Foam extinguishing systems, like sprinkler systems, are permanently installed fire extinguishing systems. They are used for fires involving solid and liquid materials of fire classes A and B and to a limited degree for fires involving gaseous materials of fire class C. To create the foam, a constant percentage quantity of foam compound is added to the water by means of admixing devices. The resulting water/foam mixture is then foamed with air in downstream foam generators

Extinguishing foam is a highly effective and consisting of water, fire extinguishing foam (concentrate) and air. The amount of air defines the type of foam and its properties. Extinguishing foam takes advantage of different extinguishing effects and modifies their properties: cooling, smothering, separating, covering, damming and displacing. Singly or together they ensure fast extinguishing.

A foam fire protection system should be used to protect buildings that contain combustible materials and other hazards that a normal water based fire protection system could not suppress in the event of a fire. The foam system suppresses the fire by separating the fuel from the air. These systems typically inject a concentrated foam mixture into a water based deluge system.

New Systems: Our engineers can help engineer efficient systems, while our experienced installation teams are trained in the latest techniques to get your new system up and running.
