Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention – The FirePASS® Concept

Fire Safety Advantages of Oxygen Reduction with FirePASS®

FirePASS® oxygen reduction fire prevention provides continuous protection by reducing the risk of ignition before a fire can develop. Unlike conventional fire suppression systems that respond after ignition, FirePASS® maintains a controlled protective atmosphere 24/7. This proactive approach offers significant fire safety and operational advantages for facilities where business continuity, critical assets and infrastructure need reliable protection.

Continuous Fire Prevention

  • Continuous protection designed to reduce the risk of fire ignition and sprea
  • Proactive fire prevention to protect business processes and valuable assets
  • Protection remains active without waiting for a fire detection or suppression event
  • Multiple protected areas and fire risks can be managed within one engineered system
  • Continuous operation without the routine replacement or refilling of extinguishing agents

Fire Protection Without Water or Chemical Agents

FirePASS® oxygen reduction fire prevention does not rely on the discharge of water, foam or chemical extinguishing agents during normal prevention operation.

Key advantages include:

  • No water discharge onto sensitive equipment or valuable assets
  • No chemical extinguishing residue
  • No cleanup following a conventional suppression discharge
  • Reduced risk of secondary damage caused by water, foam or extinguishing agents
  • No false discharge of conventional extinguishing agents
  • Reduced risk of disruption associated with suppression-system activation

Protect Business Continuity and Critical Operations

For mission-critical facilities, the consequences of a fire can extend far beyond direct fire damage. Smoke, water discharge, cleanup, repairs and inaccessible areas can all interrupt normal operations.

FirePASS® is designed to reduce these risks by maintaining a continuously protected environment.

Key operational advantages include:

  • Reduced risk of fire-related operational downtime
  • No cleanup following normal oxygen reduction fire prevention
  • Continued protection without replacing discharged extinguishing agents
  • Protection for critical equipment, infrastructure and valuable goods
  • Suitable for environments where operational continuity is essential

Scalable Fire Protection for Different Environments

FirePASS® systems can be engineered for different room sizes, protected volumes and facility requirements.

System advantages include:

  • Scalable protection for different sizes of protected areas
  • Multiple protected rooms or compartments can be incorporated into the system design
  • Compact system configurations with a relatively small equipment footprint
  • No extensive distribution of conventional extinguishing nozzles throughout the protected area
  • Flexible system design for a wide range of fire prevention applications
  • Engineered oxygen monitoring and control for continuous protection

Controlled Oxygen-Reduced Environments

FirePASS® systems create a carefully controlled oxygen-reduced atmosphere within the protected environment. Oxygen concentrations are continuously monitored and regulated according to the engineered system design.

Where occupancy is permitted, operating conditions, oxygen levels and safety measures must be determined according to the specific application and applicable occupational health and fire safety requirements.
