Fire suppression in recycling and
waste management facilities

Equipment fires in landfill environments and waste management facilities are potentially hazardous to operators, valuable recycling machinery and nearby buildings.

Waste material is often flammable and even minor fires can ignite the large quantities of methane present around decomposing material. Waste debris can also fall into the engine bay and cause key components to fail or short-circuit. This not only places the vehicle operator at risk, but, in remote site locations, almost always results in the loss of the machinery.

Ardent specialises in the supply, installation and maintenance of responsive mobile suppression systems that can quickly tackle the fire and minimise the risk to personnel and critical machinery.
