What are they?  How do they operate?   How do they interface with other systems?   What is their Fire Prevention and Life Safety performance? 

The prevention, control and/or management of a fire within a building is very important for the life safety of occupants and the protection of property and goods within the building.

Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention Systems are becoming more frequently considered and used as an alternative to traditional fire protection systems.  These systems take a very different approach to fire protection and life safety, than do traditional fire protection systems. They are typically approved via the use of Performance Solutions.  

Where traditional fire protection systems such as sprinklers or gaseous fire suppression systems activate to control or extinguish a fire after it has started, Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention Systems are designed to create and maintain an oxygen-reduced atmosphere in an enclosure that can prevent the ignition of combustibles within the protected area, while maintaining a safe environment for the occupants.

Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention Systems are not widely known or understood.  This webinar is aimed at improving your understanding of these systems, key operational and performance criteria.  If part of your work includes aspects of fire protection or life safety , you will find this webinar very informative.
