When it comes to safety in the world of wood products, few things are as essential as dust management and fire protection.

Companies are seeking fire and explosion suppression technologies to minimize or eliminate expenses linked with production collateral damage, process equipment collateral damage, incident downtime costs, facility collateral costs, and human injury.

AIRPLUS Industrial is a leading and integrated provider in industrial dust control, ventilation, OEM fan applications, spark detection, fire and explosion suppression, and complete compressed air solutions including air dryers, air receivers, filters, and air piping systems. We are also a leading supplier of breathing air systems, industrial vacuum, abrasive blasting, clean air, and aftermarket parts and services.

The Firefly Water Mist Suppression System is a highly innovative, continuous-duty technology, with the ability to detect and extinguish fires within a process without halting production. The system also has the capability to detect hot black particles, which contain enough energy to start a fire. We have delivered three large Firefly projects to major mills across Western Canada and are in the process of delivering a fourth.

Conventional sprinkler or deluge systems offer effective overall protection for facilities, but they are unsuitable for highrisk locations or critical systems. In the time it takes a sprinkler system to activate, a fire has most likely already caused damage and spread throughout the facility. The Firefly Quick Suppression System is designed to respond within seconds to avoid or minimize property damage and production downtime losses, as well as preventing a fire from spreading and growing into other areas, to enhance workplace safety.

AIRPLUS Industrial is an authorized Service Center for Firefly systems. Please call us for your annual re-certifications.

SonicAire fans are used in major mills across Western Canada, including a recent delivery of 40 to one Alberta facility. The use of SonicAire fans is a major contributor to controlling combustible dust mitigation by driving dust down from high settling points, facilitating efficient housekeeping, and drastically reducing secondary explosion risks.

AIRPLUS, located in Langley, B.C., is a specialized company that works alongside leading manufacturers of dust and fire suppression technologies to meet the demands of the wood products sector in Western Canada.

Now, more than ever, Canadians are searching for sustainable heating options for their homes and businesses. With eco-friendly, carbon-neutral fuel options, biomass boilers are becoming increasingly popular.
