Hochiki Protects UK's New Blood Processing Centre

A reputation for reliability and flexibility led to Hochiki Europe fire detection equipment being selected to safeguard the UK's National Blood Service's new Filton Blood Centre near Bristol.

The £60 million purpose-built, two-storey facility, which opened on 8th July, is expected to process 600,000 units of blood each year. 

The National Blood Processing Centre, Bristol, UK.
It is the largest blood processing centre in the world and home to the University of Bristol's MSc in Transfusion and Transplantation Sciences.  In addition to training facilities, the new building also houses administrative offices, laboratories, clean rooms and blood product manufacturing areas.

A total of 891 Hochiki ESP - Enhanced System Protocol - open-protocol devices were installed by Bristol-based MAT Fire Systems Ltd.  They include: 615 optical smoke sensors that incorporate Hochiki's unique Flat Response Technology; 94 analogue addressable, loop-powered beacons that utilise the latest high-intensity LED technology; and 79 manual call points.  The Hochiki solution also comprised 75 Input/Output modules for monitoring and controlling ancillary equipment from the loop.
