With con­ven­tional oxy­gen re­duc­tion sys­tems, an air com­pressor, com­pressed air pre­par­a­tion, and a ni­tro­gen gen­er­ator are re­quired to per­man­ently lower the oxy­gen level in the pro­tec­tion zone. This res­ults in on­go­ing costs that can ex­ceed the ori­ginal in­vest­ment in just a few years.

The hy­dro­gen-based fuel cell tech­no­logy Oxeo Eco­Prevent FC is sig­ni­fic­antly more eco­nom­ical. It is the first fire pre­ven­tion sys­tem to pro­tect vul­ner­able pro­tec­tion zones from fire with an emis­sion-free and thus cli­mate-friendly solu­tion whereby the ni­tro­gen-rich ex­haust air from a hy­dro­gen-based fuel cell is fed into the room in order to cre­ate a “fire-safe” at­mo­sphere and thus act­ively pre­vent open fires.

The high de­gree of ef­fi­ciency en­sures that the fuel cell can not only cre­ate suf­fi­cient quant­it­ies of ni­tro­gen for fire pro­tec­tion using small quant­it­ies of hy­dro­gen, but it also gen­er­ates power and heat which can be used for profit. The weather­proof, dur­able and easy-to-main­tain design re­duces op­er­at­ing costs and thus fur­ther in­creases the cost-ef­fi­ciency of the Oxeo Eco­Prevent FC.

Ad­vant­ages at a glance

• De­liv­ers fire pro­tec­tion for areas such as com­pact stor­age fa­cil­it­ies or deep-freeze ware­houses, which are very ex­pens­ive to pro­tect with con­ven­tional fire pre­ven­tion sys­tems.
• Pre­vents in­ter­rup­tions due to fire dam­age and thus en­sures avail­ab­il­ity of goods
• With an ef­fi­ciency level in ex­cess of 90%, it de­liv­ers out­stand­ing per­form­ance and high en­ergy ef­fi­ciency
• Re­duces CO2 emis­sions by hun­dreds of tonnes each year com­pared to con­ven­tional oxy­gen-re­duc­tion sys­tems
• Re­duces de­pend­ence on net­work op­er­at­ors and fluc­tu­at­ing en­ergy costs

Safety plus re­turn on in­vest­ment

Oxeo Eco­Prevent FC de­liv­ers fire pro­tec­tion and a re­turn on in­vest! En­ergy and heat pro­duced by the fuel cell can be used to op­er­ate other sys­tems, which of­fers a range of be­ne­fits for the op­er­ator: As well as sav­ing money, they also be­come less de­pend­ent on net­work op­er­at­ors and fluc­tu­at­ing en­ergy prices. In ad­di­tion, the warm water can also be fed into the heat­ing cir­cuit, which can lead to fur­ther cost sav­ings. Fire pro­tec­tion is en­sured at all times, even dur­ing a power cut, be­cause in isol­a­tion op­er­a­tion, the fuel cell can also work as a standby gen­er­ator.

Oxeo Eco­Prevent FC eases the budget and pro­tects the cli­mate. With its emis­sion-free op­er­a­tion, the sys­tem saves hun­dreds of tons of CO2 each year com­pared to con­ven­tional oxy­gen-re­duc­tion sys­tems and sup­ports de­car­bon­iz­a­tion of the busi­ness. The pre­ven­tion of open fires also stops harm­ful sub­stances es­cap­ing into the en­vir­on­ment in the event of a fire.
