How Foam Systems Work
How Foam Fire Suppression Systems Work
Understanding the mechanical process behind foam fire suppression systems and why they're the most effective solution for flammable liquid fires.
1. Fire Detection
Advanced fire detection systems automatically detect flames or heat, triggering the foam suppression system within seconds of fire occurrence.
2. Foam Generation
Water mixes with foam concentrate in precise proportions (typically 1-6%) to create foam solution, which is then expanded into fire-fighting foam.
3. Foam Discharge
Foam is discharged through specialized nozzles, creating an expanding foam blanket that covers the fuel surface and suppresses fire.
4. Fire Suppression
The foam blanket separates fuel from oxygen, cooling the surface and preventing vapor release, effectively extinguishing the fire and preventing re-ignition.
Foam Fire Suppression System Components
Complete range of foam fire suppression equipment for various industrial applications and hazard types.
Foam Proportioning System
Precision foam proportioning systems that automatically mix water with foam concentrate at the correct ratio. Available in balanced pressure, pressure proportioning, and around-the-pump proportioning configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about foam fire suppression systems and our services.
What is foam fire suppression and how does it work?
Foam fire suppression systems use a mixture of water, foam concentrate, and air to create a foam blanket that covers flammable liquids. The foam suppresses fire by separating the fuel from oxygen, cooling the surface, and preventing vapor release that could cause re-ignition.
What types of fires can foam systems extinguish?
Foam systems are most effective against Class B fires (flammable liquids like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and chemicals). Some foam types can also be effective on Class A fires (ordinary combustibles) and certain alcohol-based fuels with alcohol-resistant foam (AR-AFFF).
How much does a foam fire suppression system cost in the Philippines?
System costs vary depending on the protected area size, hazard type, foam concentrate selection, and system complexity. A basic system for a small warehouse might start at ₱500,000, while large industrial installations can range from ₱2-10 million or more. Contact us for a detailed quotation.
Is foam fire suppression system compliant with Philippine fire codes?
Yes, our foam fire suppression systems are designed and installed in compliance with Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) requirements, NFPA 11 standards, and local fire codes. All systems undergo proper testing and certification before commissioning.
How often should foam systems be maintained and tested?
Foam systems require monthly visual inspections, quarterly operational tests, and annual comprehensive testing including foam concentrate quality analysis. We provide complete maintenance programs to ensure your system remains compliant and operational.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency support for foam systems?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency support for all our foam fire suppression systems. Our technical team is available around the clock for emergency repairs, system troubleshooting, and urgent maintenance needs throughout Metro Manila and key provinces.
