Traditional CO2 fire suppressant systems in special-hazard environments have proven to pose environmental and health concerns, resulting in a push for water-based systems. The Ansul Aquasonic water-atomizing system breaks down water into trillions of tiny droplets, creating more surface area to extract heat from the fire and suppress it, and projects the droplets over significant distances. The cost-effective, space-flexible system uses about one-third the water of comparable high-pressure water-mist systems and can cover an area the size of an Olympic-sized soccer field with a mere three gallons of water and in one minute.
