Batteries
Damage caused by battery fire? AREPA Benelux analyses and restores installations after lithium-ion incidents. Insight into risks, contamination and safe next steps.
Our approach to battery fires
After a battery fire, it is essential to quickly understand the risks and the level of contamination. Our specialists start with an analysis of the situation, looking at damage to installations, possible chemical contamination and risks to people and the environment.
We perform measurements to determine harmful substances, such as fluorine compounds and other corrosive components. We also assess the impact on machinery, electronics and technical systems.
Based on these insights, we advise on necessary measures, such as cleaning, repair or additional safety measures. In this way, we ensure a controlled and safe approach after a battery incident.
Battery fires with focus on safety and continuity
Lithium-ion battery fires can release hazardous substances such as hydrogen fluoride (HF), carbon monoxide and other harmful compounds. These substances can cause serious health risks and lead to corrosion and damage to installations.
In addition, heat, smoke and extinguishing agents can cause additional damage to technical systems, such as short circuits, corrosion and reduced equipment performance.
By purposefully analysing the situation and taking the right measures, we help organisations to manage risks, prevent consequential damage and bring installations back into safe operation.
Why choose AREPA for battery fires?
- Specialist knowledge of lithium-ion batteries and associated risks.
- Understanding chemical pollution such as fluorides and corrosive gases.
- Advice focused on safety, reliability and continuity.
- Experience with complex damage to plant and electronics.
Frequently asked questions
When is specialist analysis needed after a battery fire?
After any incident involving lithium-ion batteries, it is important to have the situation analysed. Damage and contamination are often not immediately visible, but can pose risks to safety and technology.
What risks arise in battery fires?
Battery fires can release heat, smoke and chemicals. This can lead to damage to installations, corrosion of components and health risks for employees.
What is thermal runaway?
Thermal runaway is a process in which a battery continues to heat itself, which can lead to fire or reignition. This makes battery fires complex and difficult to manage.
Is all damage immediately visible?
No. Much damage, such as chemical contamination or corrosion, is not immediately visible. Measurements and analysis are necessary to determine the real impact.
