Fire Suppression

Fire Defense offers many types of Fire Suppression Systems. Each system is completely customizable to best serve the functions of your facility. Fire Suppression Systems are configurable to operate as a master, stand-alone system, or they can interface with a wide variety of others, including existing security systems, alarm systems, and other Suppression Systems within your facility (new or pre-installed).
 
There are several types of Fire Suppression Systems which we currently install and/or service. Each type of system has its own pro’s and con’s. We select system types based on the needs and concerns of your facilities. Please click on one of these links to jump further down the page, or scroll to learn how each may benefit you.

CLEAN AGENTS

Clean Agents have rapidly become the preferred method of fire suppressant for many applications, and here are some of the reasons why:

1. Clean Agents typically detect and extinguish fires more quickly than water-based systems.

2. Clean Agents permeate obstructed spaces and fill the entire room with a concentrated, people-safe gas that will not support fire.

3. Clean Agents are electrically non-conductive, require no clean-up, and cause no direct damage to your business assets, such as computers and other expensive and/or delicate equipment.

*Several types of Clean Agents are available. Please contact us at (248) 549-8113 for more information about Clean Agents.

CO2

Carbon Dioxide can be used to protect a wide variety of industrial and commercial spaces. It is an odorless, colorless, electrically non-conductive, environmentally safe gas that serves as a highly efficient fire suppression agent for a wide variety of applications. Upon discharge, it simultaneously cools the air and reduces the amount of oxygen to a level which can no longer support combustion. Its high ratio of expansion allows for rapid discharge and thorough saturation of the entire hazard area. Once discharged, CO2 leaves no additional residue to clean-up.

A Fire Defense Carbon Dioxide System is available for use in total flooding or localized area type protection systems. Typical applications for our CO2 Suppression Systems are: Electrical Equipment, Flammable Liquid Storage, Chemical Processing Equipment, Dip Tanks and/or Quench Operations, Switchgear Rooms, Food Processing Equipment, Spray Booths, Paint Lockers, Printing Presses, Power Generation, Industrial Ovens, Coating Machines, etc. Fire Defense provides all necessary system components and accessories yielding a well-designed, user friendly system package. Sophisticated control panels, delayed action devices, warning signs, manual release stations, automatic detection, and warning devices are available and customizable. 

FOAM

Fire-fighting foam is a stable, dense mass of small, air-filled pockets, which has a lower density than gasoline, oil,
or water. Foam is made up of three ingredients: water, a foam concentrate, and air. Water is mixed with a carefully proportioned foam concentrate to form the foam solution. This solution is then aspirated in order to produce foam which quickly and stably flows over fuel surfaces. Foam types are chosen by their purpose. High-expansion foams are used for enclosed spaces, such as basements or hangars, which need to be filled quickly. Low-expansion foams are used on fuel spills.

DRY CHEMICAL

Industrial Dry Chemical Fire Suppression Systems supplied by Fire Defense use stored, pressurized dry chemicals combined with a fixed nozzle distribution network. These Systems are listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and/or are approved by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC). They are capable of automatic detection and activation in addition to remote manual activation. Other useful functions such as electrical power shut downs to equipment or devices which close the flow of gas lines are also available at your request. Automatic detection is provided by means of specifically rated fusible links, electric thermal detectors, and a host of other detection products. Dry Chemical Systems can be arranged for hazards that require total or localized flooding, tank side, or other local application nozzles. Many types of Dry Chemical Agents are available. For more information, please call us at (248) 549-8113.

HALON

In the 1960's & 70's, Halon gases were introduced as fire suppressants that would not damage valuable assets (such as aircraft, museums, telecommunication centers, etc.) upon deployment. By 1994, due to growing environmental concerns, all manufacturing of Halon gas was ceased; however, it is still possible to recycle Halon gas for use in certain industries. Please call us at (248) 549-8113 for more information about Halon gas and its current uses.
