A Complete Fire Prevention Concept with Oxygen Reduction

Oxygen reduction prevents fires by lowering the oxygen level. Discover how this technology works and its advantages.

Preventing fire by reducing oxygen

Fire prevention

How it works

Three components are needed for a fire to start: oxygen, heat, and fuel. If one of these components is removed, a fire cannot develop. Our technology at Storex is based on this principle. By reducing the oxygen content in the air, we literally deprive the fire of the “air it needs to breathe.” This process, known as active oxygen reduction, ensures that the oxygen concentration falls below the level required for combustion, effectively minimizing fire risks.

 

The Process

Nitrogen is fed into the area to be protected to reduce the oxygen concentration below the specific ignition level of the environment to be protected. Adding nitrogen changes the composition of the air, reducing the oxygen content until the remaining oxygen levels are no longer sufficient to sustain or spread the fire.

Reducing nitrogen for a fire-safe environment

To create a fire-safe environment, nitrogen is fed into the area to be protected. This process reduces the oxygen concentration to below the specific ignition level of the environment in question. Adding nitrogen changes the composition of the air. The oxygen content is reduced to such an extent that the remaining oxygen levels are no longer sufficient to sustain or spread fire.

Adding nitrogen reduces the oxygen content of the air, which is essential for combustion. Without sufficient oxygen, a fire cannot start or spread. This makes nitrogen an effective and safe method for minimizing fire risks and ensuring a protected environment.

Our systems are designed to continuously supply nitrogen and monitor oxygen levels, ensuring that the environment always remains within safe limits. This process is not only effective but also environmentally friendly, as nitrogen is a natural and abundant gas that has no harmful effects on the environment.
