Fire Detection System- Why Automatic Systems ? Automatic systems work without human intervention Precious time is lost when we wait for Fire Fighters to come Fight FIGHT FIRE WITH KNOWLEDGE Fire Safety Solutions Automatic Fire Detection & Alarm System gives out audible & visible Alarm in the area protected It displays place of occurrence of Alarm Automatic Fire Detection & Alarm System sends out pre-recorded Alarm messages over phone, mobile mail to Fire Brigade It repeats Alarm to security

Fire Detectors Flame Detectors Gas Detectors All connected with Transmitters & Controllers Controlled by PLC or without PLC Connected to Plant DCS & Shutdown System FIGHT FIRE WITH KNOWLEDGE Fire & Gas Systems Gas Detector Flame Detector Fire Panel

FIGHT FIRE WITH KNOWLEDGE Fire Detection System-Scope of Improvements Conventional System Addressable System Automated System Integrated Automated System Case Study – Augmentation project Implemented at IOCL – Haldia Refinery Result – A)Display of fire incident location in large format makes it easy for fire brigade operators to respond & report to the location quickly. B) Total quantity of cables have been reduced to very minimum. As a result the nightmare for the electrical maintenance department is over. C) All incident records are transmitted by to the concern departments. They are all available in server for future reference. Integration = Gas + Fire Detectors
