Clean Agent Systems

Active on Fire. Safe for People. Clean Agent systems like FM-200, Inergen and FE-13 provide protection for facilities containing valuable corporate assets from people and processes to equipment and software. They combine the benefits of clean agent systems and active fire protection with people-safe, environmentally friendly performance.

Clean. The agents discharge as a gas, reaching into all areas of the protected facility and leaving no residue to damage sensitive equipment or require costly cleanup. This enables you to get back to normal business operations faster after a fire.

Safe for People. The agents are non-toxic when used in accordance with NFPA Standard 2001. The agents are alternatives to Halon 1301, they cause no breathing problems for people and won't obscure vision in an emergency situation.

Environmentally-Friendly. Clean Agents are the most versatile and tested clean agents on the market, has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), a low (or no) atmospheric lifetimes and is listed by the Environmental Protection Agency with no usage restrictions.

• Typical Clean Agent Applications: The Value of the facilities contents (such as a museum) or the importance of the facility to a company's business continuity (for example, a data processing center) requires a fire suppression system that can react in seconds.

• Water sprinkler systems are not available, or if present, may damage the contents of the facility to be protected or pose an electrical safety problem for fire fighters.

• People occupy the facility to be protected (a process control center is a typical application).

• The use of a clean fire suppression agent is required to keep downtime to a minimum (as in an automated plant).

• There is a limited amount of storage space available for the fire suppression system agent containers
