What Our Customers Are Saying
“The remote-controlled monitors on elevated towers give us much better coverage than we could achieve with ground monitors, and they allow us to utilize better fire protection capability in operating units with fewer personnel.”
- Russell Lowe, Fire Chief and Safety Supervisor, CHS Refinery in Laurel, MT
The CHS Refinery uses the Akron Brass Genesis hydraulic monitors on 30-foot towers to protect pumps and other vital components.
“This is a great system that we can use to trap accidental releases in the HF unit and now allow them to spread outside the refinery. We have the potential to spray a fog pattern at 6,000 gpm or more to trap any leaks. That’s a lot of water.”
- Russell Lowe, Fire Chief and Safety Supervisor, CHS Refinery in Laurel, MT.
The CHS Refinery uses 7 Akron Brass Storm electronic monitors with 2,000 gpm nozzles.
