Automatic fire suppression systems

Choose the system you are interested in

Water-based suppression

Automatic sprinklers for buildings and industrial premises.

Gaseous agents

No water, no residue: technical rooms, data centres, archives and sensitive equipment.

Kitchens

Hoods, filters, ducts and cooking equipment in professional kitchens.

Automatic suppression

Automatic protection that acts from the very first moments of a fire

Automatic fire suppression systems are designed to act quickly on a fire, applying the right extinguishing agent to the protected area and reducing the time needed to begin suppression.

At Sercoin we design, supply, install and maintain automatic suppression systems, adapting each solution to the type of risk, the characteristics of the space and the assets or premises that need protecting.

We work with different technologies and extinguishing agents to offer solutions both for general installations and for specific risks that require specially designed protection.

Whether you need to install a new system or inspect, maintain, extend or upgrade an existing installation, our team can help you throughout the whole process.

What is an automatic suppression system?

An automatic fire suppression system is an installation designed to act on a fire by discharging or applying an extinguishing agent, without relying exclusively on manual intervention.

These systems considerably reduce response time, which is especially important in spaces where a fire can spread quickly, where there is high-value equipment or assets, or where people may not be permanently present.

Depending on the installation, systems can use different suppression agents and technologies, such as water, gaseous agents, foam or other specific solutions.

Choosing the right system is essential. Not every extinguishing agent is appropriate for every risk, so it is necessary to first analyse what is being protected, what materials are present, what the space is like and what the consequences of a discharge would be.

At Sercoin we study these factors to design a solution adapted to each project.

Types of automatic suppression system

From a whole warehouse down to a single electrical panel. What decides which one you need is not the extinguishing agent itself, but what has to be protected and how far the discharge has to reach.

Covers the whole building

01

Water-based automatic suppression

Automatic water-based suppression systems are one of the most widely used solutions for protecting buildings and premises against certain fire risks.

This category includes different technologies, such as automatic sprinklers, designed to discharge water over the affected areas when certain operating conditions are reached.

These systems can be used in industrial, commercial and logistics facilities, car parks and other spaces, always depending on the specific characteristics and risks of the project.

Sercoin studies the needs of each installation to design and implement the most suitable water-based suppression system.

02

Automatic suppression with gaseous agents

Gaseous agent suppression systems make it possible to act on certain fires without using water and without generating the residue typical of other extinguishing agents.

Because of these characteristics they can be especially useful for protecting technical rooms, electrical installations, data processing centres, archives, electronic equipment or other spaces with sensitive assets, depending on the risk and the conditions of the installation.

Designing these systems requires carefully studying the protected enclosure, the risk involved, the agent used and the conditions needed to achieve effective, safe suppression.

At Sercoin we can advise you on the most suitable solution and take care of its installation and maintenance.

Hood, filters and ducts

03

Kitchen suppression systems

Professional kitchens present specific risks due to the presence of oils, fats, high temperatures and different cooking equipment.

Automatic kitchen suppression systems are designed to act directly on the highest-risk areas, such as hoods, filters, ducts and cooking equipment, using agents specifically selected for this type of application.

They are solutions specifically intended for the kitchens of restaurants, hotels, catering facilities and other establishments with professional kitchens.

Sercoin carries out the installation and maintenance of automatic kitchen suppression systems, adapting the system to the layout and equipment of each installation.

Only the protected equipment

04

Automatic suppression for special risks

Certain industrial or technical environments need systems designed specifically for the risk they present.

Machinery, electrical panels, technical rooms, warehouses, industrial processes or certain equipment may require localised protection and a specific suppression technology.

In these cases we study the characteristics of the risk to determine the most suitable agent, detection system, discharge method and configuration.

Design and installation of automatic suppression systems

An automatic suppression system must be designed specifically for the characteristics of the risk it is meant to protect. At Sercoin we can take care of the whole process:

  1. 01

    Study of the risk and the characteristics of the installation

  2. 02

    Advice on the most suitable suppression technology

  3. 03

    System design and sizing

  4. 04

    Selection of equipment and extinguishing agent

  5. 05

    Supply and installation

  6. 06

    Integration with detection and alarm systems where necessary

  7. 07

    Configuration and commissioning

  8. 08

    Testing and operational checks

  9. 09

    Compliance and documentation of the installation where applicable

  10. 10

    Upgrading and extension of existing systems

Maintenance of automatic suppression systems

Installing an automatic suppression system is only the first step. To guarantee that it can respond correctly when needed, it is essential to carry out the corresponding inspections and maintenance work.

At Sercoin we carry out periodic maintenance of automatic suppression systems, checking the condition and operation of the different elements that make up the installation. Among other tasks, we can carry out:

  • 01General system inspection.
  • 02Testing of the associated detection and activation systems.
  • 03Inspection of containers, valves, pipework and discharge components.
  • 04Checking the condition, quantity or pressure of the extinguishing agent where applicable.
  • 05Inspection of signage and alarm devices.
  • 06Periodic testing and checks.
  • 07Detection and resolution of faults.
  • 08Replacement of worn or obsolete components.
  • 09Upgrading or extension of existing installations.
  • 10Management of maintenance documentation.

This way, we help you keep the system properly inspected, operational and documented throughout its working life.

Renewal, compliance and upgrading of installations

Risks and installations change over time. An extension, a change of activity, new machinery or a modified space may make it necessary to review whether the existing suppression system is still adequate.

At Sercoin we can analyse existing installations, identify what needs updating and carry out the work required to upgrade them.

We also help you with the compliance and documentation of automatic suppression systems, as well as their maintenance and the certifications corresponding to the work carried out.

Our service lets you keep your installations ready for inspections, audits and insurance company requirements, with a specialised team you can rely on both for regular maintenance and for any changes to the installation.

Which automatic suppression system do you need?

There is no single solution valid for every fire. The choice between a water-based system, gaseous agents, kitchen solutions or other automatic suppression systems depends on the type of risk, the characteristics of the space and the elements that need protecting. That's why, at Sercoin, we begin every project by analysing the installation's needs in order to recommend a suitable solution.
