Individual company presentation

FOGTEC Fire Protection, headquartered in Cologne, Germany, is one of the world's leading providers of high pressure water mist fire protection systems. With more than 25 years of experience and over 50 licensed partners worldwide, our portfolio ranges from consulting and the supply of components and complete systems to installation and maintenance. FOGTEC systems safeguard thousands of fire risks in buildings and industry around the world, with a clear focus on battery applications.

Fire protection for battery storage:
In the SUVEREN2use research project, we carried out large scale fire tests in a real high bay rack in 2025, accompanied by IFAB and TÜV SÜD. More than 10 tonnes of battery cells (NMC) were ignited at full state of charge. With high pressure water mist applied directly inside the rack, the thermal runaway stayed confined to a single rack compartment. These are among the first validated results for a topic where reliable data has been scarce.

High pressure water mist for BESS:
Thanks to its strong cooling effect, high pressure water mist is particularly suited to fighting battery fires. Fire spread to further battery modules is controlled by cooling. No waiting time is required and no sealed room is needed. Smoke and flammable gases can be extracted while the system fights the fire and cools the surroundings. This reduces the accumulation of explosive gases and clearly lowers the risk of explosion.

Detection, ventilation and explosion protection:
Even in the first phase of a malfunction in the battery cell, tiny amounts of gases are released. Highly sensitive FOGTEC sensors detect them at an early stage. Through the FOGTEC controller, battery activity is shut down and, at the same time, ventilation flaps are opened or mechanical ventilation is started, in order to prevent explosive gas accumulations in the BESS and to significantly reduce the probability of explosion.
