Types of Fire Suppression Skids Offered by Rotaflow

Rotaflow offers a wide range of fire suppression skids, each designed to address specific fire hazards and industry applications. These units are built to comply with industry standards and regulations and are custom-designed to align with site-specific safety protocols.

1. Clean Agent Fire Suppression Skids

Clean agent systems are ideal for protecting sensitive equipment and areas where water-based suppression is not suitable. These systems utilise agents such as FM-200, Novec 1230, or Inergen to suppress fire without leaving residue, making them ideal for data centres, control rooms, and electrical enclosures.

Key Features:

• Zero water damage
• Rapid fire suppression
• Environmentally safe and non-conductive

3. Foam Spray Suppression Skids

Foam skids combine water with firefighting foam concentrate to create an effective blanket that smothers flammable liquid fires and prevents re-ignition. These skids are ideal for areas with high hydrocarbon risks, such as oil storage facilities, chemical plants, and airport fuel farms.

Key Features:

• Compatible with AFFF, AR-AFFF, and other foam concentrates
• Engineered to industry-specific foam application rates
• Self-contained systems with onboard tanks and proportioners

5. Gas Detection Integration

Rotaflow also integrates gas detection systems into fire suppression skids to provide early warning and automated response to hazardous gas leaks. Systems can detect a wide range of combustible and toxic gases, providing continuous monitoring in high-risk areas.

Key Features:

• Real-time detection and control
• Integration with suppression activation
• Compatible with SCADA and BMS systems

2. Water Spray Suppression Skids

Water spray skids are engineered for rapid cooling and containment of flammable liquid fires and other high-temperature hazards. These systems distribute water in fine droplets through strategically placed nozzles for effective area coverage.

Key Features:

• Efficient heat absorption
• Designed for tank farms, refineries, and process plants
• Corrosion-resistant components for long-term durability

4. Dry Chemical Suppression Skids

Dry chemical systems are essential for rapid knockdown of Class A, B, and C fires, especially in remote or high-risk industrial sites. Skids are equipped with high-capacity powder tanks, discharge hoses, and nozzles to quickly deploy dry chemical agents like ABC or BC powder.

Key Features:

• Immediate flame knockdown
• Effective in cold or dry environments
• Skid-mounted for mobile or fixed operation
