ANSUL Foam Fire Suppression Systems

Complete Installation, Repair & Testing Services in the Houston, Texas Area

If your business or organization has operations involving the processing or handling of flammable liquids, a traditional water-based fire sprinkler system may not be enough to protect your space from fires. Not only are these spaces typically much larger, and therefore harder to protect, but fires may involve fuels or other flammable liquids that water won’t extinguish when in flames.

For these situations, ANSUL foam fire suppression systems are ideal. Kauffman Co. is a leading Houston-area fire protection company that provides full service on ANSUL foam fire suppression systems.  We offer inspection, testing, repair, and installation, as well as 24/7 emergency service.

Where to Install ANSUL Foam Fire Suppression Systems

Since fires from many flammable liquids cannot be controlled with a traditional sprinkler system, foam systems suppress fires by separating the fuel from the air (oxygen). The main fire-fighting agent, Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFF), is based on a combination of fluoro-chemical surfactants, hydrocarbon surfactants, and solvents.

ANSUL foam fire suppression systems require very low energy input to produce a high-quality firefighting foam. As a result, they can be delivered through a wide variety of systems. They are the obvious choice for businesses throughout Texas in the following industries:

• Aircraft hangars
• Airports
• Jet engine test facilities
• Manufacturing plants
• Marine facilities
• Municipal fire departments
• Refineries
• Storage facilities

ANSUL Foam Fire Suppression System Installation

Our certified, trained fire protection services technicians can also install or replace any ANSUL foam fire suppression system. We will work to design and install an efficient and reliable system and bladder tank to protect your business and valuables from a fire emergency.

Types of ANSUL Foam Agents

Your ANSUL foam fire suppression system will have a foam agent held in the bladder tank that expands when extinguished. A fire protection technician will help you determine which agent is best for your use and facility, but here are those offered with ANSUL systems:

• Class B Polar Solvents (AR-AFFF) – most effective on hydrocarbon fuels, methanol, ethanol, and acetone
• Class B Hydrocarbons (AFFF) – agent of choice for airports, manufacturing plants, and fire departments
• Class A, B & LNG Fires High-Expansion Foam – ideal for aircraft hangers, flammable liquid storage, and LNG facilities
• Class A Foam Agents – makes water more effective for controlling combustible materials like wood, paper, coal, rubber, and plastics
• Fluoroprotein Foam – mostly used in refineries and petrochemical facilities
• Protein Foam – mostly used in refineries and petrochemical facilities
• TARGET-7 Vapor Suppression – a neutralizing agent that lessens dangerous vapor release from a spill
• Training Foam 3% or 6% – not intended for live or actual fire training
