Fire extinguishing with condensed aerosols
You may have heard of it, but do you really know what condensed aerosol fire extinguishing is? It's a revolutionary technology that's shaking up the world of fire protection. Far from cumbersome extinguishing systems and aggressive chemical agents, here we're talking about discreet systems that respect the environment and our health, but are just as fearsome!
With GS Environnement, experts in fire extinguishing solutions in France and Luxembourg, find out how this new method can bring fires under control quickly and effectively in enclosed and confined spaces.

The principle of fire extinguishing by condensed aerosol
Condensed aerosol fire extinguishing is based on a simple yet ingenious principle.
A fire breaks out. The system is triggered immediately, releasing a dense cloud of fine airborne particles from the nozzle. These particles, filled with specific extinguishing agents, act by surrounding the flame and interrupting the combustion chain reaction. They absorb the heat, inhibit the production of free radicals and dilute the combustible gases, without depleting the oxygen. In this way, the fire is smothered quickly and effectively.
What are the advantages of using condensed aerosol fire extinguishing systems?
This technology offers a number of advantages over traditional extinguishing systems:
- Speed of action: extinguishing is almost instantaneous as soon as the fire starts;
- Effectiveness without material damage: Condensed aerosols are particularly effective for extinguishing fires in confined spaces, without causing any damage to the equipment in the space;
- Health and safety: The extinguishing agents used are inert, non-toxic and environmentally friendly;
- Versatility: The technology works without a pipe network and without any pressure, unlike other systems that require this equipment to operate;
- Discretion: Due to its compact size and the fact that it does not require complex piping, this technology can be easily concealed in narrow spaces for fire protection purposes.
Condensed aerosol fire extinguishing: the Stat-X solution from GS Environnement
GS Environnement is an engineering company that has specialised in automatic fire detection and extinguishing in France for over 20 years. We offer tailor-made fire-fighting product solutions for the professional catering sector and high-risk environments.
For confined spaces that are difficult to access, we install and maintain the
Stat-X solution, a latest-generation condensed aerosol extinguishing system. This system operates autonomously and requires no human intervention. When a fire is detected, the Stat-X generator is triggered automatically, releasing a cloud of aerosol that quickly envelops the area to be protected, stopping the spread of flames and extinguishing the fire.
Why choose Stat-X?
Stat-X is a solution recognised and approved to UL 2127, ISO 9001, ULC-ActivFire Australia and US Military standards for its reliability and effectiveness. Thanks to the potassium it contains, this technology quickly controls the start of a fire and prevents it from reigniting after it has been extinguished, as the aerosol particles remain in the air. These particles are harmless to human health and the environment, and in no way reduce the oxygen level in the room. After spraying, the aerosol can be easily removed from the room. A simple ventilation system evacuates it in just a few minutes.
Another advantage of this fire-fighting system is that it is compact and can be integrated into complex spaces that are difficult to access in the event of a fire, making it versatile and adaptable to various
Finally, Stat-X is easy to install and maintain, and does not damage the equipment around it, even when it is in action.
Who is this condensed aerosol fire protection system for?
The Stat-X solution is aimed at anyone who wants to protect their property and people against the risk of fire.
It can be used for professional purposes in industry, laboratories, data centres, wind farms, power stations, switchboards, vending machines, containers, museums, libraries, bank vaults, construction sites, BESS, etc., as well as in private homes.
And also for use in private homes to protect detached houses, flats, cellars, garages, etc.
