Egyptian Paints and Chemicals Leader - PACHIN protects its 40 acres of Industrial Investments at EL Obbour City with ISS's Foam System and Networked Intelligent Multiplexed Fire detection System

The Requirements: 
It was required to provide a total turnkey solution for an industrial fire detection and fire fighting system with the highest design codes and standards. Pachin, a leading paints manufacturing company in Egypt and the Middle East, was in the process of establishing a one of the biggest paints and chemical manufacturing facilities in the middles east (almost 40 acres). Understanding the hazards involved in this industry, Pachin officials new they had to render the assignment of design, supply, installation and testing to a trustworthy company with highly qualified techniques and knowledge basis. ISS was awarded the project when it introduced the latest technologies in the fields of fire detection and fire fighting. Systems Summary: 

Detection System: 
A total of four addressable analogue control panels connected to one PC Graphics package for handling about 1,000 analogue points, 13 Gas control panels, 55 advanced triple spectrum infra red flame sensors, 25 beam smoke detectors, 11 gas metering systems and 30 sprinklers interface units.

CCTV System: 
Integrating a CCTV system for visual alarm confirmation and foam system triggering for the Tank farm.

Foam System: 
A system comprising of eight bladder tanks 700 gallons each, eight ultra-wide foam proportioners providing a revolutionary solution for the 5,300 m2 finished product warehouse, 2 water-oscillating foam monitors for the tank farm area that are electrically- triggered via the fire detection system, 1 foam trolley and 6,000 gallons of AR-AFFF foam concentrate.

Water System: 
A main fire loop 8 Km length, 4,000 sprinkler heads and a fully monitored UL/FM fire pump 200 gpm @ 8 bar pressure.

Project Numbers:
ISS took the challenge of finishing the entire project from design, supply, erection and testing in six months, and has met it.
