Modern fire protection of waste bunkers with remote-controlled FireDos monitors

FireDos M2 Fire Monitors Protect Waste Incineration Plant in Macau

Located in Taipa’s Pac On area, the Macau Waste Incineration Plant has been a cornerstone of sustainable waste management in the region since its inception in 1992. Initially equipped with three incinerators, each capable of processing 288 tonnes of solid waste per day, the facility underwent its first capacity expansion in 2008. Now, with the completion of the third construction phase at the end of August 2024, the plant has boosted its capacity by an additional 1,300 tonnes per day, significantly enhancing its waste treatment capabilities. A standout feature of the facility is its ability to efficiently convert the thermal energy generated during the incineration process into electricity, further advancing the city’s goals for sustainable development and energy efficiency.

Challenges During Fire Extinguishing Technology Installation

During the commissioning of the four remote-controlled fire monitors, challenges arose when the customer required on-site service besides the online commissioning training. Ensuring seamless communication and support across different locations was critical for project success. In addition, FireDos was ahead of its delivery schedule to ensure the project ran smoothly.

Technical Details and Implementation of the Fire Protection Solution

  • FireDos firefighting monitors:

Four electrically controlled M2 Monitors have been mounted, each fire monitor has a maximum water flow rate of up to 2,500 l/min. They are operated via radio remote control, ensuring simultaneous, precise and efficient operation. The multi-purpose nozzles (MPN) allow the discharge of water at a low expansion rate, with stepless adjustment between hollow jet and spray jet modes for optimal flexibility.

  • Strategic placement of fire monitors for optimal coverage in the waste bunker:

Two electric fire monitors were installed on each side of the garbage pit (+23.00 m), ensuring full coverage. The water jets of the monitors can simultaneously reach any part of the garbage pit, enabling efficient fire suppression.

  • Advanced control system for maximum efficiency and safety of the fire monitors

The centralized control system manages the fire monitors, electric valves, and water supply pumps, further enhancing operational reliability and safety. The centralized control cabinet controls the four firefighting monitors from FireDos.

All fire monitors and the control panels are FM-approved and ATEX-certified, providing explosion-proof functionality to meet stringent safety standards. Explosion protection is vital in waste incineration plants due to the risk of flammable gases and dust generated during the incineration process.

Ensuring Success: Effective communication, high-quality training and reliable support

FireDos delivered a professional six-hour online commissioning training for Shanghai Vision’s technical specialists. The training provided the team with sufficient knowledge and enabled them to be fully prepared for the successful completion of the on-site commissioning. FireDos remained online during the two days of commissioning, providing real-time troubleshooting and expert guidance to ensure a smooth process. Close coordination with the local project partner Shanghai Vision contributed to the successful handling of on-site challenges.

Conclusion: FireDos Sets Standards in Fire Protection Solutions for Critical Infrastructure

The Macau Waste Incineration Plant’s Phase III expansion highlights FireDos’ commitment to delivering reliable, innovative fire protection solutions. Through seamless collaboration and technical expertise, FireDos has set a benchmark for excellence in safeguarding critical infrastructure, delivering a solution that left both the distribution partner and the Chinese customer highly satisfied.
