QuenchPod™ High-Risk Installation System

One central tank system. Every zone addressed on its own.

Remote Suppression. Rapid Deployment. Safer Firefighting.

“Get the extinguisher to the fire instead of bringing the firefighter to the fire.”

Concept-stage system architecture. Nothing shown here has been built, pressure-tested or certified. Component A and Component B are two separately stored suppressant components supplied by a certified formulation partner; no chemistry, mixing ratio, pressure or reaction parameter is published. Capacities, zone counts and node spacing are design intents to be fixed by a fire engineer against the protected risk.

The installation

A permanently or semi-permanently mounted tank set, installed like commercial fire-protection plant: two bulk component tanks in a bunded plinth, a mixing and foam-generation assembly and a manifold carrying one valved line per zone into the building.

How the system works

Component A Tank + Component B Tank → Controlled Activation → Mixing / Foam Generation Chamber → Distribution Manifold → Individually Controlled Fire Zones → Foam Discharge. Zone D is shown in alarm: it discharges alone while Zones A, B and C remain charged.

Labelled subsystems

  1. 01 · Bulk tank

    Component A Storage

    Vertical tank holding the first suppressant component, level- and condition-monitored, with fill and sampling points at ground level.

  2. 02 · Bulk tank

    Component B Storage

    Second tank holding the companion component. Same monitoring, separate containment bund, separate fill point.

  3. 03 · Normal operation

    Isolation System

    Double isolation keeps the two components physically apart at all times in standby. Nothing meets, nothing flows, until an authorised activation opens the path.

  4. 04 · Authorised release

    Activation Control

    The control cabinet accepts a verified command — from the detection interface or an authorised Clicker™ — and releases only the selected zone path.

  5. 05 · Metered contact

    Controlled Mixing Chamber

    The two components are brought together under controlled, metered flow. A steady fluid process, monitored end to end — no charge, no pyrotechnic, no shock event.

  6. 06 · Expansion

    Foam Generation Chamber

    The combined stream is aerated into a rapidly expanding fire-suppression foam, generated on demand at the volume the selected zone requires.

  7. 07 · Routing

    Distribution Manifold

    A single manifold carries one independently valved line per zone, so generated foam is routed only where it is needed.

  8. 08 · Selective discharge

    Zone Control

    Each zone valve is addressed individually. A fire in one zone discharges that zone; the rest of the site stays charged and protected.

  9. 09 · Discharge point

    QuenchPod Node™

    Fixed discharge nodes positioned across the property — over racking, plant, charging bays, transformer rooms, roof lines — piped back to the central tank system.

Two ways in, one authorisation

  • Fire Detection Interface

    Wired to the site's detection and alarm system. A confirmed detection in a zone identifies that zone to the control cabinet and raises it to alarm.

  • Remote Activation

    An authorised QuenchPod Clicker™ lets an operator standing at a safe distance select a single zone and release it with a deliberate two-stage action.

  • System Monitoring

    Continuous supervision of tank levels, isolation state, valve position, node integrity and every activation — time-stamped and reportable.

Protected zones

Each zone is a separately valved circuit with its own QuenchPod Nodes™. Selective release means a single incident never costs the whole site its protection.

  • Zone A

    Racking and bulk storage

    6 Nodes™

  • Zone B

    Production / plant floor

    5 Nodes™

  • Zone C

    EV and battery charging bay

    4 Nodes™

  • Zone D

    Switchroom and infrastructure

    3 Nodes™

Built for

  • · Warehousing and logistics
  • · Factories and process plant
  • · Data centres and switchrooms
  • · Multi-storey and underground parking
  • · Energy and transport infrastructure
  • · Wildfire-exposed properties and estates

One ecosystem, five formats

One principle across every format: get the agent to the fire, keep the person away from it, and never release more than the situation needs. The same activation logic, the same Clicker™, the same addressable Network™ — whether the agent arrives in a thrown capsule or through fixed pipework.

Portable QuenchPod

Hand-placed or thrown into an early-stage fire.

Installed self-contained QuenchPod

A single pre-mounted unit standing by over a fixed risk.

Drone-deployed QuenchPod

Carried and released where no one can safely stand.

QuenchPod Wild™

Terrain units placed ahead of a fire front.

High-Risk Installation System

Central twin-component tank system feeding zoned nodes across a whole property.
