Fire Suppression Systems
There are three main types of fire suppression systems:
-
Inert Gaseous Suppression Systems
-
Chemical Agent Extinguishing Systems
-
Watermist Suppression Systems
Inert suppression systems extinguish fires based on the principal of oxygen depletion – reducing below 15% is acceptable level for human exposure but insufficient to allow fire development. Chemical Agent Systems lower the temperature of the flame and fuel to a point at which the combustion process cannot be sustained. When systems operate effectively, they ensure that operations resume as quickly as possible and that both physical damage and financial losses are minimised.
All designs and installations are undertaken in accordance with the approved standard BS EN 15004 Part 1, BS 6266 & BS 7273.
