CO2 Flooding Fire Suppression System
The CO2 Flooding System is one of the common fixed firefighting systems that is specifically designed for most of the ships. It is used in places like a boiler room, pump room, engine room, etc. It can be used in any suitably sized enclosed space to extinguish fires quickly and effectively.
There is a high probability that a fire will occur in various ship rooms. Once erupted, it can rapidly spread to other parts of the ship causing severe damage to lives and resources. As a ship may be on a voyage during the fire, evacuation options are limited, making rapid fire suppression critical.
Important: CO2 is an asphyxiation hazard at flooding concentrations. Total-flooding CO2 systems require proper evacuation procedures, interlocks, and warning signage as part of an engineered design — they should only be installed and commissioned by qualified personnel in line with applicable safety standards.
Our company provides engineering, design, sale, installation, supervision and maintenance services for CO2 Fire Extinguishing System. CO₂ is well suited for local application in areas where chemicals are stored or used. CO₂ gaseous extinguishing systems decrease the oxygen concentration until the fire can no longer continue. Carbon dioxide gas is colourless, odourless, and electrically non-conductive, making it an ideal extinguishing agent. However, because of its asphyxiation effect, it can be harmful to human health.

Transformers, generators, turbines, engine test bays, ships' engine rooms and cargo holds.
Process Areas
Paint spray booths, dip varnishing units, vapour exhaust systems, drying ovens, flammable liquids & foam materials.
Is CO2 flooding suitable for my generator room?
Yes — CO2 total flooding is the standard choice for unoccupied generator rooms and enclosed engine spaces, delivering rapid high-concentration discharge.
What is the price of a CO2 flooding system?
Cost scales with the number of cylinders needed to reach the required CO2 concentration for your room volume — larger generator rooms need proportionally more cylinders in the bank.
Is CO2 flooding safe if the room is occupied?
No — CO2 displaces oxygen, so it is designed for unoccupied enclosures only. For occupied spaces, ask about our clean-agent alternatives.
