Foam deluge and foam sprinkler systems are utilised to protect specialist risks involving the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. Examples of occupancies where foam systems may be used include:

• Storage tank protection
• Warehouse storage of flammable and combustible liquids
• Aircraft hangars
• Heliports
• Truck loading areas

How Does Fire Fighting
Foam Work?
Fire fighting foams suppress fire by forming a blanket across the surface of the liquid fuel and separating it from the air (oxygen) that it needs to burn. In addition to smothering the fire the foam blanket also cools the fuel and suppresses the release of flammable vapours.

Types of Fire Fighting Foam
There are several different types of foam to suit a wide range of applications and fuel types. Argus’s engineering and design team would be happy to discuss your needs with you to ensure that the best solution is offered to meet your specific requirements.
