SmartMist delivered a specialist waste recycling fire suppression solution for AB Waste, combining advanced video flame detection with an automatic water mist fire suppression system. Designed for high-risk waste processing environments, the system provides continuous monitoring and rapid response when fire is detected, helping to suppress flames before they can spread. A 30,000-litre water tank with specialist fire additive provides a dedicated on-site supply, strengthening fire protection across AB Waste’s facilities and reducing risk to staff, equipment and operations.

AB Waste, a privately held waste and recycling company, operates two sites in Nottinghamshire, handling over 100,000 tonnes of waste annually. The company's waste processing facilities presented a significant fire risk, prompting them to seek enhanced fire protection measures.

SmartMist stepped in to address AB Waste's fire safety concerns by installing a sophisticated video flame detection system and a comprehensive mist suppression system. The video flame detection system continuously monitors the waste processing areas, utilising advanced imaging technology to detect even the faintest signs of fire. Upon detecting a fire, the system automatically triggers the mist suppression system, delivering a deluge of fine water droplets to effectively extinguish the flames. Additionally, SmartMist installed a 30,000-litre water tank on-site, which included a special fire additive to provide the water in the event of activation.
