Steam Fire Extinguishing

• Design of the system
• Delivery and assembly
• Commissioning and service

• Protection of coal and biomass mills (including ball, roller and fan mills) from fire – the system of steam extinguishing in conditions of undetermined mill operation (e.g. stoppage or overheating) removes fuel from mill inside and inertises the system
• Cleaning ball, roller and fan mills from retaining fuel (mainly light biomass)

The steam extinguishing technology is based on steaming up mills in a manner allowing for immediate removal from the mill inside of fuel residues which might be ignited, both during the mill operation and during a shutdown. A stream of steam fed to to the mill inside removes fuel residues in the areas where fuel retention is most probable. Properly profiled and placed injection nozzles feed steam as a stream at high speed, ensuring a complete steam expansion, which allows to achieve a proper cleaning effectiveness.

Depending on the design input accepted for calculations, the systems mounted in mills ensure:

• Possibly quick mechanical removal of fuel residues from the mill inside. Fuel is directed to the boiler and transported by the original air coming from the working mill fan (ball mills) or by a mixture of air and flue gases forced spontaneously by the mill (fan mills).
• Cooling the mill space. The steam introduced to the mill has usually a lower temperature than the original air. Frequently, it is wet steam which is subject to further heating and evaporation in the expansion process inside the mill.
• Complete inertisation of the mill inner space. Depending on the design input, the steam volume and feeding method may ensure – with continuous feeding of original air – a complete inertisation, i.e. reduction of oxygen content in the stream of gases passing through the mill to a level preventing combustion.

We make complex deliveries of steam extinguishing systems an explosion damping and decoupling system.

Cooperation with a single partner guarantees proper interaction and reliability of both systems (a lack of collision of the steam extinguishing plant with the explosion damping and decoupling system).
