Stat-X Fire Suppression Systems

Now there is a better way to suppress fire. With Stat-X, the objectives will always be to save lives, save your investment, your livelihood and be good to the environment. But innovative fire protection does more, as it combines science and economics.

With MFS there is no longer a need to worry about your extinguisher maintenance, we contact you annually to arrange a visit from our engineers

Stat-X is a superior, environmentally friendly fire suppression system that offers easier, more cost-effective installations. With a long service life and low maintenance requirements, using technologically advanced methods for protecting more challenging marine and vehicle applications. There’s no wonder why Stat-X is the number one choice for protecting boat engine rooms and machinery spaces for the UK’s commercial workboat builders and workboat operators.

What is a Stat-X aerosol generator?

An aerosol generator is a self contained extinguishing unit that contains an aerosol forming compound which, during a controlled combustion process within the generator, produces an ultra-fine aerosol extinguishing agent that is significantly more effective than currently available alternatives. The units are constructed of stainless steel components, are listed for both area and volumetric coverage, and require no piping, nozzles, or other distribution equipment. In effect, the generator acts as its own storage, production and delivery device.

How does it work?

Unlike other agents that work by reducing oxygen levels or by cooling, the aerosol extinguishes by chemical interaction with the free radicals that fuel the growth of the fire — in the same manner as halon did. The aerosol stream contains ultra-fine (1-2 micron) particles of potassium compounds that provide a large surface area interaction with the fire. In the fire zone the free potassium radicals bind with the free radicals of the fire (O, OH, H) to rapidly slow and extinguish the fire. Stat-X is extremely effective. Tests on class B fires have shown it to be 5 times more effective than halon and 10+ times more effective than other currently available halon alternatives. This dramatically reduces weight and space requirements, which are always at a premium on any boat.
