Ports Fire Protection

ProDetec delivers engineered port fire protection solutions for Australia’s port authorities, terminal operators, stevedoring companies, and bulk materials handling facilities, all environments in which conveyor systems, fuel handling infrastructure, high-value machinery, and large volumes of combustible cargo create serious and complex fire risk across expansive, often difficult-to-monitor sites. 

A fire in a belt conveyor alone can spread rapidly to surrounding material stacks and, if not suppressed quickly, can result in weeks of lost production and significant asset damage.

Effective fire protection for ports requires early machine-level intervention, not just perimeter detection. ProDetec’s ports fire protection solutions draw on Firefly ConveyorGuard for belt, chain, and screw conveyor protection, open-area flame detection for quayside and loading zones, gas detection for LPG and fuel handling infrastructure, and static earthing systems for flammable liquid transfer operations.

With over 22 years of industrial safety experience and local engineering support across Australia, ProDetec designs, supplies, and commissions port fire protection solutions matched to each facility’s specific layout, cargo type, and operational risk profile.

FIRE PROTECTION OF CONVEYORS

A fire in a belt conveyor is often hard to extinguish and can spread very quickly. In worst case it can spread to surrounding material stacks and could last for weeks, causing major loss of revenue and production downtime.

The purpose of the Firefly ConveyorGuardTM-solution is to automatically detect and suppress a fire at an early stage and to stop the conveyor belt as quickly as possible. The Firefly ConveyorGuardTM-solution can be complemented with Firefly open area flame detectors and/or LTS cable
