Who Can Help Me With Fire Prevention For My Business?

When you look for fire prevention for your business, you need more than loose
extinguishers or a standard sprinkler line. You want to stop fire at the
source, protect people and equipment, and keep your operation running. Wij
bij AF-X Fireblocker help you do exactly that with condensed aerosol fire
extinguishing systems that are compact, waterless and pressure-free. From
electrical cabinets and IT & server rooms to industrial plants, lithium-ion
ESS/BESS, marine and offshore environments, we design and supply solutions
that block the fire in its origin and minimise collateral damage. In this
overview you discover which services and options exist, when they are
relevant, how our technology works, what the process looks like and how to
get started.

Which fire prevention services and options are available for businesses?

With us you can choose from object protection (for example electrical
cabinets, control cabinets and lithium-ion battery cabinets) and room
protection for spaces such as technical rooms, industrial production areas,
IT & server rooms, marine engine rooms, wind turbine nacelles, offshore
modules and automatic parking garages. All solutions are based on the same
AF-X Fireblocker aerosol generators with a 15-year lifespan, zero water use
and no gas cylinders or pipework. That keeps investment, installation and
maintenance costs low while still meeting international standards like ISO,
EN, KIWA and IMO. In the in-depth article we compare the different options
and typical configurations per type of business.

In which situations do companies choose fire prevention with AF-X?

Companies usually come to us when the risk and impact of fire become very
clear: after a near-miss, an insurer’s requirement, a new lithium-ion
storage project or a business continuity assessment. Technical rooms,
electrical cabinets, server rooms and industrial lines are critical: a
single short circuit or overheating can stop production or IT for days. Our
case studies in telecom (VodafoneZiggo), biomass plants, waste processors
and industrial facilities show how targeted aerosol protection at the source
limits damage to the component where the fire starts, instead of an entire
room. In the detailed context article we share concrete scenarios and
lessons from these projects.

What should you understand about fire prevention services for companies?

Our systems do not work like traditional water sprinklers or gas systems.
AF-X Fireblocker uses a solid, potassium-based aerosol that, once
activated, forms ultra-fine particles (less than two ppm) that bind the
free radicals in the fire. Oxygen stays in the room so people can still
breathe, but the fire cannot continue. The aerosol remains suspended for at
least 30–60 minutes (extendable up to 2 hours), preventing re-ignition. That
makes it ideal for enclosed spaces with sensitive equipment where water,
foam or oxygen depletion would cause serious damage. In the background
article we explain the technology, certificates and environmental profile in
more detail.

How does the fire prevention process work in practice?

When you contact us, we first map your risks: where are the real sources of
fire in your business – electrical cabinets, MCC rooms, battery containers,
server racks, production lines? Based on that, we design an aerosol
extinguishing concept with the right AF-X generators and, if needed,
detection and control (for example our AF-X TEC controller with linear heat
detection for cabinets or Micro-FEP panels for multiple objects). Because
our systems are compact and pressure-free, installation is usually
plug-and-play for an electrical installer: no water supply, storage tanks,
gas cylinders or piping. The in-depth process guide walks you step by step
through design, installation, testing and maintenance.
