F-500 EA® Application
BESS facilities are at the heart of Australia's renewable energy future — and at the front line of one of the most dangerous fire risks in the industry. F-500 EA® Micelle Mist is the only proven solution.
The Risk
Battery Energy Storage Systems are rapidly being deployed across Australia — supporting solar and wind farms, stabilising power grids, and providing backup power to critical infrastructure. But with scale comes significant fire risk.
A single BESS fire can destroy millions of dollars of infrastructure, release toxic vapours across a wide area, and result in explosions that endanger emergency responders. In remote locations, by the time fire services arrive, the damage is done.
The Solution
DEKRA certified specifically for lithium-ion battery suppression. The only agent to address all three fire hazards simultaneously.
Encapsulates flammable electrolyte and absorbs thermal energy 10× faster than plain water mist — halting thermal runaway at the source.
Suppresses the generation of explosive hydrogen fluoride and other toxic off-gases — preventing vapour accumulation and secondary explosions.
Integrates with Smart-LX® monitoring for real-time automated response — critical for remote BESS locations far from fire services.
Who It's For
Remote locations with large-scale BESS — automated suppression is essential when fire services are hours away.
Critical infrastructure supporting Australia's power grid — the cost of failure is measured in millions.
On-site battery storage for manufacturing, warehousing and commercial buildings — protecting assets and operations.
UPS battery backup systems transitioning to lithium-ion — critical uptime requirements demand the best suppression.
Remote mine sites using BESS for power generation — extreme environments demand proven, reliable suppression.
Battery backup for telecommunications towers and infrastructure — protecting the network that keeps Australia connected.
