A fire protection system for Steam turbines
Steam turbine generators are critical equipment for industrial processes and power generation. Over time, the industry has become more aware of the fire hazards related to them – for example, failures in lube oil piping or turbine bearings.
Steam turbine fires and unexpected outages carry immense costs. Without a steam turbine fire protection system in place, typical damage may incur a large percentage of unit cost, even before calculating the damage to nearby auxiliary equipment. This increased awareness has led to more widespread acknowledgement of the need for additional fire protection systems for steam turbines.
Water Mist: The small, high-pressure droplets produced by HI-FOG vaporize and extract heat rapidly from flames – effective for extinguishing spray fires.
Easy-to-install sprinkler system
The Marioff HI-FOG® water mist system is an FM Approved fire protection system for steam turbine fire protection, offering unparalleled performance and significantly less water usage compared with traditional technologies.
Using less water translates into savings when building the fire water reservoir and organizing fire water drainage. Because the HI-FOG system only uses pure water as an extinguishing agent, it is a safe technology for both personnel and equipment.

In addition to steam turbine protection, a HI-FOG pump unit can be used to protect related spaces against several other hazards simultaneously. The use of a well-designed, active fire protection system for steam turbines can prevent the catastrophic costs caused by fires and unexpected outages, ensuring peace of mind and business continuity.
An industrial fire protection system
The HI-FOG system has been designed to protect both equipment and personnel without hindering operational processes or harming the environment. The solutions we provide for industrial customers vary based on the fire protection need, the actual fire hazard and configuration of the site.
Fire protection for Power Generation
HI-FOG high pressure water mist is an ideal fire protection solution for power generation applications, as it can be activated immediately the moment a fire is detected while being entirely safe for people.
Types of Marioff HI-FOG water mist systems
A HI-FOG water mist system can protect complex spaces on factories. For example, you can cover the office spaces with a HI-FOG wet pipe system, use the HI-FOG pre-action system for the computer server room, and use a HI-FOG deluge system to protect the back-up generators.
