FIREMIKS installation at Finnish recycling plant
A Firemiks firefighting system has been installed at the Lamor Oy chemical and plastic recycling plant in Kilpilahti, Porvoo, Finland.
Firemiks AB announced that the site has been equipped with a FIREMIKS 6000-3-PP-F-ALU-DRV water-driven volumetric pump proportioner to support fire protection operations.
The facility is described as the first plant of its kind in Finland.
The system has been installed within a dedicated container at the site.
It provides a maximum flow capacity of 6,000 litres per minute and delivers a precise three percent dosing of fluorine-free foam concentrate.
Testing setup and project delivery
According to Firemiks AB, the installation also includes a Dosing Return Valve (DRV) and a complete Dosing Rate Test System with two independent flow meters.
This arrangement allows operators to carry out regular system testing without consuming foam concentrate.
It also removes the need to clean up dispersed foam after tests.
Firemiks said the configuration supports straightforward system verification and reduces operating costs and environmental impact over the lifetime of the installation.
The project was delivered in collaboration with Oy Veljekset Kulmala Ab, FIREMIKS’s sole distributor in Finland.
