When the serious discussions started around 2010 about high-performance fluorine-free foams (long before we had added the acronyms of SFFF, PFF, FFF or even NFF) one of the common lines we heard from the industry was that foams without fluorochemicals…
Proportioning systems suitable for the transition from AFFF to SFFF fluorine-free concentrates
During the market transition from AFFF to SFFF fluor-free concentrates it is important to know the viscosity of the SFFF concentrate, to choose the right type of proportioner. FIREMIKS is a water-driven volumetric pump proportioner for firefighting – for fixed…
Quo Vadis fluorine free?
You have to take it for granted that fluorinated foam concentrates will not remain on the market for long. Environmental considerations doom their use, and they will have to be replaced by fluorine-free foam concentrates (FFF). For more than 60…
PFAS waste disposal PFAS waste disposal in the fire service – Part 1
Cement kiln incineration offers an environmentally sustainable solution. Class B AFFF (aqueous film-forming foams) contain fluorochemicals now generically known as PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances). Disposal of large volumes of PFAS-contaminated liquid waste remains a major problem, as well as potentially a…
