TKS Pro Engineering is a trading and production company in the field of fire protection. The company develops and implements innovative fire extinguishing technologies that are far superior in efficiency to foreign counterparts. The proposed technologies meet all requirements and standards in the field of firefighting.

With a focus on quality and reliability, TKS Pro Engineering ensures that every solution is tailored to protect lives and property effectively.

Gas-Powder Fire Extinguishing Technology

The technology is based on a new principle of firefighting – the use of a mixture of extinguishing powder and CO2 gas.

The synergy effect is most clearly demonstrated by a certain mixing ratio – the gas-powdery extinguishing substance is required in five times the quantity if the substances contained are used separately.

The powder moves quickly and evenly in the gas mixture, filling the entire volume, and carbon dioxide not only serves to displace the powder from the container, but also participates in the extinguishing process by displacing oxygen and cooling the protected volume.

Gas Fire-Extinguishing Functions

Cooling

The temperature in the protected volume drops as soon as the extinguishing agent reaches a temperature of -75 °C.

Isolation

Separation of the combustion and pyrolysis zones.

Dilution (phlegmatization)

Reduction of the oxygen concentration in the combustion zone.

Stato-dynamic deletion

The speed of the extinguishing agent flow at the nozzle outlet is around 70 m/s.

Inhibition

Chemical and physical suppression of the combustion process.

Protection of tanks and storage facilities

storage facilities
  • The unit is designed to automatically extinguish fires in vertical steel tanks with floating roof, fixed roof and pontoon as well as fixed roof without pontoon. It is used to protect both individual tanks and groups of tanks with a volume of up to 100,000 m3.
  • It consists of the main and reserve batteries, which are installed on a single foundation.
  • The gas-powder fire extinguishing system is located outside the boundary zone. Mobile fire extinguishing equipment is connected and extinguishing agents are supplied via a pipe system and nozzles for spraying the gas-powder extinguishing agent.
SEPARATE STORAGE OF COMPONENTS

Installation with separate powder hopper and cartridges with carbon dioxide cylinders. This installation is used to protect vertical steel tanks (VST) and vertical steel tanks with pontoon (VSTP) with a storage volume of 2,000 m3.
