Methanol Ready

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

These challenges require innovative fire protection solutions.

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
