Fact:
OxyReduct^® is the most
cost effective fire
protection solution for
large areas.

One of the reasons the system can be so cost effective is that Nitrogen is produced only when required and not stored in pressurized containers.

Fresh air is compressed and then filtered, extracting the Nitrogen. This produces air with a 95% Nitrogen content, which is then piped at low pressure into the protected area. Room sensors report back to the control system and allow the Oxygen level to be maintained at the desired level, by regulating the Nitrogen supply.

OxyReduct^® is automatically monitored for faults and constructed to be failsafe. In the event of a fault, protection to the area is not immediately lost - it can take days for the oxygen level to rise to an level where combustion can again occur, allowing time for repairs to be made.

The area is therefore constantly protected and a fire cannot occur.

Fact:
48% of all serious fires
are arson related.

A change of atmosphere

Fact:
Air is made up of
approx 78.0% Nitrogen
and 21.0% Oxygen;
this is the same at sea
level as it is at the top
of Mount Everest.

The natural ratio of oxygen to nitrogen remains the same at high level as it does at sea level; the amount of oxygen at high level is less because the overall air pressure is lower.

The amount of oxygen we would be breathing in an OxyReduct^® environment is similar to the amount of oxygen we would breathe in an aircraft cabin or up a mountain. But the air pressure remains the same as the ambient level.

Fact:
Nitrogen is an inert gas
and is non-toxic in any
quantity.

This means people who have flown in a jet aircraft or have been at high level have already experienced the same kind of atmosphere you would find in an OxyReduct^® protected area.
