Obsolete Fire Extinguishing Agents

Under European Regulation there are a number of obsolete fire extinguishing agents that cannot be refilled. These agents include Halon, NAF SIII and PFC's. The majority of industrial and commercial users must comply with the legislation (critical use is largely restricted to military and aviation applications). The movement and disposal is strictly controlled and only suitably qualified engineers must undertake the removal and specialist care must be taken in the transportation and processing.

Firepro Systems Ltd has the experience and expertise to remove any of the absolete agents and to process it.

Carbon Dioxide

This is a cost effective extinguishing agent used for a variety of total flood applications that are normally occupied. Carbon Dioxide is stores as a liquefied gas at 58 bar.

Carbon Dioxide may be used in the local application of fire extinguishants used as a means for protecting machinery, printing presses and similar equipment within open spaces that are normally occupied.

Carbon Dioxide is a colourless, odourless, dry, inert gas and is one of the most familiar of all gases. After extinguishing a fire it vaporises fully leaving no residue. It is non-corrosive, non-conductive and can be used on energised electrical equipment. Fire is extinguished by reducing the oxygen level below that required for combustion. Cooling is a secondary action of the agent which is used more with local application systemswhere the agent is applied directly to the fire and materials.

Firepro Systems Ltd can provide a complete extinguishing solutions for total flood and local application Carbon Dioxide Systems.
