Foam Deluge Systems: Real Protection for High-Risk Areas
Not all fires can be suppressed using water. Particularly in high-risk areas such as oil storage tanks, chemical factories, or airplane hangars, fires spread in the matter of seconds—and a solution that performs at the same speed is what’s required.
That’s where the foam deluge system comes into play.
Here at AITS, we install and design foam deluge systems that respond immediately to suppress potentially devastating fires before they gain the upper hand. As an approved DCD fire fighting company holding A-grade status, we know how much is riding on a functioning system—and we’ll ensure your system is on call when you need it most.
What is a Foam Deluge System?
Consider it an on-high-alarm fire suppression system.
A foam deluge system does not wait. As soon as a fire is discovered, it inundates the whole area with a mixture of water and foam—blanketing the fire, starving it of oxygen, and preventing it from spreading. It’s made for places where there are flammable liquids, where regular sprinklers will not work.
This system is typically found in:
- Fuel storage facilities
- Petrochemical facilities
- Power plants
- Marine docking facilities
- Aircraft hangers
- Heavy industrial environments
Why Foam? Why Not Just Water?
When oil or chemicals catch fire, water by itself won’t do. Water can, in fact, make the situation worse and spread the liquid. Foam acts by engulfing the fire entirely, starving it of oxygen and reducing the surface temperature to slow down the flames immediately. It prevents the fire from re-igniting.
How Does It Work?
Here’s a quick rundown:
- Detection: The system’s sensors (flame or heat-based) detect a fire.
- Activation: Upon activation, the system activates the deluge valve, and a combination of water and foam concentrate is circulated through the piping system.
- Coverage: The foam is discharged through open nozzles to cover all the area.
- Suppression: The foam quickly extinguishes the fire, depriving it of fuel and preventing further spread.
The whole process is done in seconds—since seconds are all you get in an actual emergency.
