Gas based suppression system
Fire gas system describes the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire. Gas systems would normally be initiated by an electrical fire system. These are commonly heat or smoke detection systems to initiate early detect and rapid release of the gas agents to extinguish the fire. The selection of the gas agent used will be dependent on the application, the level of risk and life safety factors. The various gases used are all environmentally safe.
Foam based suppression system
Fire suppression foam is comprised of three parts: Foam concentrate, Water, and Air. When mixed correctly, these parts form a homogeneous foam blanket that extinguishes flames by the combined mechanisms of cooling, control separating the flame source from the product surface, suppressing vapors, and smothering. This makes foam suppression systems an effective option for protecting flammable and combustible liquids.
