What is Inertec?
Inertec fire suppression system is composed entirely of naturally occurring gases such as nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide that are mixed in certain proportion.
Therefore, it does not deplete the atmospheric ozone and does not create any greenhouse effect. With no long-term impact on the atmospheric life which is in line with the core of the modern fire protection concept of “protecting life, property and environment”.
Inertec fire suppression system is internationally certified by VdS, and locally approved by SGP and Bomba. Inertec system design is also in accordance with NFPA 2001 standards, and supported by VdS hydraulic calculations.

How does Inertec work?
Inertec fire suppression system is based on a total flooding principle, whereby the oxygen concentration level in the protection area is reduced from 21% to below 15%. At below 15%, the fire is suppressed as fire cannot maintain combustion.
The quantity of inert gas required to adequate extinguish the fire is determined by the design concentration based on the room volume and class of fire.
Upon detection of smoke and heat, Inertec which is stored in high-pressure steel cylinders is automatically (or can be manual) discharged into the enclosure within 60 seconds via distribution piping and discharge nozzles.
What are the pros and cons of Inertec?
Where can I use?
Computer rooms, power distribution rooms, wind turbine rooms, energy storage power stations, advanced precision instruments, museums, hospitals and etc.
Is it safe?
Inert gas is safe to use under normal design concentration ranges subject to the type of system.
