description

A firefighting foam is a stable mass of small, air-filled bubbles having lower density than oil, gasoline, or water. Fire suppression foam comprises of three parts: foam concentrate, water, and air. When mixed correctly, these parts form a homogeneous foam blanket that extinguishes flames by the combined mechanisms of cooling.

Foam fire suppression system

A firefighting foam is a stable mass of small, air-filled bubbles having lower density than oil, gasoline, or water. Fire suppression foam comprises of three parts: foam concentrate, water, and air. When mixed correctly, these parts form a homogeneous foam blanket that extinguishes flames by the combined mechanisms of cooling, separating the flame source from the product surface, suppressing vapours, and smothering. This makes foam fire suppression systems an effective option for protecting flammable and combustible liquids.

RE-HEALING FoamEnvironmentally sustainable fluorine-free foam is used for Class B Fires.An advance addition to fire fighting foams- RE-HEALING foam concentrates are fluorosurfactant and fluoropolymer-free products.Formulated by using high performance synthetic foam concentrate technology, RE-HEALING foam is designed to replace the traditional AFFF and AR-AFFF foam concentrates and Fluor-Protein foams.

ARCTIC FoamAqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) and Aqueous Film Forming Foam – Alcohol Type Concentrate (AFFF/ATC) are also used in class b fires.The ARCTIC foam concentrates does not contain PFOS and are formulated after keeping safety and performance in mind.

Fire breaking FoamEnvironmentally sustainable wildland urban interface foam concentrate is used for Class A fires.FIRE-BREAK foam concentrate makes “water wetter”, providing faster water penetration into the flammable substance and controlled foam expansion for maximum Class A extinguishing performance. It is also an essential water management tool. With the proper hardware and FIRE-BRAKE foam concentrate, a water supply can be expanded by at least 10 times its volume.FIRE-BRAKE foam concentrate is designed and applied to Class A fires including wood, paper, coal, and rubber.

System Tanks storageSystem Tanks stores the foam concentrate. A variety of System Tanks ranging from vertical to horizontal, pre-piped, atmospheric, and stainless steel is available in the market. Foam pump skids are also used as system tanks

Foam Proportion measuring DevicesProportioning Devices releases the proper amount of concentrate into the water supply based on the solution required. These devices are sized differently based on the range of flow rates and pressures, while minimizing pressure loss, thus allowing the right concentration of foam to flow..

Foam Discharging DevicesWhether you need air aspirating, non-aspirating or water sprinkler nozzles compatible with any kinds of foams, a discharging tool is for all. Other tools used for foam fire suppression system are monitors, foam makers, handline nozzles and everything in between.

Mixing Foam Systems with Water

A foam fire supression system requires proportioning equipment to mix the foam with water in the required concentration. Automatic pressure balancing valves regulate the foam concentrate pressure to match the water pressure.
