APPROVALS INERGEN CLEAN-AGENT PROTECTION
Type-approved by USCG, ABS and DNV, and approved by U.S. EPA SNAP rules, INERGEN
agent is safe for crew that cannot escape protected spaces. INERGEN is an inert gas clean-
agent, not a chemical. Therefore, it does not decompose into toxic or acidic gases when
exposed to ame or hot metal surfaces. It has been independently tested on humans at
extinguishing concentrations, and is environmentally responsible.
INERGEN Systems offer:
n True total ooding capability, able to suppress Class A-B-C res regardless of size,
including obstructed res as found in the bilge.
n Will not obscure vision during egress and is safe for electrical equipment.
n Same gas components as air, so it wont be subject to future regulations.
n Self-contained, requiring no power source for manual operation.
Use INERGEN systems in machinery spaces, engine enclosures and storage lockers. Years of
proven performance in protecting commercial gas turbines and diesel engines.
ANSUL CARBON DIOXIDE PROTECTION
The most economical of the ANSUL marine re suppression agents, ANSUL CO
2
solutions are
type-approved by USCG, ABS and DNV. Outstanding cooling abilities. Time-delay warns crew
of impending agent discharge, offering ample time to leave protected spaces. Controls installed
outside of machinery spaces allow for remote operation.
Carbon Dioxide Systems offer:
n True total ooding capability, able to suppress Class A-B-C res regardless of size, including obstructed res as
found in the bilge.
n Self-contained operation, requiring no power source for manual operation.
n Years of proven protection on thousands of vessels.
n Protection for machinery spaces, engine enclosures, storage lockers and more.

EXPERTISE THAT MOVES
YOU FORWARD
Every day, the workhorses of the water face
danger from any number of ammable debris
and liquids. The right on-board re suppression
solutions must act quickly and completely. ANSUL
re suppression systems and extinguishers have
long been the answer for tow boats, providing
unsurpassed protection that meets the special
challenges of marine environments.
OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT RUNS DEEP
Prior to the introduction of reliable on-board
suppression, uncontrolled res were common on
commercial and naval watercraft. ANSUL INERGEN
Clean-Agent and Carbon Dioxide systems fully
satisfy the re suppression requirements of those
charged with protecting these vessels.
