FOGTEC water mist systems are an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to deluge and gas extinguishing systems for the protection of accommodation and machinery areas on offshore platforms.

Particularly gas turbines represent one of the largest risks on offshore platforms, which can ideally be protected with a FOGTEC water mist system.

There is no other extinguishing agent having the same cooling ability like water. Numerous tests have proven, that water mist generated by FOGTEC systems can reduce the temperature during liquid fuel fires much faster and efficient than most conventional systems because of the comparatively poor cooling properties of gas and deluge systems.

The water mist leads to an immediate drop in temperature in case of fire and protects nearby objects and people from radiant heat. Pure water is no danger to people and can be activated immediately after detection of the fire. The smoke scrubbing effect of FOGTEC systems, thus binding of smoke particles and washing of water soluble gases, considerably reduces emissions compared to deluge and gas extinguishing systems.

Approval test series according to international IMO regulations were successfully completed and witnessed by major international classification authorities, like Lloyd's Register, DNV, ABS and Germanischer Lloyd. FOGTEC has successfully approved the system for gas turbine protection according to FM standards.
