Envirotec Controls (Asia Pacific) Reinforces Strategic Partnership with Aquasys Technik GmbH to Expand Safety Solutions in Singapore

Envirotec Controls (Asia Pacific) has reaffirmed its strategic partnership with Aquasys Technik GmbH, the Austrian-based global leader in High-Pressure Water Mist fire suppression technology, signalling a renewed commitment to delivering world-class safety solutions in Singapore with Singapore becoming a hub with successful installations.

The renewed alliance marks a significant step forward in both organisations' regional growth strategies, with Singapore serving as the primary hub for expanded operations and service delivery.

Strengthening Regional Capability

As part of the refreshed partnership structure, Envirotec Controls (Asia Pacific) has established a dedicated team to champion Aquasys Technik GmbH's competencies in the region. A newly assembled team focused on delivering Aquasys's technically advanced fire suppression systems to clients in Singapore, with Singapore becoming a hub with successful installations

The partnership draws on a longstanding foundation of collaboration, complementary expertise, and a shared commitment to safety excellence. Envirotec Controls (Asia Pacific) brings to the alliance its deep regional knowledge and an established toxic gas management protocol and philosophy, accepted by local stakeholders since 2013, that continues to underpin its advisory and implementation work across critical industries.

Aquasys Technik GmbH: Technology at the Forefront of Fire Suppression

Founded in Austria and a pioneer in High-Pressure Water Mist (HPWM) technology since 1993, Aquasys Technik GmbH is recognised globally as a leader in innovative, sustainable fire protection systems. The company's systems are the product of continuous research and development, rigorous fire testing, and close collaboration with fire safety institutes, universities, and regulatory bodies worldwide.

The HPWM system operates by driving water at high pressure through precision-engineered stainless steel nozzles, reducing droplet size to just 50–200 micrometres. This produces an extremely fine mist that simultaneously absorbs heat energy, displaces oxygen in the fire zone, suppresses smoke, and washes out toxic gases, achieving highly effective fire suppression while consuming up to 75% less water than conventional sprinkler systems.

The system's performance credentials are extensive. All components in contact with water are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance, longevity, and minimal maintenance requirements. The technology is suitable for a broad range of fire scenarios, including solid, liquid, cable, and high-voltage fires, and can be integrated into new builds or retrofitted into existing facilities with minimal disruption.

Aquasys Technik GmbH's global project portfolio demonstrates the system's proven capability across the most demanding environments. Notable deployments include the 32.8 km Koralmtunnel in Europe, a critical railway corridor where the HPWM system was engineered to operate safely alongside high-voltage train catenary of up to 65kV, verified through extensive testing at Graz University of Technology. The company has also developed tailored suppression systems for high-speed rail vehicles, industrial production facilities, and transformer stations across multiple continents, with a growing presence in the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.

In tunnel and rail applications, the HPWM system's ambient cooling effect, smoke suppression, and toxic gas washout capabilities play a critical role in supporting safe evacuation, enabling emergency services access, and protecting infrastructure from structural damage, factors that can prevent operational shutdowns lasting months. For data centres, the system offers a harmless, residue-free alternative to chemical suppression agents, protecting sensitive equipment without risk to personnel or the environment.

Aquasys has also received recognition as a fire protection system installer by VdS — a confirmation of the company's high competence and reliability in the planning, installation, and maintenance of fire extinguishing systems, and its commitment to the highest safety standards in fire protection.

Targeted Sectors for Regional Deployment

The Envirotec Controls and Aquasys Technik GmbH partnership will focus on delivering integrated fire suppression and safety solutions across the following critical infrastructure sectors in Singapore, and the wider Asia Pacific region:

• Backup electric battery fire and outage protection

• Tunnel safety systems

• Gas scrubbing solutions

• Train and transit safety

• Incineration plant safety

• Data centre protection

• Transformer safety systems

These sectors represent some of the fastest-growing areas of safety investment in the region, driven by rapid infrastructure development, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and the growing complexity of industrial and urban environments.

Looking Ahead

Envirotec Controls (Asia Pacific) will be making further announcements in the coming weeks regarding new strategic alliances, including collaborations involving Ezra and Macquarie Group. These developments reflect the company's ongoing commitment to assembling a best-in-class partner ecosystem capable of addressing the region's most complex and critical safety challenges.
