Fagus-GreCon's technology and service has convinced us once again. We have a robust solution that protects our operations. The ability to visualise the system remotely has also helped us to stay connected from our control room and monitor events in real time.

RiverRidge has made a significant investment in a fluidised bed dryer and a corresponding extraction system for processing refuse derived fuels. Finding a reliable fire protection solution to protect this investment was therefore of great interest to the company.

GreCon Limited's Managing Director Jonathan Hamill reported on the project:

"Over the summer of 2018, we worked with RiverRidge to determine the protection requirements. Working in partnership, we developed a comprehensive 16-zone fire protection solution to protect the fluidised bed dryer, filters and extraction system. This was followed by 3 weeks of installation work and commissioning of the system."

RiverRidge's Group Operations Manager Cecil McBurney explained:

"GreCon's technology and service has once again impressed us. We have a robust solution that protects our operations. The ability to visualise the system remotely has also helped us stay connected from our control room and monitor events in real time."

We asked RiverRidge to offer advice to companies facing similar difficulties, with the following response:

"Conduct a Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere Risk Assessment (DSEAR). Build a partnership with a reliable supplier like GreCon. Take the time to determine your needs and develop a robust fire protection strategy to protect your operation. And finally, don't wait until a fire breaks out!"
