Performance Testing of Eco-Gel Fire Suppressant

安大略省纳帕尼的SLC应用研究和FireRein公司获得了自然科学和工程研究理事会(NSERC)颁发的奖项，以调查一种用于灭火的专有凝胶添加剂的性能。 FireRein开发了一种FDA批准的专有生态凝胶，可以添加到世界各地消防部门常见的抽水车中，以快速扑灭火灾。该公司将与圣劳伦斯学院的应用研究、土木工程和电气工程系合作，测试FireRein产品，并将其与消防部门目前使用的竞争对手的产品进行比较。这些性能测试的目的将是了解FireRein的产品与市场上其他领先产品之间的性能差异，以确定每种产品扑灭火灾的速度。 虽然泡沫添加剂已被消防部门普遍使用，但目前还没有对环境安全的添加剂。FireRein的凝胶添加剂产品已被食品和药物管理局(FDA)批准为对环境安全，这意味着使用凝胶后的清理将更容易，并将减少对环境的影响。 有关SLC应用研究和本项目的更多信息，请联系： 伊恩·迪克 业界联络 613-544-5400转1451 邮箱：idick@sl.on.ca

SLC Applied Research and FireRein of Napanee,Ontario, have received an award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) to investigate the performance of a proprietary gel additive for fire suppressant. FireRein has developed a proprietary FDA approved eco gel that can be added into the water pumping trucks that are common to firefighting departments worldwide to quickly suppress fires. The company, working with Applied Research, Civil and Electrical engineering departments at St. Lawrence College, will be testing the FireRein product and comparing it to competitor's products currently being used by fire departments. The purpose of these performance tests will be to understand the performance difference between FireRein's product and the other leading products in the market to determine how quickly each product extinguishes a fire. Although foam additives have been commonly used by fire departments, there are no current additives that are environmentally safe. FireRein's gel additive product has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as safe for the environment meaning the clean up after using the gel will be easier, and the environmental impact will be reduced.
