Argonite

Applications

Agronite systems are ideally suited to the protection of fixed equipment and plant. They are particularly applicable for high value risks where fi res can have devastating consequences way beyond the cost of damage and lost production.

System design

In a closed space, almost all fires are extinguished in less than 60 seconds when the oxygen concentration falls below 15%. The Agronite fire extinguishing system, based on a mixture of 50% Argon and 50% Nitrogen, reduces the oxygen concentration to a level acceptable to human exposure over short periods – thus eliminating the fire quickly and effectively without affecting personnel.

Knowing the size and complexity of the area to be protected, the fire hazard present and the requirements of the local approving authority, a dedicated computer programme is used to specify the size and geometry of the Agronite system hardware.
