WORLD LEADER IN RAPID FIRE EXTINGUISHING & PREVENTION
OUR GOAL IS TO EXTINGUISH FIRES AND TO MINIMISE THE RISK TO LIFE SAFE AND QUICKLY WITH FIRE SAND
FIRE SAND in a nutshell
"FIRE SAND ensures rapid extinguishing of HYDROCARBON FIRES that can't reignite"
At Excel Fire Group, we have developed the worlds first Fire Sand that is particularly suited for Hydrocarbon Fires amongst other things. Our unique Fire Sand is non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive, environmentally friendly, derived from nature itself and is also a natural fire retardant and to top it all off, it's 100% FOOD GRADE. (edible)
Hydrocarbons that include petrol, diesel, crude oil, oil or any carbon or petroleum-based liquid. Using our Fire Sand, being water-resistant it sits on top of the water and ONLY absorbs the hydrocarbon either on fire or not.
Once this is absorbed into the Fire Sand this increases the weight and becomes heavier that’s the water itself and actually drags the hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon fire below the waterline.
In the case where the hydrocarbon is ignited, we showcase the 3 fire fighting principals to extinguish a fire, Saturation (Fuel), Smothering (Oxygen) and Cooling (Temperature). Our Fire Sand performs all three of these principals in ONE step. We saturate the fire both with Fire Sand and with the CO2 that dissipates from it. We smother the fire by removing the oxygen by the liberation of CO2 and we cool the temperature by dragging the hydrocarbon soaked Fire Sand to the bottom of the water with NO chance of reigniting.
Keep in mind that all this is done with a non-toxic, food-grade product. Safe, simple and far superior to anything else. That’s FIRE SAND.
FIRE SAND IS NON TOXIC, NON FLAMABLE, NON HAZARDOUS, ENVIROMENTALLY FRIENDLY & WATER RESITANT
A 1200 DEGREE CELSIUS FIRE OF DIESEL AND PETROL MIX AND FIRE SAND PUTS IT OUT IN 15 SECONDS
FIRE SAND fire testing
"FIRE SAND ensures rapid extinguishing of HYDROCARBON FIRES that can't reignite"
To demonstrate the unique abilities of our Fire Sand, we put Fire Sand to the test at the Tasmania Fire Services in Cambridge, Tasmania. Using their hydrocarbon tank measuring 2.5m x 2.5m square, the demonstration was a massive success in a very dramatic way to the sceptical onlookers that included Fire Fighters, Engineers, Staff and others.
Before the demonstrations, we noticed that the tank had a lot oil and waste hydrocarbon floating on top of the water. Another 10 litres of diesel and petrol was added to the tank, petroleum for its low flashpoint and the diesel for a slow burn and to raise the temperature. The fire was ignited and left to burn for almost 12 minutes, allowing the test fire temperature come to almost 1200 degrees Celsius whilst bellowing out thick black smoke.
Using our FENIKS 50 Fire Fighting Machine pumping out our Fire Sand we were able to completely extinguish the blaze just under 15 seconds. The official onlookers were amazed, and to make sure that the fire could not reignite, 6 attempts were made by them to reignite the fire again with no success at all.
The firefighters watching could see the Fire Sand soaking up the oil, petrol and diesel mix and watched it drag the ignited hydrocarbons under the water. This was all done with non toxic and non corrosive chemicals.
With the development of our Fire Sand, Feniks Global Enterprise is able to offer specialised Industries a multi-level approach to suit many applications and safety benefits that are currently unavailable worldwide.
Please see details below:
1. MANUAL SCALE: This would involve the manual use of our Fire Sand in a bag or bucket for certain specialised applications such as car accidents. It was mentioned on the day of our demonstration, that every fire truck should carry up to 10 x 20Kg bags on board for the use of small spills. This would be useful when attending to a car accident and fuels and oils are flowing out. Not only would Fire Sand contain the hydrocarbons in its tracks, it would also act as a fire barrier. If a fire was to occur the release of CO2 from the Fire Sand would aid in suppressing the fire. This manual scale would only be useful for the spreading of our Fire Sand by hand on any hydrocarbon spill.
2. SMALL SCALE: This would involve the use of our newly developed Stainless Steel, refillable, portable, fire extinguisher style backpack unit that has the ability to run off the fire truck compressors and would have a range of about 5 meters. This would also bring to life our FENIKS 5 Machine being the Worlds First Refillable Fire Extinguisher style that runs off compressed air opening up huge benefits and applications around the world for Fire Safety.
3. MEDIUM SCALE: This would involve the use of our FENIKS 10, FENIKS 20 or FENIKS 50 with our new C3 (Containment, Cooling and Collection) Package attached for the aid in firefighting, spills, containment and many other potential applications.
