Fire protection for laboratories is critical for ensuring the safety of personnel, equipment, and valuable research materials.
Laboratories are high-risk environments due to the presence of flammable chemicals, high-temperature equipment, and sensitive experiments.
Implementing advanced fire detection and suppression systems for laboratories is essential to minimise fire risks and maintain compliance with safety regulations.
In laboratory environments, early fire detection is vital. Aspirating smoke detection systems are ideal for these spaces, offering ultra-sensitive detection of smoke particles before a fire becomes visible.
This early warning allows for swift action, minimising potential damage and disruption. For laboratories handling hazardous materials, flame detectors provide rapid detection of fires caused by chemical reactions or equipment malfunctions.
To extinguish fires effectively without damaging sensitive equipment or experiments, laboratories often require specialised fire suppression systems for hazardous materials.
Inert gas fire suppression systems, such as those using nitrogen or argon, are commonly used as they safely extinguish fires by displacing oxygen while leaving no residue. In some cases, chemical suppression systems are preferred for tackling fires caused by specific substances.
Astro Fire Systems designs, installs, and maintains tailored fire protection systems for laboratories, ensuring compliance with regulations like BS EN 15004. Our solutions provide reliable protection for research facilities, pharmaceutical labs, and chemical testing centres.
