- Innovation for fire fighting
Halon is used in fire fighting
equipment. However usage of Halon has a major drawback as it depletes the Ozone layer and
this is being banned globally, similar to ban of CFC by the United Nations. In order to
overcome the crisis BOC speciality gases indigenously developed "Argonite" gas
mixtures strictly as per the international specifications to meet the requirement. This
gas filled at 200 bar in 80 ltr. water capacity cylinders with solenoid valves is now
being produced at BOC SGC, adapted to the new system and tied up with Argonite and Inergen
fire fighting system commissioning agents in India. This is a major achievement in helping
the industry to be inline with the latest environment rules.
