SYNOPSIS:

With a fire protection industry that has seen many advancements in recent years in the suppression and special hazards arena there is now a new technology that goes beyond suppression and stops a fire before it can start. O₂ Depletion fire protection is a controlled reduction of oxygen levels in enclosed areas. By introducing nitrogen the oxygen content can be reduced and held at a precise level where an outbreak of fire is not possible. There are obvious benefits of preventing a fire instead of suppressing it especially for applications where a fire would cause unacceptable damage and traditional fire suppression is undesirable or unusable. Unlike traditional fire-suppression systems, with O₂ Depletion dedicated pipes or nozzles are not required. This presentation will explore the O₂ Depletion technology and its best applications. An overview of the multiple manufacturers and their benefits will be given as well as examples of actual installations will be presented.
