Foam is used for extinguishing flammable liquid chemicals or fuels. Depending on their chemical properties, there are various types of foam, including protein-based, synthetic-based, film-forming, and alcohol-resistant foams. Foam fire suppression systems can be designed to operate automatically or manually. Foam is commonly used in fire suppression systems such as foam sprinkler systems, foam fire hose cabinets, tank fire protection systems, foam monitor systems, and foam generators. Foam fire suppression systems are widely used in tank farms, petrochemical plants, ports, fuel transfer stations, and aircraft hangars.
