The FM-200 clean agent works by interrupting the fire The FM-200 clean agent works by interrupting the fire on a molecular level, not by taking oxygen from the on a molecular level, not by taking oxygen from the protected space. So it is the preferred fire protected space. So it is the preferred fire suppression agent for protection of shipboard suppression agent for protection of shipboard spaces where crew or other occupants may be spaces where crew or other occupants may be present.present.



Marine ApprovalsMarine Approvals

Marine Approvals. Gielle FM-200 Systems are Marine Approvals. Gielle FM-200 Systems are approved for use in marine applications such as approved for use in marine applications such as machinery spaces and flammable liquid storage machinery spaces and flammable liquid storage areas by major regulatory agencies. areas by major regulatory agencies.

General descriptionGeneral description

The Gielle FM-200 Marine System is a clean agent The Gielle FM-200 Marine System is a clean agent suppression system intended for use in total suppression system intended for use in total flooding applications on marine vessels. Its high-flooding applications on marine vessels. Its high-performance discharge capability is well suited to performance discharge capability is well suited to both Halon retrofit and large hazards. Whether you’re both Halon retrofit and large hazards. Whether you’re refitting an old halon system or building new, the refitting an old halon system or building new, the Gielle Marine System is for you.Gielle Marine System is for you.



FM-200 Fire Suppression System are used to FM-200 Fire Suppression System are used to suppress fires in specific hazards or equipment suppress fires in specific hazards or equipment where an electrically non-conductive agent is where an electrically non-conductive agent is required, where agent cleanup creates a problem, required, where agent cleanup creates a problem, where extinguishing capability with a low weight is where extinguishing capability with a low weight is desired and where the hazard is normally occupieddesired and where the hazard is normally occupied



Gielle FM-200 systems are intended to protect spaces containing the Gielle FM-200 systems are intended to protect spaces containing the following hazards:following hazards:
