Risks & Consequences

Dr. Reddy’s formulations use various chemical compositions such as the Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) solvent which are flammable and in certain conditions may create an explosive atmosphere. Risk areas, such as storage rooms and mixing stations for these chemicals, must be fitted with a fire suppression system to confront a fire and contain its spread. A potential fire scenario will cause discontinuity of production, loss of business and threaten human lives.

The Task

To design, install and commission a fire suppression system that is able to protect various flammable materials in multiple locations such as, clean rooms, storage rooms, disposal areas and battery rooms. A major prerequisite was that the fire suppression system used is suitable for Zone 2 ATEX environments. Since highly flammable liquid materials are involved, the system’s reaction speed and effectiveness were decisive technology factors in the selection process.

Why FirePro?

FirePro is certified for multiple classes of fire, therefore a suitable fire protection solution for numerous applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The technology utilises an environmentally friendly fire suppression agent that complies with stringent international standards and regulations. Our compact, pre-engineered generators are the equivalent of the agent storage tank, piping and nozzles of a pressurized gas system. The simplicity of the system’s design and installation, along with its minimum maintenance requirements, result in a low cost of ownership during its 15-year lifetime.
