The project in brief
VID Fire-Kill was contacted by the English owner of a number of power plants using waste wood as the main fuel. They had experienced fires in the waist wood in their incoming inventory area and therefore wanted a proven watermist solution. The reason they wanted watermist was because they wanted to be able to supply the system with water from the existing water mains, and conventional water spray solutions would exceed that.
VID Fire-Kill offered to have their special integrated pipe and nozzle solution Model N-pipes tested to such a scenario involving deep seated Class A fires. Following the CEN/TS 14972 annex B, together with an ISO17025 accredited laboratory and the owners insurer, VID Fire-Kill accomplished to have their Model N-pipes Type 2V successfully tested to such large, potential deep seated class A fires with acceptance from the AHJ being the insurer.
