Inergen: The Future of Fire Suppression for Maritime Environments
Most people think they're safe as long as the vessel has a fire suppression system. The truth is that many still use solutions that both the environment and authorities have begun to phase out.
When a fire occurs in an engine room or control room, seconds are all that matter. Here it's not about water volume, but about survival å for both crew and assets.
What Makes Inergen Unique?
Inergen consists of natural gases å nitrogen, argon and a small amount of CO2 å which together lower the oxygen level in the room to around 12%.
The flame is extinguished immediately, but people can still breathe safely enough to evacuate.
This provides rapid extinguishing, no water damage and zero residue.
The entire system is also environmentally friendly and compatible with IMO/SOLAS requirements for ships and offshore installations.
Why Shipowners and Offshore Companies Choose Inergen
Ozone Depletion (ODP)
Global Warming (GWP)
