Alpha Fire Services (Pvt) Ltd, Sri Lanka, has launched the Proano Kitchen Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems, which are rapid and effective on kitchen (F/K class) of fires. Water Mist is nebulised fresh water distributed through a network of Proano’s specially designed Mist Nozzles under low pressure. “This system is known to suppress F/K class fires rapidly and bring the temperature down quickly. Unlike traditional chemical systems, when a Water Mist Fire Suppression System is used there’s no need to disrupt or shut down operations which leads to little to no down-time,” said Mr. Frank Anthony Ryde, at Alpha Fire Services.

Proano’s LPCB certified Commercial Kitchen Product is the first certified Water Mist product to protect industrial and commercial kitchens used around the world in many 5 star hotels and food courts. Ryde added that the benefits of Water Mist technology are many, as once water droplets are nebulised into millions of nano-sized particles, they work on 2 sides of the Fire Tetrahedron, cooling down the heat, and suffocation of the fire from oxygen by the chemical reaction of mist being converted into steam. This proves safe for people in occupied areas due to it working in low pressure and using low water volumes, resulting in minimal damage.
