What are clean agents?
Clean agents are gaseous fire suppressing agents. Because they suppress fire using gases, there is no damage to protected areas from the discharge and no residue to clean up. Thus, the term "clean" agents.

Carbon dioxide or CO2 is an environmentally safe gas that is colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive ... and highly efficient as a fire suppression agent. Carbon Dioxide fire protection systems use intelligent, reliable and fast-acting control panels to quickly sense a fire before it can cause damage to property. Carbon dioxide gas has a high rate of expansion, which allows CO2 fire protection system to work fast.

When applied to a fire, CO2 provides a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the oxygen level to a point where combustion cannot occur. Since carbon dioxide is a gas, there is no clean-up associated with CO2 fire suppression system discharge ... that's minimal interruption to your business! In fact, the cost of clean-up and peripheral damage associated with water sprinkler systems, foam systems, and dry chemical agents can exceed the costs associated with the actual fire damage. With Carbon Dioxide system, clean up costs and downtime associated with a CO2 discharge are negligible.

Foam suppression is used mostly for a wide coverage area such as hangers and large factories. Large spaces like this allow the foam to fall freely from over hanging dispersion fixtures. Foam works by applying a layer of chemical to blanket the area, smothering the fire. This is the same idea as the age old concept of the blanket over the fire.

Water Mist Systems

Is a twist on the conventional water sprinkler system, which is common in most buildings. Water mist systems allow a mist of water to flow threw the jets compared to the stream of water that the more common sprinkler systems. By using a misting system, the damage to property is far less. Water mist systems operate like conventional system by pumping water through pipes and into a specially designed nozzle that flows one (1) gallon a minute.
