Case Studies

Innovation for fire fighting

Halon is used in fire fighting equipment. However usage of Halon has a major drawback as it depletes the Ozone layer and this is being banned globally, similar to ban of CFC by the United Nations. In order to overcome the crisis BOC speciality gases indigenously developed "Argonite" gas mixtures strictly as per the international specifications to meet the requirement. This gas filled at 200 bar in 80 ltr. water capacity cylinders with solenoid valves is now being produced at BOC SGC, adapted to the new system and tied up with Argonite and Inergen fire fighting system commissioning agents in India. This is a major achievement in helping the industry to be inline with the latest environment rules.
