Fire Protection for the Energy Sector

The energy sector, including power plants, substations, and distribution networks, relies on critical installations where the fire risk can have major operational and environmental consequences.

At the heart of these installations, electrical transformers play a vital role in energy transmission. By adjusting voltage levels, they ensure the proper distribution of electricity across the grid. However, these systems, often made up of casings filled with oils or cooling fluids, are exposed to several major risks:

• Short Circuits
• Overheating
• Oil or coolant leaks

 

To protect these critical installations, Ai Group offers solutions tailored to the specific configurations of electrical substations. Fire-extinguishing powder (especially GRANITO powder) is the most effective solution, particularly for transformers installed in confined spaces. It allows for rapid flame suppression, prevents fire spread, and limits material damage.

Alternatively, water mist or additive water mist offers a relevant solution. By creating a cooling effect on oily surfaces, it reduces temperature, slows the formation of flammable vapors, and limits the risk of re-ignition.

Our solutions can be deployed as automatic or manual systems, with delivery via fixed nozzles, specialized spray systems, or localized networks, depending on the constraints of each site.
