WATER MISTING SYSTEMS

Overview

Tricel offers a comprehensive range of water storage solutions, including specialized tanks for water misting systems.

A misting system provides an advanced fire suppression solution by addressing two key elements of fire: oxygen and heat. These systems use a fine water spray to suppress and extinguish fires by cooling flames and surrounding gases through evaporation. They are an essential addition to modern fire protection setups, often integrated with smoke alarms or fire detection systems.

How Does a Water Misting System Work?

Water misting systems operate by atomising water droplets into a fine mist, which rapidly evaporates to absorb heat and cool the surrounding environment. The water stored in the tank is pressurised and dispersed through nozzles to create this mist. This process not only suppresses flames but also reduces the temperature of the air and surrounding materials.

Supplying the Biggest Projects

With vast experience, we have completed various projects across different industries. No project is too big or complicated for us at Tricel. Every project is different, and we have installed GRP sectional water tanks where space was restricted to a minimum and other structural factors were a concern.

Benefits of a Misting System

  • Immediate Activation: Quick response to fire emergencies.

  • Rapid Fire Suppression: Efficient cooling properties help control fires faster.

  • Minimised Water Damage: Reduces the risk of excessive water-related issues.

  • Eco-Friendly: Uses less water compared to traditional systems.

  • Adaptability: Can be installed in space-constrained areas.

  • Reduced Operational Downtime: Businesses can resume operations quickly after an incident.

  • Enhanced Reach: Effective in extinguishing fires in hard-to-access areas.
