The 28 April power outage in Spain, Portugal and the south of France revealed hidden vulnerabilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Power supply in hospitals is non-negotiable. During the last blackout, many operating theatres and critical units continued to operate thanks to emergency generators.<\/strong> However, some hospitals found that equipment such as lifts or support areas were not covered by the back-up system.

The blackout revealed which part of the hospital was really protected… and which wasn’t<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lifts out of service, emergency areas without auxiliary lighting, inoperative laboratories or stopped air-conditioning systems were some of the consequences in facilities that had not correctly dimensioned their energy infrastructure. In many cases, it was assumed that only the clinical areas needed back-up,<\/strong> leaving out vital support areas for the overall functioning of the hospital.<\/p>\n

Experience has prompted many technical directorates to review<\/strong> their fuel transfer systems,<\/strong> tank autonomy, and the actual scope of their emergency electrical installation. Because in a critical situation, every minute without power can make the difference between safety… or chaos.

Our transfer pressure units and preventive polishing systems ensure that the fuel stored in the tanks is always clean and ready to power emergency generators. In this way, we ensure an immediate and reliable supply in the event of a power failure.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At critical moments, back-up systems cannot fail. At Inpro we work to ensure that this does not happen.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At Inpro, we have been working for decades with fuel transfer systems<\/a> designed for healthcare facilities such as hospitals. Our booster sets, preventive filter systems and remote diesel level monitoring ensure that generators are always ready for action.<\/p>\n

In addition, we help you verify the actual scope of your emergency system and size it appropriately for future situations.
