DEPOT SAFETY YOGYAKARTA

Keterangan :

Pyramid initially commenced installing fixed carbon dioxide extinguishing systems in the textile industry both at home and abroad over 38 years ago and have built up an enviable reputation for professionalism and reliability, in the field of extinguishing systems which now also include amongst others FM200, Argonite, water mist, foam and dry powder.

Fixed extinguishing systems can be manually or automatically operated and installed to protect vulnerable areas ranging from switch cabinets to switchrooms, data rooms to telecommunication rooms, shrink wrap machines to printing presses, almost anything of high capital value or that is critical in a production process.

The mandatory decommissioning of Halon extinguishing systems should have been carried out and completed by December 31st 2003, except where a special license has been granted.

General information is available lower down on this page for FM200, Argonite and C02 systems, for further professional advice on these and other systems, backed by a wealth of experience contact our office.

FM-200� is a clean, safe fire fighting agent for use on total flooding automatic extinguishing systems. It is intended as a long term replacement for Halon 1301 and, whilst maintaining the excellent fire suppression properties of Halon, has none of the environmental problems. Storage and distribution requirements are similar to Halon and the majority of system components are identical. However, FM-200� design concentration is not a direct replacement for existing Halon 1301 installations due to the difference in agent quantity and discharge characteristics. The FM-200� design concentration for ' normal' risks is 7 1/ 2% and therefore requires approximately 60% additional storage capacity over that required for Halon in the same area.

The manufacturers claim that FM-200� is safer than Halon 1301 for use in total flooding applications and the US Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) accepts extended use exposures of upto 9% . This has been further confirmed by a recently published HAG report. FM-200� is rated as Zero Ozone Depletion ( ODP) , is electrically non-conductive, clean, and leaves no residue.

The U.S. EPA, in the Federal Register, May 12, 1993, recognised the inherent safety of FM-200� in accepting it for use in occupied space protection at upto 9.0% v/ v without mandated egress times, or upto 10.5% v/ v with mandated egress times. This means that occupied spaces can be safely evacuated, even in the presence of FM-200� at design concentrations.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA) states, " HFC-227ea ( FM-200) does not deplete stratospheric ozone. In addition, HFC-227ea is the most effective of the proposed HFC substitutes for Halon 1301."

FM-200� ( HFC-227ea) is a clean, gaseous agent containing no particulates or oily residues. It is produced under ISO 9002 guidelines to strict manufacturing specifications ensuring product purity. FM-200� leaves no residue or oily deposits on delicate electronic equipment, and can be removed from the protected space by ventilation.

FM-200� is thermally and chemically stable, but without the extremely long atmospheric lifetimes associated with other proposed Halon replacements. The atmospheric lifetime of FM-200� has been determined to be between 31 and 42 years. The US EPA does not consider FM-200� to be a long lived substance and as such has placed no restrictions on its use.

FM-200� can decompose at high temperatures to form halogen acids. If so, their presence is readily detected as a sharp, pungent odour long before hazardous maximum exposure levels are reached. Fire toxicity studies conclude that generally decomposition products from the fire itself, especially carbon monoxide, smoke, heat, and oxygen depletion, create a greater hazard.
