NATURA™ Inert Gas Fire Suppression System
Sustainable, Residue-Free Fire Suppression Using Naturally Occurring Gases
The NATURA™ Inert Gas Fire Suppression System is an engineered suppression solution that extinguishes fire by reducing oxygen concentration to a level that will not support combustion, all without leaving residue or producing by-products.
NATURA™ systems use naturally occurring inert gases, making them an environmentally responsible choice for protecting occupied spaces, sensitive equipment, and irreplaceable assets. By preserving visibility and eliminating cleanup after discharge, NATURA™ supports rapid recovery and continued operation in mission-critical environments.
When integrated with KiddeFenwal detection and suppression control platforms, NATURA™ delivers reliable, code-compliant fire protection tailored to the specific hazard and enclosure.
Key Advantages
- Inert Gas Suppression Using Natural Components
Uses naturally occurring gases to suppress fire without chemical agents or residues. - Environmentally Responsible Protection
Zero ozone depletion potential and no greenhouse gas contribution from the agent itself. - Safe for Occupied Spaces
Designed for use in normally occupied areas when applied in accordance with applicable codes and standards.
- No Residue or Cleanup Required
Leaves no residue or corrosive by-products, reducing downtime and post-event disruption. - Engineered System Flexibility
Supports tailored system designs to match enclosure volume, hazard type, and operational requirements.
Applications
The NATURA™ Inert Gas Fire Suppression System is ideal for environments where sustainability, asset protection, and operational continuity are critical, including:
- Data centers and server rooms
- Control rooms and electrical spaces
- Telecommunications facilities
- Archives, libraries, and records storage
- Museums and cultural institutions
- Clean rooms and high-value industrial spaces
