Fire Prevention - OxyReduct^®

All current forms of fire detection and extinguishing rely on one simple fact a fire must have already started. No matter how good the fire protection is, some damage will occur. The ultimate form of fire protection is thus to prevent fires from happening in the first place, which is how OxyReduct^® differs from all other traditional systems.

An open fire cannot occur or sustain itself if there is a lack of oxygen in the atmosphere. Inert gas extinguishing systems have used this principle successfully for many years, but crucially there must have already been a fire for the extinguishant to be released. OxyReduct^® employs innovative technology that continuously reduces the oxygen level in a room by adding nitrogen to the air. The oxygen is reduced to a level in which most combustibles do not inflame and an open fire is impossible. Importantly, people can enter the area of risk.

Because prevention is better than cure

Man learnt to create fire.now he can prevent it	Historically, there have been several options for fighting fires: water, different extinguishing agents and the fire department. All of these measures saved lives and helped to reduce damage. However, fire could not be prevented - until now.

The better solution

Installing OxyReduct^® means the area is protected by the most effective fire prevention system available because a fire simply cannot occur - period!

OxyReduct^® is used where reliable fire protection is essential for an organisation's success.

A small fire or even a false alarm can mean disruption and cost. With today's need for 24/7 operation this can be unacceptable. Even one hour's business interruption without any damage can mean huge lost revenues.

Important areas such as computer centres, IT rooms, telecommunication centres and server rooms all need special protection. Should an electronic component overheat, damage may spread quickly. It is essential to detect a possible fire before it can destroy large parts of the facility. Even combustion gases could harm sensitive electronic components and lead to a breakdown of the entire system or installation. As a consequence business would come to a standstill - which must be avoided.

It is of the utmost importance that business operations are maintained. A closer look at the IT sector makes this importance even more obvious. Not only is there material damage but also supporting business and customer data may be lost.

In telecommunication it is about maintaining communication channels, protecting nodal network points as well as constant availability and fast access.

OxyReduct^® completely removes one of the possible risks of business interruption allowing you to focus on other issues - forget the danger of fire!
