Full Circle Lithium's FCL-X™ Proves Unmatched in Extinguishing Industrial Lithium Battery Fires
Event summary
- Full Circle Lithium's FCL-X™ successfully extinguished multiple lithium battery fire types at a live demonstration in Fort McMurray, Alberta, with zero re-ignition.
- The event was attended by major oilsands operators, national railway representatives, local fire departments, and health and safety professionals.
- FCL-X™ is the only technology proven to quickly and completely extinguish lithium battery fires across a wide spectrum of battery types used in heavy industry.
- Full Circle Lithium is now in active sales discussions with multiple regional operators and fire services.
The big picture
The successful demonstration of FCL-X™ comes at a critical time as the oilsands sector rapidly expands its use of lithium-ion batteries for electrification and backup power. The technology addresses a growing safety concern, as thermal runaway incidents in industrial settings pose severe risks to personnel and infrastructure. With no other global solution capable of fully extinguishing these fires, FCL-X™ positions Full Circle Lithium as a key player in industrial safety innovation.
