for the Next Generation of Foam Fire Suppression

The special hazard market for fire suppression systems grows larger every day. Until now, few if any options existed that effectively addressed multiple small-to-medium size fires while keeping costs affordable as well as minimizing the impact on people and the environment.

Fortunately, the patented FM approved groundbreaking Compressed Air Foam fire suppression technology from ACAF Systems, Inc. is on the verge of changing the way numerous industries cope with the inevitable risk of fire, such as:

Oil & Gas

Fuel facilities from off-shore platforms to refineries, pumping stations, storage tanks and receiving stations all possess potentially significant fire hazards, often complicated by the need to reach challenging locations in far flung and isolated areas.

Industrial / Manufacturing

The heavy machinery required to process and transport materials used in iron and steel production, for example, is subject to some of the most severe conditions in any industry. Temperatures reaching 2000° F introduce tremendous fire hazards to equipment and personnel. Most manufacturing processes also often involve the use of highly flammable materials.

Marine

Ships at sea – whether recreational or commercial – present a considerable challenge for fire protection, with a variety of hazardous situations, from engine rooms to galleys to cargo spaces.

Mining

Underground or on the surface, this is a multifaceted industry with significant fire protection challenges, using large, expensive, off-road vehicles and heavy processing equipment that often run around the clock in out-of-the-way and virtually inaccessible locations.

Aviation

Extreme environments call for extremely efficient fire suppression equipment to protect aerospace engines, fuel tanks, main landing gear, auxiliary power units, and much more. On-board and shore-based situations, as well as the typically common flammable, hazardous, and fire accelerating materials found in and around most aircraft, create an enormous potential for fire-related crises. CAF is currently used on helipads and aircraft hangers.

Military

Whether on land, water, or in the skies above, the mission-crucial equipment, permanent or mobile facilities, and personnel are at great risk from a wide range of combustible, flammable, and electrical materials that can result in fire hazard situations. These conditions demand easy-to-operate and versatile fire suppression systems that can be effortlessly transported and readily available at a moment’s notice.
