PYRO-CHEM MONARCH Total-Flooding Systems for Large-Scale Production Booths

by | Nov 18, 2025 | Fire Suppression System, News

When it comes to industrial fire protection, partial solutions simply don’t cut it—especially in high-risk environments like manufacturing production booths, exhaust plenums, and long duct runs. That’s why at Monroe Extinguisher, our system technicians recently installed multiple PYRO‑CHEM MONARCH fire‐suppression systems using a total flooding and screening application technique, delivering full-coverage protection of the hazard area, work area, exhaust plenum, exhaust ducts, and the screening of production booths—with the largest booth reaching an impressive 46 feet in length.

A real-world success story

Here’s how our team at Monroe Extinguisher executed this for one of the largest installations:

  • Hazard profile: A production booth measuring 46′ long with manufacturing equipment inside, connected to an exhaust hood, plenum and long ductwork run.
  • Challenge: The booth and associated exhaust system represented a large contiguous hazard volume. Traditional suppression methods (local spot systems) would leave exposed surfaces and ductwork vulnerable.
  • Solution: Our techs designed and installed a PYRO-CHEM MONARCH total-flooding system with screening nozzles to cover the booth volume, the plenum space, and the duct runs. Coverage was engineered for the full length of the hazard zone.
  • Installation details: We deployed dedicated cylinders sized to match the calculated hazard volume, strategically placed discharge nozzles to cover the work-area and plenums, and screening nozzles positioned along ducts and booth exteriors to “screen” any flammable surfaces that might carry flame or heat. The control panel, detection zone, and release mechanism were all coordinated to meet NFPA standards and the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Outcome: The system provides confidence and peace of mind. The entire hazard—including the 46′-long booth, its associated exhaust plenum and ductwork—is now protected by a clean-agent suppression solution from Monroe Extinguisher.

 

Why choose Monroe Extinguisher for industrial fire-suppression systems?

  • With over 55 years of locally-owned operations in Rochester, NY, we bring deep experience across engineered fire-suppression solutions.
  • Our service fleet and system-technician network are expansive—so we’re equipped not just for installations, but for service, inspection, and support of large systems.
  • We work with best-in-class manufacturers. In this case, the PYRO-CHEM MONARCH system is a proven industrial solution for total-flood hazards.
  • We design suppression solutions that account for the full hazard envelope—work area, exhausts, ducts, plenums and beyond—rather than only the immediate equipment.
  • We understand that long production zones (46′ and beyond), complex ducting and plenums significantly increase the hazard footprint—our engineering takes that into account, delivering a complete solution rather than a patchwork.

The bottom line

If your facility includes long production booths, connected exhaust plenums and ducts, or continuous manufacturing enclosures where fire risk spans more than just the immediate work-area—then a partial suppression solution won’t provide the full protection you need. The total-flooding and screening approach we installed using the PYRO-CHEM MONARCH system is designed to cover the whole hazard envelope.

At Monroe Extinguisher, we’re proud to lead in engineered industrial fire-suppression systems. Whether you’re installing new equipment or upgrading your current protection, our team will work with you to design a solution tailored to your space, equipment and risk.
