Fire Suppression

There are many different types of suppression systems available including:

• Argonite gas suppression systems, FM200,
  IGO1 Systems.
• Inert gas - no mixing, no agent breakdown, low cost refills and a genuine green alternative.
• CO2 - suitable for switch rooms, electrical equipment, flammable liquids and foam materials.
• Water mist - for low installation and maintenance cost. Can be used to extinguish flammable liquids, paper, plastics and other class A solid fuels.
• Restaurant fire suppression systems for kitchens

The most common installation we undertake is the argonite suppression system. To give you an overview of the type of information we give you on a free consultation please read below:

Until the early 1990’s Halon 1301 was the most widely used and effective extinguishing agent for fire protection – especially in occupied areas. However ozone depletion and global warming have changed this view. European Legislation and global agreement require that all Halon products be removed from service by the end of December 2003.

The Argonite system has been developed as a viable but environmentally friendly alternative to Halon1301. Tested and approved by regulatory bodies throughout the world, Argonite is effective against fires in almost all combustible materials and flammable liquids and is particularly suitable for use in areas where the use of water, foam or powder would be unacceptable.

Benefits of the Argonite System:

• Fast acting and effective against nearly all fire hazards
• Environmentally neutral – zero ODP, zero GWP
• Low installation and maintenance costs
• No post-fire residues or damage to protected equipment
• Electrically non-conductive
• Safe for occupied areas
• Can be integrated with existing detection and alarm systems
• Automatic or manual release
• Total flooding or modular design
• Minimum downtime after a fire

Applications:

Argonite systems are ideally suited to the protection of fixed equipment and plant. They are particularly applicable for high value risks where fires can have devastating consequences way beyond the cost of damage and lost production.

Applications include:

• Computer suites
• Telecommunications facilities
• Archive stores
• Petrochemical plants
• Offshore oil and gas installations
• Gas turbines
• Control centres

Approvals:

Argonite has been approved and/or verified by major international authorities and classification bodies. These include the NFPA, DNV, Lloyds Register, Bureau Veritas, The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), CNPP and the Environment Protection Agency.
