Off-shore fire suppression applications include deluge, foam, and water wall systems where the nozzles are subject to extreme weather conditions and exposure to seawater. BETE N series nozzles are Factory Mutual a fire protection requirement for operation out of U.S. ports. These nozzles often replace older CO2-based systems on ships with a water system.
Common Uses and Industries
- Deluge, foam, and water wall systems where the nozzles are subject to extreme weather conditions and exposure to seawater.
- Protection of off-shore drilling platforms, wellheads, tanker vessels, and other marine environments
- Fire protection of ship decks, cargo, and tanker vessels
- Water wall protection for flare booms and escape routes

Important Factors to Consider When Selecting an Off-Shore Fire Nozzle:
Size & shape of target object or area
Applicable design specifications and requirements
Required protection type:
- Extinguish, containment, or cooling
- Required flow rates/coverage densities
- Allowable run-down
Potential wind drift
Nozzle material requirements
- BETE can manufacture nozzles in a wide range of materials suitable for off-shore and marine applications
Available nozzle mounting locations
Available pressure drop (∆P) across the nozzle
- ∆P = supply pressure at nozzle inlet – process pressure outside nozzle
As a nozzle manufacturer, BETE Fog Nozzle Inc. cannot assume responsibility for the design of life/safety systems
