Effective firefighting – with no secondary consequences

Fire Eater’s solution is used worldwide – both on land and at sea – and is known for its extreme efficacy and its gentle, environmentally friendly extinguishing method.

Offshore, Inergen® fire protection is not just used in the oil and gas industry – for protecting engine rooms and E-houses on extraction, production and treatment installations, for example – but also within the offshore wind turbine industry, to make sure that catastrophic explosive fires do not occur. Among other facilities, the system currently protects offshore wind turbine transformer stations, drilling vessels, platforms, jack-up, FSO1 and FPSO2. In such locations, Inergen may be used to protect an installation’s vital hubs: rooms housing electrical equipment, such as servers, switchboards and intersections, or engine rooms with generator pumps and process equipment.

An Inergen system provides optimal protection and ensures a rapid return to normal operations after an incident.

Harmless to equipment, safe for humans

Fire Eater’s Inergen systems are used in a wide range of areas in the offshore industry and extinguish everything from oil fires to fires in electrical installations. Typically it takes just 40 seconds for Inergen to extinguish a fire while simultaneously preventing re-ignition.

Inergen consists only of gases that are found naturally in the atmosphere. The extinguishing method is therefore completely harmless to both equipment and people. This means that clearing-up and cleaning costs can be saved after a system has been activated. Daily operations can thus be resumed immediately after a fire has been extinguished.

Why use Inergen for firefighting?

It extinguishes a fire quickly.
No re-ignition later.
Harmless to humans and equipment.
Ensures rapid resumption of operations following use.

How Inergen works

An Inergen fixed extingushing system from Fire Eater responds automatically to fire. The system uses sensitive detectors which send a signal to release Inergen via nozzles located in the ceiling.

The system employs so-called ‘3D-extinguishing’. This means that the gas – released under pressure – spreads throughout the room – even in hard-to-reach places. This makes the extinguishing method extremely effective and suitable for protecting electrical cabinets, control rooms, pump rooms and engine rooms, for example.

    Bæredygtighed

    Fra brandsikker til fremtidssikret

    Vælg et bæredygtigt brandslukningsanlæg, der gavner din virksomhed og miljøet.

    Inergen er en inert gas, der er fuldstændig miljøvenlig og bæredygtig. Det er sammensat af naturligt forekommende atmosfæriske gasser, herunder 52% nitrogen, 40% argon og 8% kuldioxid.

    Inergen er helt sikkert at indånde og har et globalt opvarmningspotentiale (GWP) og ozonnedbrydningspotentiale (ODP) på nul. I modsætning til nogle brandslukningsmidler efterlader Inergen desuden ingen rester og kræver ingen oprydning efter udledning. Dette eliminerer behovet for omfattende oprydning eller dyr nedetid. Gør det til et omkostningseffektivt og fremtidssikret brandslukningssystem til datacentre.

    How it works

    How Inergen systems work in a data center

    The Inergen® fire suppression system is an automated solution designed to swiftly and effectively extinguish fires. It employs an aspiration system, which incorporates highly sensitive fire detection technology capable of identifying fires in their initial stages. Once a fire is detected, Inergen® is promptly released into the room. Reducing the oxygen level just enough to stop combustion, without posing any risk of harm to individuals present.
