Leading Field Technology
Overview
Clearwater Fire is the UK’s specialist provider of Dry Deluge Testing, offering a proven, non intrusive method for assessing deluge system condition without the drawbacks of wet testing. Using a controlled vapour rather than seawater, the process identifies blockages, partial blockages, and damaged nozzles while keeping systems completely dry.
Why Operators Choose Dry Testing
Repeated wet testing can introduce corrosion, salt deposits, marine growth, and water ingress, creating the very problems operators are trying to detect. Dry Deluge Testing avoids water related degradation, reduces disruption, and allows systems to remain live throughout, enabling faster turnaround, lower POB, and minimal operational impact.
How It Works
A vapour flows through the deluge network so technicians can observe spray patterns at each nozzle. Any anomaly indicates restriction or mechanical damage. The method requires minimal preparation, uses compact equipment suited to offshore environments, and allows multiple systems to be tested efficiently in one mobilisation.
