Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the transition from carbon dioxide (CO2) fire suppression systems to modern clean agents in marine and offshore environments. It highlights the safety risks of CO2 systems and the advantages of clean agents.
Safety Concerns with CO2 Systems
CO2 systems, while effective, pose significant safety risks due to their lethal concentrations. Accidental discharges can be catastrophic, necessitating safer alternatives.
Transition to Clean Agents
Modern clean agents like FM-200q and Novecu1230 are safer for occupied spaces, effective in extinguishing fires without depleting oxygen, and environmentally friendly.
Comparison of Fire Suppression Agents
A table shows that clean agents require fewer cylinders and reduce system weight by 40% compared to CO2, leading to cost savings and increased safety.
Benefits of Clean Agent Systems
  • Safe for personnel and equipment
  • Reduced component and piping requirements
  • Electrically activated with manual backup
  • Cost-effective replacement for CO2 systems
  • System monitor integration and multiple discharge panel facilities
Fireboy-Xintex FES System
The Fireboy-Xintex FES system is preferred for new builds and refits, offering advantages in weight and cost, with electrical discharge panels integrating with ship monitoring systems.
Regulatory Compliance
All systems comply with IMO SOLAS and Marine Equipment Directive requirements, with designs available in Autocad and Solidworks.
Fire Detection Systems
The Syncro ASM control panel is a versatile fire alarm system compatible with Apollo devices, offering programmable test modes and network-wide integration.
Conclusion
The document advocates for clean agent systems over CO2 systems due to enhanced safety, environmental benefits, and cost-effectiveness, highlighting the Fireboy-Xintex FES system and Syncro ASM control panels as advanced solutions.

Fireboy IMO / Solas Commercial Vessels-2

Clean Agents Remove Heat Energy, Not Oxygen Shipboard Fires Are Major Threats To Safety Of all the perils at sea, one of the most dangerous is fire. Difficult to deal with and potentially deadly, fire leaves the crew and passengers caught between two unforgiving elements. There’s no local fire department to call. It’s up to the crew to control the fire. Fire-fighting at sea and on water is especially demanding. The complexity of design and component requirement of a traditional marine CO2 system is there to achieve system safety, however, the results of an accidental discharge can be catastrophic....
