We’re experienced at the full range of gaseous extinguishing systems for all different types of environment, and we can advise you on the best suppression system to meet your needs.

We offer the full range of inert gas suppression systems, which are an environmentally-friendly form of extinguishing. They use inert gases that are naturally occurring in the normal atmosphere we breathe. The systems work by introducing an inert gas to reduce oxygen to levels where a fire can’t be supported, while remaining at a safe level for people to breathe.

We install chemical gases such as FK-5-1-12 (commonly known as NOVEC 1230 which is a 3M brand name) which is ideal for small comms rooms or where space is at a premium. We also maintain systems such as HFC227ea (FM200), but due to F Gas regulations and restrictions, we find our clients are often looking for different solutions.

For new-build applications, inert gas systems are ideal because storage space can be allocated for the cylinders at the design stage. Also, if you’re protecting multiple areas, it’s possible to use diverter valves, so a single bank of cylinders can protect these areas. The cylinders can be stored in plant rooms or corridors to avoid them taking up expensive floor space in the data suite itself.

All inert gases work in the same way, but we can offer the full range to meet your requirements or match your existing systems. So, whether it’s Inergen (IG541) or an IG55 system such as Argonite or Pro-Inert, our manufacturer partnerships offer you of a wide choice of systems.

If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly option but don’t have the space for the cylinders needed for an inert gas, FK-5-1-12 (commonly known as NOVEC 1230 which is a 3M brand name) is perfect. This gas uses a similar cylinder footprint to FM200 but has a Global Warming Potential of 1 and a very short atmospheric life. FK-5-1-12 also has the benefit of being stored as a liquid and then converting to a gas at the nozzles. This makes refill after a discharge easy. FK-5-1-12 offers you the best of both worlds, and you can pick from a variety of systems including Sapphire.

As a true independent we can provide impartial advice and guide you on the best system to suit your needs and for the environment where it will be installed.

We carry out Room Integrity Testing in house for when new systems are installed and annually as part of the ongoing maintenance.
