liquids (foam monitor) or flammable gases (dry chemical
monitors) or event they can work simultaneously for
both type of risks a twin agent system. Dry chemical is
the fastest means for extinguishing the fire and foam
AFFF or AFFF/AR seals permanently the fire, preventing
the fire re-ignition. The most known dry chemical
powders are Ultrex K, Monnex and Purple K.

These monitors can be also coupled with thermal
imaging fire detection system in order to efficiently
detect hot spots and extinguish fires in an automatic
way.

An ideal fire control system would be able to properly
identify the fire, activate a fire suppression system, and
then turn itself off.
This may result in lower false alarms, it will provide
enhanced detection, improve efficiencies, and use
several sensing technologies.
Some examples of fire detection technologies called
“trace” and VID (video) systems, that can be integrated
with remote-controlled fire fighting monitors.
An important development is toward more specific
products and more specialized systems for specific
applications and niche markets.

We, SANCO, are available to supply customized
protection schemes to provide a verified level of
confidence, whenever and wherever needed.
