FIRE SUPPRESSION WITH PYROGEN

Pyrogen fire detection and suppression systems have been available to the South African marketsince 2000 and, having taken it by storm, recently expanded into African markets, withactivities in Ghana, Guinea and Mali mirroring those in South Africa.
FirePak Oil and Gas Industries, the sister company of Alien Systems and Technologies (AST). South Africa based AST  first established itself in the gaseous systems arena, has since added the world’s first commercially available aerosol fire suppression system to its range of products. This system, the only genuine Soyuz product in South Africa, has helped to make Pyrogen one of the fastest growing businesses in this sector.
