Mitigating fire whirl hazards in vertically extended spaces of process facilities through water mist suppression

Key Points

• Fire whirl hazards can be effectively mitigated by water mist suppression techniques, enhancing facility safety.
• Key evidence indicates that implementing these techniques can significantly reduce the risk of hazardous fire whirls in spaces.
• The observational analysis examines ventilation systems and the impact of water mist on fire whirl dynamics and effectiveness.
• Highlights the need for improved safety protocols in process facilities, particularly regarding fire management and suppression.
