Can Fixed Fire Fighting Systems be customized for high-risk areas like chemical plants or data centers?
For server rooms and data centers, where sensitive electronics are involved, water-based systems may result in damage. Clean agents like FM-200 or Novec 1230 are used instead. They extinguish fires without residues and provide minimal downtime for mission-critical IT operations.

Yes Fixed Fire Suppression Systems can and must be tailored to high-risk environments like chemical plants, refineries, or data centers. Each of these operations has specific fire hazards, and a blanket policy simply won't offer sufficient protection.

 

In fuel storage terminals and chemical plants, foam systems are commonly employed since they create a blanket over the flammable liquids, depriving them of oxygen and preventing re-ignition. Gas-based systems, such as CO₂ or inert gas, can also be employed in sealed process areas where water is not effective.

 

For server rooms and data centers, where sensitive electronics are involved, water-based systems may result in damage. Clean agents like FM-200 or Novec 1230 are used instead. They extinguish fires without residues and provide minimal downtime for mission-critical IT operations.

Personalization also applies to system design whether zoning, agent selection, or integration with HVAC and building management systems. Collaborating with specialists such as Swastik Synergy means every high-risk facility receives a customized, code-compliant solution that meets safety, efficiency, and operational continuity requirements.
