CO2 – A RELIABLE EXTINGUISHER

Carbon dioxide is a non-flammable gas and, above all, it displaces oxygen. Because of this special characteristic, CO2 is used to fight fires. Liquid CO2 from BUSE tanks or cylinders, depending on the needed amount, is automatically sprayed on the fire once fire detection systems have been triggered. CO2 displaces the oxygen until the fire is extinguished.

Its advantages are:

• No extinguisher residues
• No water damages
• Highly effective in extinguishing fires
• Protection of buildings, equipment and machines
• Storage of a large amount of CO2-extinguishing agent in a small amount of space
• Easy and safe handling of CO2 in tested storage tanks “System BUSE”

Because of its special advantages, the process is applied in aluminum smelting facilities, archives, in the storage of plastics and hazardous goods, silos, motor rooms of ships or in computer rooms.
