Where water damage isn't an option, a gas suppression system extinguishes fire without leaving a mess behind. Here's what these systems are, where they're used, the different clean agent options available, and how CTS designs, installs and maintains gas suppression systems tailored to your space.
Where water damage isn’t an option, such as server rooms, archives, or areas with sensitive equipment, gas suppression systems extinguish fires quickly without leaving a mess behind. We design, install and maintain gas suppression systems tailored to your environment.
A gas suppression system, sometimes called a gaseous fire suppression system, extinguishes a fire by releasing a clean agent gas into the protected space, removing the oxygen or heat a fire needs to survive. Unlike sprinklers, the agent leaves no residue, no water damage, and no clean-up, making it ideal for protecting spaces where the contents matter as much as the building itself. These systems are commonly triggered automatically by smoke or heat detectors, discharging within seconds of a fire being detected.

Gas Suppression Systems
Gas suppression is the go-to fire protection method wherever water or foam would cause as much damage as the fire itself. Common applications include:
There are several clean agent options available, and the right choice depends on your space, budget, and what you’re protecting. Chemical agents such as FM200 suppress fire quickly and are widely used for their compact storage requirements. Inert gas systems, using naturally occurring gases like nitrogen or argon, are a strong choice where environmental impact is a priority. Novec 1230 is a newer clean agent known for its low environmental footprint and safety in occupied spaces. Our engineers will recommend the right system based on your specific environment and risk assessment.
We design gas suppression systems around the size, layout and contents of your space, ensuring the right agent concentration and discharge time to extinguish a fire without putting people or equipment at risk. Our accredited engineers handle the full installation, including detection, control panels and discharge nozzles, with everything tested and commissioned before handover. Ongoing maintenance is just as important as the initial install, since a system that hasn’t been serviced can fail to discharge correctly when it’s needed. We provide planned maintenance visits with full documentation for compliance and insurance purposes.
