Scenario 01 / Thermal Event

Thermal Runaway in Lithium Storage Bay

A single cell failure in a 2,400-module battery rack initiates cascading thermal propagation. Conventional water suppression accelerates the reaction. Standard sprinkler heads activate 47 seconds too late.

Engineered Response

Clean Agent Suppression + Thermal Detection Matrix

Multi-zone FM-200 or Novec 1230 deployment triggered by infrared thermal imaging at 62°C threshold — 22 seconds before runaway escalates. Zero water contact. Zero residue. Facility re-entry in under 4 hours.

Scenario 02 / Vapor Ignition

Vapor Cloud Formation at Loading Rack

Hydrocarbon vapor accumulation at a crude oil loading rack reaches LEL in 90 seconds during a transfer pump seal failure. A single static discharge ignites a VCE capable of overpressure damage across 400 meters.

Foam Deluge System with Vapor Suppression Blanket

Pre-piped AFFF 3% foam deluge activates within 6 seconds of flammable gas detection, blanketing the spill surface with a 25mm foam layer that cuts off oxygen and halts vapor generation. Flow rate engineered to NFPA 11 Chapter 5 specifications.
