Full Circle Lithium Corp. (FCL), a USA-based lithium-ion specialty firefighting agent manufacturer, is pleased to announce that FCL and US Fire Pump Company, LLC (USFP) have conducted several large lithium-ion battery fire demonstrations using FCL’s lithium-ion battery fire-extinguishing agent FCL-X™.
These collaborations have culminated in the creation of two emergency response vehicles, the lithium response vehicle (LRV) and lithium response trailer (LRT), to efficiently and effectively apply FCL-X in commercial, municipal, and industrial settings, as well as for potential use by first responders.
The LRV, a groundbreaking solution, was developed to enhance the response to lithium-ion battery fires. The LRT offers a different application variant to provide more flexible coverage based on response needs. Both platforms are designed for municipal, commercial, and industrial settings, ensuring the efficient application of our groundbreaking FCL-X suite of products.
FCL and USFP collaborated on a demonstration at a major automotive manufacturing (OEM) facility, successfully extinguishing one electric vehicle (EV) fire and two EV battery fires using the LRV and LRT. The demonstration highlighted the impressive performance of the new FCL-X ProMAX lithium-ion battery extinguishment product solution. The FCL-X ProMAX, when batch-mixed in the booster tanks, quickly suppressed the thermal runaway and extinguished the EV and battery fires, which had been provided by the OEM, all while maintaining a 30-gallons-per-minute (GPM) discharge flow rate.
Carlos Vicens, CEO and Founder of FCL, said, “The partnership between FCL and USFP is gaining momentum in delivering FCL-X products into the hands of end-users. With the introduction of the LRV and LRT, we believe we have an edge on the agent itself and a competitive edge over any other players in the industry on how the product is applied in real-life situations.”
“Using FCL-X products, in conjunction with the LRT and LRV solutions, US Fire Pump continues to lead the industry with its advanced firefighting solutions, driven by a commitment to innovation and the highest safety standards. Our focus is always on exceptional performance, using cutting-edge tools needed to tackle even the most challenging incidents,” said Chris Ferrara, Founder & President of USFP.
