Industrial facilities involve different types of industrial processes. These processes differ based on the characteristics of the row materials and finished products and the nature of the processes themselves. Handling and storage of row materials or final products is one of the challenges when it comes to the fire protection of industrial facilities. Another challenge is explosions due to formation of combustible ducts or hybrid mixtures. A good risk assessment for the facility will lead to the proper selection of fixed active fire suppression and alarm systems. Industrial facilities are commonly protected with sprinkler system, standpipes and fire extinguishers as well as fire alarm system. The existence of special hazards may lead the use of low or high expansion foam systems. Compressed air foam system may play a role also when it comes to small rooms or equipment associated with spill fires.
