Chemguard designs and manufactures our own line of large, expertly engineered Dry Chemical Systems. The units are an effective means of controlling 3-dimensional Class “B” (flammable liquid) and Class “C” (electrical) fires.  Chemguard’s Dry Chemical Systems will effectively extinguish large flowing fuel and gas/liquid pressure fires where other types of equipment and agents may be ineffective.  Our systems are frequently used in offshore locations. These units can be provided in several different sizes ranging from 200 lbs up to 2,500 lbs.  The dry chemical is contained within an ASME coded pressure vessel with a working pressure of 200 psi.  The dry chemical is expelled by nitrogen cylinders mounted on the skid unit.  The nitrogen is supplied through a pressure-regulating valve into a manifold and then piped to the dry chemical storage container. The standard dry chemical skid is supplied with either one or two hose reels. Each hose is equipped with 100’ of 1” hard rubber hose and a nozzle with ball-shutoff valve.
