Viking's IBC Containment Unit is used to store single ignitable IBC's (Intermediate Bulk Containers) when located within manufacturing, process areas, small storage or similar environments. The unit is particularly useful when a limited number of IBC’s are introduced to an area where a fixed fire protection system is not in place or not able to effectively cover the additional risks involved with Class B liquids. Subject to AHJ acceptance, the unit also gives the option to utilize non-Listed/Approved IBC containers.
The IBC fire protection containment unit is intended to capture an ignitable liquid release within a footprint designed to limit the size of a potential pool fire. Limiting the size of the pool surface within the unit limits the heat release rate of the fire thereby limiting the expected damage within occupancy.
