AEL FSC™ Series: Engineered Systems for Hazardous & Controlled Environments
Purpose-Built Flammable Storage Containment for Class 1A, 1B, and 1C Liquids.
To build smarter systems and spaces — faster, safer, and stronger.
Advanced Extraction Labs (AEL) Flammable Storage Containment units are purpose-built, industrial enclosures designed to isolate, ventilate, and physically separate flammable liquids and hazardous chemicals from personnel and adjacent operations. Engineered for uncompromising safety and regulatory compliance, the FSC™ Series provides secure containment for Class 1A, 1B, and 1C flammable liquids. Available in both 1-hour and 2-hour fire-rated configurations, our systems deliver the structural integrity required to protect your facility, your team, and your assets.
Unyielding Construction & Design
The foundation of the AEL FSC™ Series is uncompromising structural strength. Each unit is constructed with a heavy-duty steel enclosure featuring corrugated steel walls and robust structural framing. The exterior is protected by a marine-grade white coating designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, while the interior features a white powder-coated, non-combustible finish.
To ensure operational safety, the units incorporate an industrial epoxy floor system and are equipped with personnel or double equipment doors utilizing panic hardware. Forklift pockets are integrated for secure placement and relocation, and all units display prominent NFPA flammable hazard diamond signage.
Certified Fire-Rated Configurations
Compliance and containment are critical when storing hazardous materials. The FSC™ Series is available in two specialized configurations to meet strict fire codes and separation requirements:
- 1-Hour Fire-Rated Version: Features a 1-hour fire-resistance-rated wall and ceiling assembly, providing essential protection for standard industrial applications.
- 2-Hour Fire-Rated Version: Utilizes a 2-hour fire-resistance-rated wall and ceiling assembly constructed with fire-resistant, gypsum-based materials. This advanced fire-rated construction is specifically intended to limit fire spread beyond the enclosure and support critical hazard isolation.
Advanced Ventilation & Fire Protection
Safeguarding against volatile fumes and ignition sources requires active mitigation systems. The AEL FSC™ Series comes standard with mechanical ventilation powered by an explosion-resistant exhaust fan, paired with weather-protected intake and exhaust openings to maintain safe internal atmospheric conditions.
For active fire suppression, dry chemical systems are provided as standard equipment. Facilities requiring enhanced protection can opt for Stat-X® or alternative clean-agent fire suppression upgrades, ensuring rapid response without collateral equipment damage.
Industrial Electrical & Controls
Operational reliability is managed through a comprehensive industrial electrical distribution system. Each unit features a NEMA-rated outdoor control enclosure housing relay-based safety and ventilation controls. To ensure immediate awareness during critical events, the systems are equipped with visual and audible alarms, alongside facility alarm interface capabilities (provided by others) for seamless integration into existing building management systems.
Common Applications
The AEL FSC™ Series is engineered for versatility across high-risk sectors. Common applications include:
- Flammable liquid storage and staging
- Chemical storage and active dispensing operations
- Hazardous waste accumulation and storage
- Industrial facilities requiring code-conscious physical separation
Compliance Notice
Advanced Extraction Labs provides UL-certified, safe, and compliant hazardous location enclosures. However, final code compliance, permitting, and operational acceptance remain the responsibility of the Owner and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). This system is not represented as a turnkey compliance solution without appropriate local engineering review.
