HI-FOG is the world's leading water mist fire protection technology, originally developed by Marioff Corporation for use on passenger ships, but now protecting an increasing range of land-based applications.

HI-FOG is an innovative fire protection technology utilizing high pressure to produce a fine water mist with average drop size of 50 - 120 µm. HI-FOG combines the extinguishing characteristics of water with the penetrative qualities of gases with no danger to people or the environment.

Application specific HI-FOG systems have been proved to be successful, for example, in protecting machinery spaces, turbine enclosures, underground railways, computer rooms, hotels, office and heritage buildings, offshore platforms and vessels. HI-FOG is the solution of choice especially for applications where superior fire suppression performance, easy installation and minimal water damage are key benefits.

Over 5,000 full scale fire tests testify to the effectiveness of HI-FOG systems. The systems are engineered to meet IMO and NFPA 750 specifications.

HI-FOG fire protection technology provides safety for people, property and the environment in many different applications. It is backed-up by a dedicated team whose one aim is to provide satisfaction for the customer.

Applications for water misting

HI-FOG is the world's leading water mist fire protection technology. HI-FOG systems are being installed on over half the new cruise ships and luxury ferries being built around the world.

But now the technology is moving onto land. Approved HI-FOG systems protect turbines and machinery spaces for the largest energy companies in the world. Madrid and London underground railway systems use
HI-FOG to protect their special fire risks. Insurance companies, banks and leading telecom and internet service providers trust HI-FOG systems to protect valuable computer equipment from fire and smoke damage. HI-FOG sprinkler systems also protect hotels, offices and museums, as well as historic and heritage buildings.

Conventional low pressure water spray or sprinkler systems can cause considerable water damage, often greater than the direct fire damage. Low pressure systems can be difficult to install, especially in retrofit projects. Gaseous systems are unsuitable for many risks because of the difficulty of ensuring enclosure integrity, high recharge costs and the personnel and environmental safety issues associated with certain gases.

HI-FOG system on its minimum performance is equal, but often better than conventional fire protection systems, such as sprinklers or gases. Since HI-FOG suppresses fire with minimal water discharge, the protected facility or equipment is not damaged and clean-up time and costs are negligible. Pipe sizes are small, making installation easy and fast, particularly in retrofits. HI-FOG uses just pure water, making it totally safe for people, equipment and the environment. HI-FOG is an ideal choice for most land-based fire protection applications.
