For areas such as paint booths, mixing rooms or solvent storage rooms, a sprinkler system is not your only option! Instead, FirePro offers an industrial dry chemical system, using PyroChem Industrial Dry Chemical Fire Systems. Dry chemical systems are highly specialized installations, requiring unique expertise to design and install. We can design and build a new system for you or retrofit your existing system to bring it up to new standards. We offer total mechanically actuated systems or we can integrate the mechanical system with electronic detection and controls. Such flexibility and attention to detail ensures that your system meets all codes and is fully reliable.

- PyroChem Industrial Dry Chemical Fire Systems, pre-engineered systems are easy and affordable to install and maintain in virtually any industrial setting.
Coverage is Key...
- PyroChem Industrial Dry Chemical Fire Systems assure the best dry chemical coverage in the industry
- quick fire detection and suppression
- 24-hour, continual fire protection - with or without power to the building
- superior dry chemical coverage that quickly suppress fires
- audible and/or visual notification of system activation
Easy and Affordable to Install & Maintain
- PyroChem Industrial Dry Chemical Fire Systems are compact, rugged and reliable - offering maximum protection with minimum maintenance.
- Backed by over 30 years of industrial design experience, are more cost effective because:
- flexible, versatile system components save on hardware costs
- installation is faster and easier
- You consistently save on hardware and fire suppression agent costs because PyroChem has the right cylinder sizes and the right dry chemical agent (ABC or BC) for your system
- PyroChem Dry Chemical Fire Systems recharging is fast and economical; great for keeping maintenance costs low.
- In applications where a dedicated water supply is not available, PyroChem is the easy, affordable alternative to water and other costly clean agents.
The Right System For You . . .
One of the following UL 1254 Listed systems will be right for your application:
- total flooding systems are recommended for protection of totally or partially enclosed spaces or processes. When activated, a total flooding system quickly fills the protected space with either ABC dry chemical (multi-purpose) or BC dry chemical (for flammable liquids and electrical hazards).
- vehicle Paint Spray Booth total flooding system meets UL 1254 (September, 1998) provides ABC required coverage of all needed areas utilizing either sidewall or overhead nozzles in the work area and nozzles placed in the plenum and duct.
- local application systems suppresses fires in isolated, unenclosed hazards by applying the dry chemical directly onto the hazard using either overhead or tank side nozzles.
- open front spray booth system is designed to suppress fires in spray booths with un-closable openings. The UL-listed system provides total flood/screening coverage, and can be set up with as few as one cylinder.
PyroChem Dry Chemical Fire Systems authorized distributor can design and install the correct fire suppression system for your specific applications.
Automatic Protection Around the Clock
- Two types of automatic detection to choose from:
- Mechanical detection provides reliable performance and comes in standard or rapid response modes.
- Electrical detection provides enhanced sensitivity and is especially suitable for rapidly spreading fires or larger hazards.
- Single cylinder systems protect most hazards effectively;
- Multiple cylinder systems can be designed and installed in modules to protect exceptionally large hazards in a cost effective manner.
