VACTEC: Vacuum Sprinkler System
Safe, cost-effective, durable, clean
- VACTEC® operates and markets under licence the vacuum technology invented by its founder. VACTEC, with its partner FIREFLEX®, have enhanced this new integrated vacuum sprinkler fire protection concept. The system is certified by Factory Mutual Approvals <FM>.
- The vacuum technology resolves the problems of leaks, corrosion and frost; guarantees the required discharge density; and extends the service life of pipe interiors while improving the operational reliability and safety of the sprinkler fire protection systems.
- This technological innovation, compared to dry or wet systems, is more reliable, more durable, cleaner, and more cost-effective.
- Our team has 20 years of experience in advising on vacuum sprinkler system installations. Vactec can assist and advise you in the design or adaptation of a vacuum sprinkler system for your sprinkler fire protection, particularly in the context of thirty-year revisions, for minimum disruption to your networks, thereby extending the service life of your installation as well as improving safety while keeping your investments to a minimum.
- Services: Vactec and its approved distributors support their customers in the implementation of their Vacuum Sprinkler System installation projects, and their operation and maintenance.
- Training: Vactec is a certified “Training Body” and dispenses training modules for Installers, Users, Maintenance Technicians, Underwriters and Engineering Departments in France and around the world.
- R&D lab and scientific cooperation: Vactec has an R&D lab with a full-scale sprinkler system, mockups, and powerful simulation software. We also collaborate with higher-education training institutes and other laboratories.
- Please contact us for any questions on the vacuum system, staff training, construction/refurbishment projects, etc.: infos@vactecsprinkler.com.
The benefits
of our technology
Longer service life for pipes
by eliminating internal corrosion
Eliminating water leaks
thereby preventing damage to the protected assets (electrical rooms, agri-food zone, laboratories)
Possibility of converting wet/dry systems into vacuum systems
For regulatory compliance requirements (30-year revision), or on request, while retaining as much of the existing piping as possible.
Reduced costs
compared to dry or
glycolated water solutions
Sustainable development
with the possibility of using non-drinking water and no building heating
Eco-friendliness
thanks to the elimination of anticorrosion/antibacterial chemical products, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions
