INSTALLATION, REPAIR & TESTING OF ALL TYPES OF FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Suppression System
This system takes advantage of the high density level of carbon dioxide to rapidly suppress fires. If your business houses critical electrical and electronic equipment, this is for you.
Commonly install to protect:
MSB Room, HV Room, LV, Room, TNB Room, Genset Room
Advantages:
1. Lowest price among all fire suppression system
Disadvantages:
1. Not suitable for normally occupied rooms as the CO2 will deplete oxygen in the room
2. CO2 emission to the environment. Increase greenhouse effect
3. Standard cylinder size. More challenging to be installed at upper level floors without lift
FM-200 Fire Suppression System
Pressurized with nitrogen to 500 PSI it rapidly extinguishes a fire through a combination of heat absorption and some chemical interference with the flame. If the protection area is normally occupied with working people, this is for you.
Commonly install to protect:
Control Room, Medical Records Room,
Advantages:
1. Safe in normally occupied room
2. Small footprints
Disadvantages:
1. Relatively higher cost to the CO2 system
Inert Gas Fire Suppression System
It uses a mixture of naturally available gases, argon and nitrogen as an extinguishing agent and is based in the principle of reducing the oxygen concentration inside the protected hazard until it reaches a level where combustion is no longer supported.
Commonly install to protect:
Control Room, Medical Records Room
Advantages:
1. Safe in normally occupied room
2. No greenhouse effect
Disadvantages:
1. Relatively higher cost to the CO2 system
2. Standard cylinder size. More challenging to be installed at upper level floors without lift
Kitchen Fire Suppression System
The system releases wet chemical extinguishing agents designed to put out cooking fires. These chemicals react with grease to create a harmless soapy substance that can’t re-ignite. This process protects the hoods, appliances, and plenum areas from the ravages of fire. For added safety, the system also shuts off the electricity and gas powering your commercial kitchen.
Other Fire Suppression Systems
• Dry Chemical Fire Suppression System
• Aerosol Fire Suppression System
• Water-Mist Fire Suppression System
