GASEOUS FIRE EXTINGUISHING
Among all the different fire-suppressing methods available in this industry, gaseous fire extinguishing agents are one of the most popular options. Here at MEP Fire, we provide you with a multitude of solutions that help clients from many sectors in the event of a fire.
Without gaseous systems available for businesses and homes around the UK, the inevitability of fires causing damage to not just your appliances but also your friends, family, and staff can be fatal.
Fire protection should not be overlooked, especially if you have many flammable appliances in your area. Whether you know anything about it or have caused a fire by accident, stay protected with our gas suppression systems today!
What is a Gaseous Fire Extinguishing System?
A gaseous fire extinguishing system can be determined in one of two ways: The first is a system that reduces the oxygen level of the fire using its oxygen displacement features, and the second is a system that removes the heat from the fire. Both of these methods involve either using naturally occurring inert gases or clean agent fire suppression to deteriorate the flame.
You can find automatic fire suppression systems on our website that release chemical extinguishing agents and inert gases into the atmosphere as soon as a fire is detected. If you extinguish a fire, you should not need human intervention, and here at MEP Fire, our main goal is to protect as many lives as we can via our automated fire extinguishing systems.
Our gaseous fire extinguishers have the sole purpose of attacking the elements of the fire triangle to ensure that the fire is shut down as quickly as possible. If you invest in a system that reduces the oxygen level of the room, our systems here at MEP Fire are designed to maintain an oxygen level that is safe for humans when vacating the building.
At MEP Fire, our team of specialists has been researching this topic for years and will only provide our customers with the highest quality gaseous fire extinguishing systems because we understand the health consequences and global warming potential that can occur without only the best being installed.
What Are the Different Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems You Can Invest in?
Our wide selection of gaseous fire suppression system techniques, we understand that all scenarios will need specific treatment. Boasting a vast array of products gives us a chance to communicate with our customers to see what will work best for them.
Understanding that this is not a one-size-fits-all solution is what we preach, and running through the different detection systems to choose from so that you can make an informed decision for your home or business today is necessary.
CO2 Fire Suppression Systems
The carbon dioxide fire suppression systems in our range can be fitted to the perfect size and implemented in homes, offices, and many more domestic and commercial properties. With its quick nature to smother the oxygen level of the fire, our CO2 systems have stood the test of time and is becoming one of the most popular fire suppression systems on the market.
This has the specialty of protecting homes and electronic equipment while also having the capability of swarming open areas with carbon dioxide to shut down fire ignition within an instant.
Chemical Gas Fire Suppression Systems
Chemical gas suppression systems use a stealthy and colourless chemical agent that will attack the physical elements of a fire rather than reduce the oxygen level. This means that if you install this system on your premises, these automatic chemical gas fire suppression systems will begin extracting the heat from the fire.
If you have heavy-duty electrical equipment or a business with irreplaceable assets, these fire protection systems will work quickly to mitigate the flames, ensuring that nothing gets damaged.
Inert Gas Fire Suppression Systems
Our Inert gas fire suppression systems work by reducing the oxygen level to around 12% (safe for human evacuation). Perfect for electrical fires, you can expect this model to automatically detect an onslaught of flames and begin the process of extinguishing them immediately.
Typically, with other systems, a lot of gas will be released into the atmosphere, which is completely unsafe for humans, but with our regulation pressure valves, there will be no point of concern for our customers with this when releasing Novec 1230, Inergen or Argonite.
Do You Need Anything Else to Partner With Your Gaseous Fire Extinguishing System?
The systems designed by MEP Fire are all extremely durable, trustworthy and truly life-saving systems that you will not regret implementing into your health and safety regulations. However, to ensure that everything is running smoothly and everything is in operation - there are a few services that can be carried out to provide optimum safety, year-round.
Pressure Relief Venting
The chemical agents and gases released into the atmosphere can often become excessive due to our systems working their hardest to extinguish the fire. This can sometimes lead to leakage. Yet, with our pressure relief venting, you can expect this enclosure boundary to be set up by our experts to the degree that it doesn’t let this happen in the event of a fire.
Post Discharge Extract
Working in unison with the pressure relief venting, our excellent post-discharge extract service provides you with a system that will dissipate any fire-extinguishing agents from the premises. Therefore, you will be able to work safely or go back into your home without worrying about any potentially harmful substances in the environment.
10-Year Hydrostatic Testing
Under the guidelines of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), you have to swap your cylinders every 10 years. With this service seeming like a daunting task, getting in touch with us here at MEP Fire will give us the freedom to change the cylinders for you, leaving you with peace of mind at all times!
Room Integrity Testing
Once you’ve made your decision on what systems work best for your needs with the advice of our team of experts, you will now have a system in place that will function at a high level at all times when called upon.
The last service that is critical for optimum performance will be room integrity testing (RIT), which will essentially be the MOT of your fire suppression systems. MEP Fire has a large team of specialists who will come out and check to see if your fire suppression systems are running at the level they should be if needed in the event of a severe emergency.
