Toronto-based Control Fire Systems ltd. is the perfect solution for your Edmonton based clean agent refilling needs. Although located far from your industrial facility, we provide a fast, efficient, 100% compliant method of shipping empty and filled cylinders to and from your location.
How can Edmonton businesses refill clean agent cylinders if the provider is outside Alberta?
This process covers everything, not just refilling the cylinders themselves. By taking your cylinders into our facility directly, we can quickly and expertly move through the process of testing, re-charging, documenting, and re-certifying your clean agent tanks before sending them off back to you to get your suppression system fully back online in the quickest manner possible.
Instead of trying to bring large-scale filling and testing machinery to you, we work within the strict guidelines of Transport Canada to bring your product to us, where we can more easily provide clean agent filling and testing services in a centralized location.
Control Fire Systems ltd. obviously deals in FK-5-1-12, the most popular clean agent fire suppression system on the market, as well as other common agents like Novec 1230. With the heavy industry of Alberta, inert gases may be a particularly common suppression tool, and Control Fire Systems ltd. can also help refill and service these chemicals and cylinders.
These clean agents and inert gases are ideal for protecting large data infrastructures, equipment rooms, and electronic cabinets, rooms, and hubs.
In addition to filling your cylinders with the appropriate agent, we will provide full valve inspections of all cylinders (crucial for proper function), pressure verification, replacing any seals that have gone bad, provide you with full re-certification paperwork, and verify the weight and pressure of your fully functioning cylinder before shipping it back to Edmonton.
Your cylinder's manufacturer will provide you with an appropriate list of recharging schedules and testing for their product, and NFPA 2001 also provides a useful framework for routine refilling and testing.
Aside from these normally planned intervals, any discharge, whether accidental or part of a live fire, requires a full recharge and check of the system to maintain adequate performance. If a visual inspection notes lower-than-expected pressure or a critical failure point, your cylinder will also need servicing. Hydrostatic testing is an infrequent but necessary step in each cylinder's lifespan as well.
Transporting dangerous goods all the way across Canada from Edmonton to Toronto can seem like a daunting process. Transport Canada regulates all such movement of potentially dangerous goods, whether it be by road, rail, or water, and both your empty and fully charged clean agent cylinders are governed by these laws.
Our team is full of experts in this type of hazmat transportation. Proper documentation in the form of packing, labelling, and providing the correct paperwork are all steps in the process that are minutely taken care of.
When your cylinders are returned to you, every piece of documentation you will need to handle an audit or inspection will come with them. While necessarily complicated to ensure the safety of the roadway of Canada, going through the proper channels and behaviors keeps everybody safe and allows your product free transport to our facility.
Several industries in Edmonton take advantage of Control Fire Systems ltd.'s remote filling services. Many oil, gas, and industrial plants find it more convenient to send their clean agent cylinders to our facility in Toronto rather than trying to find local solutions that can meet the volume-needs of these large-scale operations.
Smaller facilities like warehouses, control rooms, manufacturing sites, and municipal structures also make use of the easy-to-use method of refilling suppression systems Control Fire Systems ltd. offers.
Our technicians are manufacturer-certified to meet the needs of your particular products, and provide every piece of documentation required by your AHJ to make sure you remain compliant in every facet of your suppression system. In complex industrial environments with multiple types of gas, cylinder, and hazard, this compliance-first approach is one of the highest priorities of our customers.
Large cylinder banks and major industrial facilities with regularly scheduled testing intervals will find Control Fire Systems ltd.'s remote refilling center more than capable of handling large jobs quickly.
Both empty and full cylinders fall under Transport Canada's jurisdiction, which governs all movement of such goods by road, rail, or sea.
