Renewable Energy Fire Suppression Systems

What Power Do Renewable Energy Systems Use?

To be clear, renewable energy sources are typically sources of energy created by natural occurrences. They are environmentally-friendly solutions, rather than gas supply systems that use little to no carbon footprint (no carbon dioxide emissions).

A few illustrations of what renewable energy uses to power machinery, equipment or any appliances around the world would be solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, bioenergy and hydroelectric power. 

This essentially means that you can use this technology over and over again without it leaving any damaging effects on our planet.

Why Invest in a Renewable Energy Fire Suppression System?

With this being a rather new industry to work in, a lot of the energy systems are expensive. Wind turbines, solar polar-powered systems, bioenergy systems, etc are being manufactured and placed all around the UK to provide natural energy to businesses and homes in every location… but can be expensive to replace. 

Therefore, if you’re a renewable energy company looking to protect each piece of machinery - a renewable energy fire suppression system will be for you! At MEP Fire, we understand that if your machinery and equipment get heavily damaged in the event of a fire, this could cause your business premises to shut down completely. 

These critical assets are crafted in a high-paced environment and if the fulfilment and production rate slows down - we could begin to return to traditional energy sources. Not only that, but in the event of a fire spreading with flammable materials being present, staff members could be at serious risk of injury or potential death.

Installing a fire extinguishing system secures that if anything were to go wrong in the workplace (or the place of installation, for example, a wind turbine fire) - you will have peace of mind that the fire suppressant will do its job without any human intervention.

Your renewable energy business needs to be trusted at all times and if anything were to go wrong with your customers - reviews and reputation could be eternally damaged. Ensure that all of your fire hazards (whether that be indoor or outdoor appliances) are covered today with a renewable energy fire suppression system!

What Types of Renewable Energy Fire Suppression Systems Can You Install?

Now that you know the reasons why these durable fire safety kits are important to your renewable energy machinery, whether that be generator rooms, turbine rooms, lithium-ion batteries and many more - blindly going into the fire suppression system market could potentially end up with you investing in a system that won’t furnish optimal protection.

Here at MEP Fire, we understand the crucial responsibilities that renewable energy companies face every day and we’ve tried and tested specific systems in these environments to compile the top renewable energy fire suppression systems that you can protect your environment with. Here is the list of fire suppression systems we would recommend for your business.

 Chemical Gas Fire Suppression Systems

Perfect for electrical equipment, this high-quality fire suppression system will suit your renewable energy machinery and equipment perfectly. Installing a chemical gas fire suppression system within your indoor and outdoor premises will impose fire detection before you even realise it is becoming a problem and begin the extinguishing process. 

With a clear and minimal odour chemical agent being released into the atmosphere, the chemical reaction will absorb the heat caused by the flames by reducing the oxygen level. To prevent flames from reigniting, the chemical will not stop until all flames can’t be detected.

Condensed Aerosol Systems

With deep analysis, we found that our condensed aerosol systems work extremely well in renewable energy environments for all up-and-coming energy vehicles, charging pillars, batteries, etc. 

Condensed aerosol systems release a compound of potassium salts that creates a drenching effect (without any liquids being released). This environmentally friendly model will not deplete oxygen in any way but will interrupt the combustion process. You will now have the chance to evacuate the building whilst this drains the fire of any heat.

Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems

Once electrical equipment such as lithium-ion batteries, small solar electrical systems, small wind electric systems, etc become harmed - it becomes extremely unpredictable to gauge what is going to happen. 

Often, there are no external signs that the equipment is damaged - thus, at MEP Fire, we’d recommend you invest in fire protection systems immediately. 

Whether it is overheated temperature or propagation, having a plan for the unknown is crucial. Watermist systems will be the saviour if there were to ever be a minor explosion as the mist would be triggered within seconds.

Choosing The Right Renewable Energy Fire Suppression System Provider

At MEP Fire, we empathise that no situation and equipment are the same - meaning that every customer of ours will need individual treatment. We’re completely open to having a chat with you and discussing what we think is the best renewable energy system for your specific equipment as the options above could differ in effectiveness for your company.

We pride ourselves on going the extra mile in protecting the core of each business we work with, as we feel there should be fire safety installed in all homes and businesses around the UK. Prioritising quality and effectiveness is our ethos as with it being such a high-risk solution, we work tirelessly to ensure that our fire systems will supply the best treatment.
