How Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems Work
Engineered to British standards (BS EN 14972), our automatic water mist fire suppression systems combat fires efficiently while using up to 10% less water than conventional sprinklers, offering an eco friendly solution for high risk premises throughout South Shields, Tyne and Wear. Combined with fire detection systems, response times to even a small fire are rapid. Suppression works in three ways: damping solid fuel to stop fires spreading and limit surrounding damage, cooling heat as fine mist droplets evaporate and absorb radiant heat, and displacing oxygen at the source of the flame to create a localised inert environment. Oltec works with trusted manufacturers to deliver type tested systems, tailored precisely to your premises and risk profile.

Systems are fitted in high risk locations to deliver the most effective suppression possible, with installations fully compliant with British standards (BS EN 14972).
