Fire Booster Sets

The Challenge

Wilton Waste Recycling required a system with sustained volume and pressure for a specified period. This was needed to provide adequate fire damage mitigation at their Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) factory which handles waste recycling separation.

With a limited water supply at the location, Campion proposed to:

Utilise rainwater harvesting to minimise costs associated with treated potable water.
Store harvested firewater on-site.
Design two dual pump fire booster sets.
Calculate flow and head requirements based on information available to meet fire officer requirements.
Manufacture off-site to utilise parallel paths and reduce project milestones.
Utilise Campion Connect’s SCADA system for 24hr monitoring, linking with BMS and NOC centre. Campion Connect technology monitors 50 inputs on each booster set, meaning there’s a significant reduction in the risk of pump failure.
Design heat sync and ventilation for extended run periods in mobilisation.

The Solution

The utilisation of rainwater harvesting provided a significant reduction in the cost of providing an alternative, stable, water source. By designing the system to have two points for fighting fire ꟷ plus 24hr monitoring of key parameters ꟷ Campion reduced the risk of failure and allowed Wilton Waste Recycling to meet the requirements of the fire officer and other stakeholders.

Off-site manufacturing also reduced the overall project cost and increased efficiencies with carbon omissions, aligning with customer environmental goals in turn. This was achieved by:

Using Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) on jockey pumps to provide an energy-efficient system.
Reducing associated carbon with a steel container versus building a concrete structure on-site.
Using insulation to maintain heat during winter/frosty conditions. We also fitted stats in heaters to monitor frost conditions and trace heating on critical pipes.
Implementing automated louvres that reduce heat requirements during winter months.

The Outcome

The fire booster sets were delivered to the site and commissioned on time. The sets also passed on-site testing and Campion completed the project within budget. The complex design of this project exceeded customer and official fire officer specifications, providing an engineered solution to a potentially operational halting issue. To date, the solution has had a zero fail to start when required.
