Gas fire suppression systems

Did you know?
Fire extinguishers save money and lives. Fire losses in the UK are currently estimated at £7 billion per annum. Fire extinguishers are designed to prevent relatively minor incidents becoming major conflagrations.
  • Save
    the UK economy over £7 billion, based on values of the total fire claims for commercial premises in 1999.
  • Prevent
    1629 injuries, based on figures for deaths and injuries caused by fire published in 2001.

Gas fire suppression systems


Gas fire suppression is a term to describe the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire. The system typically consists of the agent, agent storage containers, agent release valves, fire detectors, fire detection system (wiring control panel, actuation signaling), agent delivery piping, and agent dispersion nozzles. Less typically, the agent may be delivered by means of solid propellant gas generators that produce either inert or chemically active gas.

MCFP have great experience in the design, installation and service of fixed fire suppression systems, including argonite, FM200, watermist and CO2 to protect a wide range of hazards and industrial processes. We are able to design and install new systems or to maintain existing systems.
