used to serve more than one
floor. Pumps-sets should be fed with reliable electric supply from a
separate feeder and it is therefore also desirable to have a stand-by diesel
pump.
Guidelines and approval for Hydrant System are available from various
national and international organizations like: NBC, NFPA, TAC, IS, FM and
Local Fire Authorities.
