🔍 How Do Inert Gas Suppression Systems Work? 🔍 Inert gas suppression systems flood the protected area with gas, temporarily lowering the oxygen level to a point where combustion is no longer possible, but it's still safe for human occupancy. This makes them an ideal fire protection solution for sensitive environments. To prevent re-ignition, the enclosure is tested to ensure the gas mixture is retained for an additional 10 minutes after discharge.

"A fire in an energy storage system (EOS) with lithium-ion batteries is complex. It's a combination of different types of fire that also develops at lightning speed." According to Cor Meedendorp, time is therefore everything to prevent unsafe situations and (collateral) damage. He is CEO of FiFi4Marine, a company that develops automated extinguishing systems for EOS. Matter of seconds In recent years, Meedendorp and his colleagues have tested many lithium-ion batteries for thermal runaway, a chemical process in which the temperature of a battery cell suddenly rises rapidly. For example, due to a thermal, electrical or mechanical failure. "At first, you don't see anything. Then maybe a tiny bit of smoke. And then, within seconds of popping the cell, there is a degassing and an aggressive fire that spreads to other battery cells." Read the full article on the website of he Mutual Insurers Platform of the Dutch Association. https://lnkd.in/eXTyQebq Meedendorp recently spoke in the webinar 'Extinguishing fires in energy storage systems' of the Mutual Insurers Platform of the Dutch Association. Jetty Middelkoop, Hazardous Substances Advisor at the Amsterdam-Amstelland Fire Department, was also present. She shared her experience with a fire in the energy storage system of a brand new river cruiser.

⚠ NV Energy would like to remind its #NorthernNevada customers that flash flooding and mud slides may cause underground gas pipes and electrical conduit to become exposed or undermined, which can be a safety risk. ⚠ Exposed or undermined pipe and conduit may be more easily damaged by rocks, debris, and other external forces. If you see exposed or undermined pipes, please contact NV Energy immediately at 775-834-4100 to help determine the appropriate response, inspection, or repairs to the facilities. If you detect a natural gas smell (rotten eggs), evacuate the area immediately and call 911 and NV Energy at 775-834-4100. Learn more about gas safety at: https://lnkd.in/eyySNkh

With power still out for still over 250,000 people in Houston, many have turned to using generators. See the attached article for safety tips on how to properly use generators for power. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas which is deadly. CenterPoint is saying that some areas will not have power until this coming Friday. Stay safe. #safetyfirst #hurricaneberyl #centerpoint #generatorsafety #power #stormrecovery https://lnkd.in/gdkDVUC7

Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFB) have many advantages. The multiple oxidation states of vanadium simplify the design of VRFBs as both the cathode and anode use the same material. VRFBs have minimal electrolyte degradation and can maintain efficiency for up to 20 years or perhaps even more. VRFBs are also easily scalable to a project's requirements. But perhaps one of the most important aspects of VRFBs lies with the safety advantage. The risk of fire is minimal with VRFBs and the use of vanadium batteries will minimize the risk to communities, the environment, and to the battery operator. The risk of fire is significantly elevated with other battery technologies as shown in the situation noted below. VRFBs are the superior technology for long duration energy storage for a variety of reasons but not the least of which is safety.

Oof…. Reports do not say what kind of li-ion 🔋…. Or condition of driver. There were major traffic backups. Before naysayers run off with “batteries = dangerous”… yes they are energy devices….. which means they can and sometimes will catch on 🔥 as will all sources of energy. For comparison here is a list of oil/gas production accidents in the U.S. https://lnkd.in/ggMB_Ngs https://lnkd.in/g2aCX4su
