Water Mist Fire Suppression

open access: yes, 2011
A super-fine water mist system for fire suppression at the CO2 compressor train at Yara Belle Plaine has been designed, in compliance with NFPA 750, ASME B31.3 and Yara Best Practice procedures. The system targets specific suppression zones to efficiently suppress a fire while minimizing equipment damage.

Classification of Fog Life‐Cycle Phases Using Ground‐Based and Satellite‐Based Observations

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this study, the life‐cycle phases of radiation fog events—formation, maturity, and dissipation—are automatically classified at a ground station in Southwest Germany based on visibility trends and thresholds. We demonstrate that visibility detects radiation fog phases effectively, while its combination with ceilometer data can detect the life‐cycle ...
