Smoke Stratification – A Matter of Height
Stratification is a largely unknown issue, but affects any high level building. This happens when the thermal ‘lift’ of the smoke is not sufficient to break through a warm layer

The greatest problem with process lines is that the material is movement. Without rapid and effective detection, a fire risk can pass under any detection & suppression system installed and
Open protocol and closed protocol fire alarm systems refer to two different approaches in designing and implementing fire alarm systems. These terms primarily relate to fire alarm systems’ communication and
Video Smoke Detection is perfect for a fast response to fires in high roofed buildings and harsh operating conditions.
Watch Smokecatcher detect smoke in an MSW storage building. The smoke is coming through from a fire in the adjoining storage area.
Watch Smokecatcher detect a fire in an SRF Storage bunker. Sadly, the alarm wasn’t responded to and the site lost a 4hr window of opportunity between smoke detection and flames appearing.
Video Smoke Detection overcomes the risks of stratification and other challenges for early fire detection in logistics and storage facilities.
Watch Fire Rover detect and suppress a fire in the waste bunker at an EFW facility!
See how the Fire Rover detects and suppresses this fire at a clients tipping hall. Note how the smok is spreading out at low leve, rather than rising. This is called ‘stratification’ and is one of the many reasons why roof-mounted smoke detection systems like beam detectors and HSSD is not suitable for many recycling applications.
Watch the Fire Rover detect and suppress a fire at a battery storage facility. This targeted and intellegent control makes the Fire Rover particularly well suited to high hazard storage applications.
Watch the Fire Rover tackle a battery fire in a tipping hall. Note how the exploding battery cells start three separate fires, which the operator individually suppresses (whilst avoiding the site operators in the vicinity).
