Foam Fire Suppression Systems are the ideal solution for fire protection of flammable liquids. For years, foam has been used as a fire extinguishing medium for flammable and combustible liquids. Unlike other extinguishing agents such as water, dry chemical, CO2, etc., a stable aqueous foam can extinguish a flammable or combustible liquid fire by the combined mechanism of cooling, separating the flame/ignition source from the product surface, suppressing vapors and smothering. It can also secure against re-flash or reignition for extended periods of time. Water, if used on a standard hydrocarbon fuel, is heavier than most of those liquids and if applied directly to the fuel surface, will sink to the bottom, having little or no effect on extinguishment or vapor suppression. If the liquid fuel heats above 212°F, the water may boil below the fuel surface throwing the fuel out of the contained area and spreading the fire to nearby areas. For this reason, foam is the primary fire-extinguishing agent for all potential hazards or areas where flammable liquids are transported, processed, stored or used as an energy source.
