Fire Eater INERGEN
State of the Art Fire Protection
NO fire – NO danger – NO damage

WHY CHOOSE INERGEN?

INERGEN is the safest gaseous inert clean agent available, providing protection that is 100% safe for people, 100% safe for the environment, and 100% safe for mission-critical electrical equipment , making it a solution designed for the future. It contains no chemicals, residues, or toxins, only naturally occurring atmospheric gases made up of 52% nitrogen, 40% argon, and 8% CO₂, ensuring it is safe for both people and the environment. INERGEN has no ozone-depleting compounds and zero global warming potential , making it environmentally responsible, while its non-electrical conductivity ensures complete safety for electronics. It also has the lowest thermal shock value of all clean agents, which protects sensitive electronic equipment. The 8% CO₂ component has been proven to support respiration in low-oxygen environments , making it even safer for people than argonite. After the presentation, we will have the opportunity to experience this technology together in person .

HOW DOES IT WORK?

INERGEN was invented by Fire Eater in 1974, and for more than 40 years the system has been continually refined and perfected. With over 10,000 systems operating worldwide, it has proven to be one of the most reliable fire suppression solutions available. INERGEN extinguishes fires extremely quickly, typically within the first 40 seconds and usually in under a minute, allowing facilities to return to service faster as there is no costly cleanup required compared to other systems. It is also quick and simple to design and cost using patented software, making it easy to quote for upcoming projects. The system benefits from fast approvals and is already FM, UL and LPCB certified, providing complete confidence that it will perform as intended and is fully insurance backed. In addition, most systems are available off the shelf, meaning they can be supplied quickly when required. Beyond installation, the reliability of INERGEN continues to be supported through ongoing maintenance, with 12-monthly inspections ensuring the system remains in optimal working condition, reinforcing its long-term trustworthiness and making it not just a product, but a lasting partnership in fire safety.

INERGEN APPLICATIONS

INERGEN is a highly versatile fire suppression solution designed to protect a wide range of critical environments where safety, reliability, and asset protection are essential. It is widely used in data centres, hospitals, electrical switch rooms, battery rooms, telecommunications facilities, and computer rooms, where sensitive equipment must remain protected without risk of electrical conductivity or damage. Its clean, inert gas composition also makes it ideal for protecting warehouses, manufacturing facilities, machinery spaces, subfloor areas, and DG warehouses, ensuring fast fire suppression without residue or costly cleanup. INERGEN is equally suited for specialised and high-value environments such as libraries, museums, archives, and cultural or historical assets, where preservation is critical. In addition, it is trusted across petrochemical facilities, offshore installations, marine vessels, pharmaceutical and medical facilities, and cool rooms , providing dependable protection across industries where both people and mission-critical assets must remain safe.

how Inergen works.

INERGEN is made up of naturally occurring atmospheric gases in different concentrations — 52% nitrogen, 40% argon, and 8% carbon dioxide — making it completely safe for people, the environment, and sensitive equipment. When smoke or fire is detected, the system releases INERGEN, which reduces the oxygen level in the room from 20.9% to around 10–14%, quickly extinguishing the fire within about 60 seconds while still allowing people to breathe safely. Because it is a clean, inert gas, there is no damage, no chemicals, no residue, no electrical interference, and no cleanup, allowing the area to be made safe and operations restarted faster than with any other fire suppression system.

AS1851 COMPLIANCE

If an AS1851 Audit was carried out on your fire protection system today, would it pass?

Do you have documentation that shows every component of your system is functioning properly? Proof that the nozzles and pipework are clear and unobstructed? Failing an inspection is one thing and can lead to a fine, but a system failing because of insuffiecient servicing, maintenance or design could lead to the loss of priceless data and equipment. Wouldn’t you prefer the peace of mind that a system is completely tested to prove that it will work when it is required.

The Inergen system from Fire Eater is the only technology in the fire protection market that offers the unique ability to test all moving parts without activating the system. This means that you can check and document that the system is functioning correctly at any time.

Fire Eater Inergen Systems are the easiest system on the market to service and maintain – Every component in the Fire Eater, INERGEN system can be quickly checked and verified as working with the system in-situ. Meaning it is guaranteed to work and can be 100% relied on if it is required in a fire event. Backed with FM, UL and DPCM
