Sparking Your Interest in Gasoline Station Fire Protection.
Modern automobile fueling areas are designed with high-speed self-service pumps, enabling customers to fuel their vehicles faster than ever before. However, the same modern equipment that makes fueling quick and easy also makes the fueling area more susceptible to fire.
Accidents do happen. Customers might drive away without returning the nozzle to the dispenser or use the dispensing equipment incorrectly resulting in a fuel spill. Modern high volume pumps can discharge a large quantity of flammable liquid onto the fueling area very quickly. Burning cigarettes, running engines, sparks and other heat sources could ignite flammable liquids or vapors in the fueling area.
Even in Windy Conditions, the PYRO-CHEM ATTENDANT™ II System is Designed to Reach the Fire Source. Outdoor fire suppression systems face a unique problem – overcoming the effects of windy conditions.
Wind increases the intensity of a fire by feeding it oxygen. It also affects the firefighting agent discharge. Since National Weather Bureau statistics indicate that the average outdoor wind condition is nearly 10 miles per hour, wind is definitely a factor to consider when installing any outdoor fire suppression system. The PYRO-CHEM ATTENDANT II system has been specifically designed and tested for windy conditions.
Invisible to Your Customers
The PYRO-CHEM ATTENDANT II canopy gasoline station system is designed with function and form in mind. Cylinders are installed on top of the canopy to create a clean, finished look in the customer area. Flexible nozzle heights ranging from 7 feet to 15 feet 7 inches allow for versatility when customizing the system for your specific need.
Providing Fuel Without the Fire.
The PYRO-CHEM ATTENDANT II canopy gasoline station system was designed specifically for the unique hazards found at an outdoor fueling area. The PYRO-CHEM ATTENDANT II system quickly suppresses the fire providing optional fuel shut-off capabilities. A select network of authorized PYRO-CHEM distributors is trained in the design, installation and maintenance of the PYRO-CHEM ATTENDANT II system. Components used in the system have been designed for reliability, durability and performance.
