Fire protection for biogas plants

Sindal Biogas produces green energy that can heat approximately 13.000 households annually. They have a strong focus on sustainability. Inergen® was therefore an obvious choice when they needed to choose a new fire extinguishing solution for their technical room.

When Sindal Biogas expanded and built a new technical building in 2020, they chose an Inergen  extinguishing system from Fire Eater to protect the sensitive equipment in both the existing technical room and the new one. The technical building is the heart of a biogas plant, which controls all the processes in the complex path from agricultural and industry waste to valuable biogas and digested fertilizer, and more. Biogas plants are an important piece of the green transition, and it was important for Sindal Biogas to choose a solution that was environmentally neutral without any use of harmful chemicals with PFAS.

An efficient and reliable system

In a technical room with switchboards, junction boxes, servers, etc., there is an increased risk of fire, and a potential fire there could mean a long period of production downtime. Sindal Biogas chose to install an automatic extinguishing system in both the existing server room and the new one. In the old technical room, they chose to use the existing detection system with conventional smoke detectors, while in the new technical room, they chose an aspiration system, which ensures early and effective detection.

A sustainable choice

The existing technical room is not so large, so it was protected with 2 pieces of 80 Bar/300L Inergen pressure cylinders, while the new technical room is larger, so it required 5 pieces of 80/300 pressure cylinders. The number of pressure cylinders in an Inergen extinguishing system depends on the volume of the protected room.

Operational stability and positive impact on the relationship with the insurance company

Sindal Biogas has been satisfied with the choice of Fire Eater as a supplier, and the installation process has gone smoothly. The fact that the extinguishing agent in Fire Eater’s solution is environmentally neutral also provides peace of mind in terms of the choice, and since the company has minimized the risk and ensured operational stability, it has also had an impact on the relationship with the insurance company.
