Foam Fire Suppression Sprinkler Systems

Some of the common uses include:
• Aircraft hangars
• Warehouses
• Marine applications
• Processing areas
• Flammable liquid storage
• Jet engine testing facilities
The reason that this type of system is most commonly used in these applications is because of the widespread capabilities of foam to not only extinguish but also smother flames in a way that prevents reignition.
A foam fire suppression system is a type of wet sprinkler system that combines both water and a foaming agent for large scale fire extinguishment.
This water-based fire sprinkler suppression system can extinguish extensive fires in mere seconds with incredible efficiency.
The “foam” in foam fire suppression systems is an extinguishing agent that can extinguish flammable or combustible liquid by cooling and separating the ignition source from the surface. The foam suppresses and smothers fire and vapors alike. It can also prevent reignition. It is also known as “firefighting foam.”
