Tetra Pak is a multinational food packaging and processing company with headquarters in Europe. It was built on the tetrahedron-shaped plastic-coated paper carton innovation, from which its name is derived. Tetra Pak offers packaging, filling machines and processing for the food and beverage industry and it’s currently the world's leading food processing and packaging solutions company.
The demand for innovation, along with the need to protect people, facilities and infrastructure are big concerns for Tetra Pak’s Indonesian laboratories. Scientists are always looking for new solutions in order to reduce costs and increase food quality. Tetra Pak laboratories are regarded as some of the most advanced in the market. Be that as it may, incidents involving fire in laboratory settings are quite common and this is what brings fire protection into the equation.
Design, supply, install and maintain a tailor-made fire detection and suppression system that is able to protect against fire threats several locations within the laboratory room. The fire protection system must be reliable, compact, discrete and efficient. The extinguishing agent must also be able to suppress various classes of fire. The system must be designed according to both local and internationally recognized standards and regulations. Tetra Pak has a sustainability policy thus the system should be environmentally friendly.
The FirePro environmentally friendly FPC agent is able to tackle A, B, C & F classes of fire; hence, the potential chemical, electrical or other hydrocarbon related fire threats are not an issue. Also, the modularity and adaptability of the FirePro system were significant factors in the decision process for its use to protect the laboratory enclosure and the equipment and other contents within. The consultancy team recognizing FirePro technology’s superiority and its advantages - that include a low maintenance requirement - made it for them a highly desirable all-encompassing solution for this application.
FirePro total flooding fire suppression units are discretely installed in the suspended ceiling above selected tiles with openings through which the agent is propelled in the event of fire. The system offers peace of mind to operators in case of several fire emergency scenarios including those involving human error. With no piping required and no pressurized cylinders the system was promptly installed. Tetra Pak’s equipment, facilities and personnel are now protected in an environmentally friendly way.
