What is an oxygen reduction system?

An oxygen reduction system (ORS) continuously supplies oxygen-reduced, nitrogen-enriched air to a controlled enclosure. It maintains a project-specific concentration intended to reduce the ability of defined materials to ignite or sustain fire.

The design concentration comes from material ignition-threshold data, safety margin, enclosure conditions, occupancy and the approved fire strategy. No single oxygen percentage is suitable for every application.

Reliance Fire Protection Systems supports suitable oxygen-reduction projects from Mumbai across India.

Oxygen reduction system protecting an enclosed facility

System Design and Components

Hazard Assessment

Combustibles, ignition thresholds, storage configuration, fire strategy and protection objectives.

Enclosure Integrity

Leakage, doors, penetrations, ventilation, adjoining spaces and operating air demand.

Air Production

Air separation, compressors, filtration, distribution pipework and discharge outlets.

Monitoring and Control

Oxygen sensors, measuring zones, alarm thresholds, automatic regulation and fault monitoring.

Personnel Safety

Occupational-health assessment, controlled access, alarms, training and emergency arrangements.

Testing and Maintenance

Commissioning, calibration, concentration verification, interface tests and lifecycle records.

Important: ISO 20338:2019 states that oxygen-reduction systems are intended to prevent fire initiation or spread and are not designed to extinguish fires. Personnel safety and any additional fire protection must be addressed by the approved project strategy.

Suitable Applications

Automated Warehouses

Enclosed high-bay storage with controlled access and stable operating conditions.

Archives and Museums

Selected stores containing sensitive documents or collections where agent discharge damage is undesirable.

Cold Stores and Technical Rooms

Suitable enclosed facilities after material, occupancy, leakage and operational assessment.

Oxygen Reduction System FAQs

Is ORS a fire-extinguishing system?

No. It is a fire-prevention system and must form part of an approved overall fire strategy.

What oxygen concentration is required?

The value is project-specific and based on material data, safety margin, room conditions and approvals.

Can people enter the room?

Only under approved occupational-health controls, monitoring, alarms, training and emergency procedures.

Does the room need to be airtight?

Leakage must be assessed and controlled so the system can maintain its design concentration.

What components are required?

Air-production equipment, distribution, oxygen sensors, controls, alarms and project-specific safety interfaces.

How is ORS maintained?

Maintain and test sensors, air production, filters, compressors, pipework, controls, alarms and records.

Do you provide ORS across India?

Yes, for suitable projects subject to design, safety and approval requirements.
