FIRE FIGHTING SPRINKLER TANKS
Tricel fire protection tanks are trusted by businesses, municipalities and their insurers who rely on the availability of emergency water supply to a sprinkler system in the event of a fire.
Due to the dangerous and destructive nature of fire, protection systems and their components must meet the stringent regulations.
Water capacities requirements
Water capacities requirement is depended on a number of key factor applicable to individual applications. Capacity levels are determined by the following:
Hazard classifications – Usually the larger the hazard the greater volume of water required for protection
Duration of water supply
Mains refill capabilities – Refill duration limits outlined in BS EN12845, BS 9251 etc.
Holding capacity requirements. Full holding or reduced capacity. Reduced capacity may be acceptable where the main refill capabilities are sufficient to make up the water requirement balance within the “time” regulations for specific hazard classifications
Wet or dry pipe system
Range between the highest and lowest sprinker
Sprinker design standard
Tricel tank range in capacity from 5m3 to 1300m3. Tanks are manufactured from GRP, its robust properties excellent for longevity. They are constructed to ensure minimal maintenance is required, limiting the necessity to drain down the tank during maintenance work.
