A new challenge for shipping –
Minimax is ready for the methanol revolution
!

In order to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions, more and more shipowners are turning to methanol as an alternative marine fuel.


 

Methanol is considered:

  • The marine fuel of the future

  • Significantly cleaner and lower in emissions than fossil fuels


However, its use brings with it new risks:

  • Invisible flame

  • Rapid spread of fire
  • Low flash point

Our solution: High-pressure water mist with fluorine-free foam agent

Minimax has developed a new high-pressure water mist extinguishing system – specifically for use in methanol fires:

  • Successfully tested in fire tests in accordance with IMO 1165
  • Future-proof and environmentally friendly fire protection thanks to fluorine-free foam concentrate
  • Protects dual propulsion systems as well as pure methanol propulsion systems
  • Fast firefighting with low water consumption

Minifog marine XP:

Proven system, new application

Specially developed for shipping, Minifog marine XP now also meets the fire protection requirements for methanol as the fuel of the future at sea thanks to a new fluorine-free foaming agent.
