Water Mist Systems by ATC
Antar Al Gharbiya Trading Company (ATC) is the authorized Hydrocore agent in Saudi Arabia. We deliver high-pressure water mist fire suppression systems that absorb heat rapidly and use far less water than conventional sprinklers.
We design, supply, install and maintain the system for projects in Jeddah, Riyadh and Makkah, and coordinate it with the fire alarm system and the wider building services scope.
System pressure, nozzle selection and spacing are determined by the protected risk and the approved design criteria.
What Is a Water Mist System and How Does It Work?
Water is pumped at high pressure through precision nozzles and atomized into very fine droplets. These droplets absorb the heat of the fire and evaporate quickly, cooling the space and controlling the fire with minimal water damage to the contents.
Cool
Fine droplets absorb heat rapidly and cool the flame, hot gases and nearby surfaces.
Suppress
Water vapor forms close to the flame, helping to interrupt combustion locally.
Shield
The mist reduces radiant heat and captures smoke particles, supporting safer evacuation.
Advantages over Conventional Sprinklers
Where Are Water Mist Systems Used?
Tunnels
Road, metro and cable tunnels, where heat builds quickly and evacuation is difficult.
Data Centers
Protecting sensitive equipment with minimal water.
Museums & Archives
Protecting collections and manuscripts from fire and water damage.
Hospitals
Protecting buildings that cannot be evacuated quickly.
Hotels
Protecting guests and property with minimal damage to finishes.
Power Substations
Protecting transformers and electrical equipment rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a water mist fire system the same as an outdoor misting system?
No. A water mist fire suppression system is an engineered fire protection system, while outdoor misting systems are used for cooling only.
Is water mist safe for electronic equipment and data centers?
It is used in data centers because it discharges only a small amount of water.
Is water mist suitable for museums and manuscripts?
Yes. It uses less water and causes less water damage than conventional sprinklers.
Who is the authorized Hydrocore agent in Saudi Arabia?
Antar Al Gharbiya Trading Company (ATC).
