- Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting, developed by the Aragonese metal shelving company Simonrack, achieves a world milestone: controlling a fire equivalent to that of two Tesla batteries and extracting a burning electric car from a parking lot without affecting neighboring vehicles.
- The system, created by inventor César Sallen -100% biodegradable, non-toxic and harmless to people, animals and plants- is the only certified technology in the world capable of extinguishing this type of fire effectively and safely.
- The product was successfully tested last Monday in Barcelona with companies such as SEAT, Iberdrola, TMB (Barcelona Metropolitan Transport), the Barcelona Fire Department, EMT, and AIDIVE (Spanish Association of Electric Vehicle Chargers).
A HISTORICAL DAY IN CASTELLOLÍ
Representatives from companies such as SEAT, EBRO, TMB (Barcelona Metropolitan Transport), Aidive (Association of electric vehicle chargers), Aragon Firefighters and Barcelona Firefighters, among others, attended the demonstration in Barcelona.
This Spanish invention, 100%, already has the support of companies such as Repsol, Iberdrola or EMT Madrid and is beginning to be implemented in public administrations such as the Provincial Council of Huesca, the Government of Aragon or the Junta de Andalucía.
“We are making significant progress with several public administrations and entities at the provincial and regional levels. I would like to emphasize that EMT (Madrid's Municipal Transport Company) was the first to place its trust in us. But I also want to acknowledge the governments of Aragon, Andalusia, and many other regions with whom we are making progress. It is easier with private companies than with public ones because we demand much greater responsibility from them, and something as serious as the safety of people, animals, and plants requires a relatively lengthy process.”, explains Ibán Moreno, CEO of Simonrack.
DEMONSTRATIONS PERFORMED
- Fire in electrical batteries in warehouse.
In this video, you can see how a pallet deteriorates due to an electrical battery explosion. An uncontrollable fire starts there, until Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting is used, preventing the rest of the pallets from catching fire.
2. House fire.
In the following video, you can see a house fire and how Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting extinguishes it using significantly less liquid than water. Remember that Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting is 40 to 100 times more effective than water and acts 6 to 10 times faster. Furthermore, it requires 8 to 20 times less product than water to extinguish a fire.
3. Heat-affected battery without Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting.
This is what happens to batteries if you don't use Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting:
4. Car with battery remains intact thanks to the use of Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting and leaves a parking lot with a burning car next to it.
THE KEY: PREVENTING THE “DOMINO EFFECT” IN ELECTRIC BATTERIES
On a technical level, Simonrack ECOFIRE Fighting encapsulates fire and smoke with a biodegradable, organic, and non-toxic liquid solution based on cellulose fiber and starch. It creates a thermal barrier that drastically reduces the temperature and stops the fire from spreading, allowing firefighters to work closer to the source without endangering themselves. Its effectiveness is 40 to 100 times greater than water, and it acts 6 to 10 times faster. Furthermore, 8 to 20 times less product is needed than water to extinguish a fire.
In the case of lithium battery fires, the product not only extinguishes the fire, but also prevents the "domino effect" of chain explosions by encapsulating the smoke and toxic gases that typically trigger them. This is vital in environments such as:
- Electric vehicle parking.
- Charging points.
- Factories or logistics centers with electric forklifts.
- Domestic environments with household appliances, mobile phones or scooters.
