How Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems Work
Oltec FM's water mist fire suppression systems are built to strict British standards (BS EN 14972), combating fire quickly while consuming up to 10% less water than traditional sprinkler systems, an efficient and eco friendly choice for demanding environments in Preston. Integrated fire detection ensures rapid activation the moment a fire starts. Three mechanisms drive suppression: damping fuel to prevent flames spreading further, cooling heat as fine water droplets evaporate and absorb energy from the fire, and displacing oxygen directly at the source to create steam and a localised inert atmosphere. Unlike traditional sprinklers, these systems minimise water damage, making them ideal for environments such as data centres and heritage buildings.
Water Mist Fire Suppression System Installation
Across Preston, Oltec Services installs water mist fire suppression systems tailored to the individual size, layout and combustible risk profile of each premises, delivering maximum protection with minimal operational disruption. Every installation is carried out in high risk locations to strict British standards (BS EN 14972), ensuring consistent reliability and performance. Tailored coverage reduces the number of sprinkler heads required, lowering complexity and future maintenance costs, while rapid activation contains fires before they can spread. Using up to 10% less water than traditional systems reduces reinstatement costs and downtime significantly, helping industrial facilities, heritage sites and commercial kitchens return to normal operations faster after any incident.
Water Mist Systems for High Risk Environments
A commercial water mist fire suppression system from Oltec Facilities Management is a versatile solution for industries and applications across Preston, reducing water use, minimising damage and quickly suppressing fires in high risk or sensitive environments. Manufacturing facilities, machinery spaces and generator rooms benefit from protection against high heat and flammable materials, while data centres, server rooms and offices gain fire protection with minimal water damage to sensitive equipment. Airports, hangars, tunnels and trains rely on rapid suppression to maintain operational continuity, and care homes, student accommodation and occupied premises prioritise safety and evacuation. Heritage sites and waste and recycling facilities also benefit, where quick suppression and minimal water usage are absolutely critical to protecting assets.
