General information
- Short Summary
-
UK company is a leading British manufacturer of advanced ultrasonic and acoustic systems used to protect safety-critical infrastructures. They provide solutions for critical industries, ensuring the reliability of gaseous fire suppression systems through accurate and efficient monitoring of liquid levels, pressure, and leaks.
The UK manufacturer is seeking commercial agreements with distribution partners in Germany, France and Spain. - Full Description
-
This UK company, established in 1987, has been at the forefront of research, design and the manufacturing of advanced ultrasonic instrumentation and systems for protecting safety-critical infrastructures.
The company is a high-exporting British manufacturer of ultrasonic and acoustic systems and instrumentation, specialising in non-invasive monitoring. Their products include systems for measuring fluid levels, airtightness, flow, material thickness, and pressure, with a focus on fire suppression systems. They provide solutions for critical industries, ensuring the reliability of gaseous fire suppression systems through accurate and efficient monitoring of liquid levels, pressure, and leaks. Gaseous fire suppression systems are crucial for protecting assets in sectors like marine, defence, and power generation. Over time, these systems can develop leaks, compromising their effectiveness during emergencies. With high stakes and narrow safety margins, regular maintenance is essential yet often overlooked as a cost rather than an investment.
Their technologies are used across 25 diverse market sectors from shipping and safety engineering to offshore energy, renewables, and the built environment. They are typically used for systems that rely on agents such as: CO2, FM200™, NOVEC™ 1230, old Halon agents, FE-13™, FE-25™, NAF S III™ and Clean Agent systems.
Currently operating in 120 countries with distributors in 80 countries, the company is now seeking partners in Germany, Spain, and France to introduce new level instrumentation, with exclusive distribution opportunities in the fire safety engineering market. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company designs, manufactures and certifies scientific instruments capable of monitoring the environment with exceptional accuracy and reliability. Their new product offerings are two liquid level indicators for monitoring the contents in liquefied fire suppression systems
For facilities looking for a cost-effective yet highly precise solution, one of the new liquid level indicators offers:
A streamlined procedure with clear GAS/LIQUID indication, enabling faster operation and reduced testing time.
Extended battery life, allowing up to 24 hours of continuous use with standard AAA batteries. This is an increase on the 10 hours of continuous use, on other Portalevel® units.
An improved rectangular sensor for greater accuracy and measurement efficiency. The new rectangular sensor improves both accuracy and measurement efficiency, enabling more reliable detection of the liquid level. Its shape more optimally transmits the ultrasound circumferentially around the fire suppression cylinders, leading to clearer signal differentiation between liquid and gas compared to existing designs.
Advanced signal processing with new algorithms for clearer differentiation between gas and liquid in fire suppression systems.
Precision measurement with accuracy down to ±1mm of the true liquid level.
For those seeking analytical precision and enhanced troubleshooting capabilities, their advanced solution sets a new benchmark, it is ideal for analytical level measurement with precise identification:
Real-time oscilloscope-like display of the ultrasound signal, providing visual feedback of the signal.
Improved precision as user is given information to ensure they have selected a good sensor position on the cylinder.
For more unusual cylinders, or challenging cylinders, the signal viewer helps the user to troubleshoot and find the level.
Designed for larger cylinders up to 700MM in diameter. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The UK company is seeking partners who already supply fire safety systems and equipment — ideally those with experience in gaseous fire suppression systems.
The ideal partner will have established relationships and contracts with fire safety consultants, facilities management companies or critical infrastructure operators in their region. They must possess a technical understanding of fire suppression systems, the practicalities of fire risk management in protected environments, and the application of ultrasonic liquid level monitoring.
Additionally, partners should demonstrate commercial expertise in how to effectively promote, sell, and support the instruments, and maintain strong credibility within the fire safety industry. Partners must be able to commit to the purchase of demonstration unit, and an annual purchasing minimum, to be mutually agreed upon. - Type and Size of Partner
