Fluorine-Free F3 Foam Fire Extinguishing Project

Fluorine-free F3 and alcohol-resistant AR-F3 foam extinguishing, dosing system, foam room, monitor and sprinkler compatibility in flammable liquid facilities.

Technical System Scope

Design, calculation and application details for New Generation F3 Foam Extinguishing

The risk profile of the facility to be protected, hydraulic or mechanical design conditions, equipment selection and field tests are evaluated as a whole. The following subsystems are handled according to the project need.

01 / SYSTEM

F3/AR-F3 foam selection

The risk of hydrocarbon fuel and alcohol and polar solvent fire are separated; The need for alcohol resistant AR-F3 is determined by the product's tested fuel compatibility and certifications.

02 / SYSTEM

PFAS certification

The term F3 describes the class of foams that do not use fluorinated surfactants. The manufacturer's declaration, testing method, and third-party verification of the absence of PFAS are included in the purchase specification.

03 / SYSTEM

Concentrate and mixing ratio

The manufacturer's verified blend percentage (e.g. 1%, 3% or 6%) is used. Tank volume, dosing pump, balance tank and proportioner capacity are calculated specifically for this product.

04 / SYSTEM

Nozzle and discharge method

The foam room, monitor, foam generator, sprinkler or foam sprinkler equipment is evaluated according to documentation compatible with the selected F3 concentrate.

05 / SYSTEM

Hydraulics and application time

The area to be protected and the fire scenario determine the foam solution flow rate, critical pressure, application time and available foam concentrate reserve.

06 / SYSTEM

AFFF to F3 conversion

Cleanliness of existing pipes and tanks, PFAS residue management, product viscosity, dosing calibration and nozzle performance are verified individually.

07 / SYSTEM

Acceptance and standards

EN 1568 concentrate performance, EN 13565-2 fixed foam system design and relevant UL/FM listing or approved testing of the product are checked according to project requirements.

Project Documents

Calculation, equipment and scope of delivery

Current situation discovery, design scenario, equipment list, system layout, application details, material/luminaire selection and relevant calculation reports are prepared.

  • F3/AR-F3 foam selection
  • PFAS certification
  • Concentrate and mixing ratio
  • Nozzle and discharge method
  • Hydraulics and application time
  • AFFF to F3 conversion
  • Acceptance and standards

Depending on the type of project, quantity surveying, technical specifications, test procedure and as-built drawings are also included in the scope of work.

Standardization and Security

Technical conditions and important notices

Instead of 'carbon-free foam' the technical term fluorine-free foam (F3/fluorine-free) should be used. F3 products are not directly interchangeable with AFFF; chemical/equipment compatibility and fire testing documentation required.

The current BYKHY, relevant product and system standards, manufacturer conformity certificates and authorized administration/fire department opinions are verified at the beginning of the design. Fixed flow/pressure/capacity values ​​are not declared without project data.

Discovery inputs and engineering deliverables

In the F3 Foam Extinguishing study, the following information can be shared at the first meeting. Field detection or additional calculation requirements for missing data are determined separately. Preparation of documents does not automatically guarantee acceptance by the relevant institution or a particular test result.

Frequently asked questions

How to prepare a quote for F3 Foam Extinguishing?

The district of the facility, its usage style and the requested service, as well as protected material and special risk information are shared. Account, project, application and test items are separated in the written scope.

Will existing drawings be sufficient?

The drawings are compared with the field. If there are revisions, changes in use, and missing equipment information, their impact on the account or project is examined.

What documents are submitted?

Project principles and agent/equipment compatibility control, dosage and installation layout and other documents included in the scope of work are delivered. The file format and revision scope are determined at the outset.

Is fixed capacity used for each facility?

No. Usage, system structure and field data are different. Numerical values ​​cannot be applied to all facilities without verifying the relevant calculation and method.

Are implementation and control the same scope?

Project planning, assembly, field inspection and testing tasks are defined separately. The proposal states which party is responsible for which work.

From which regions do you receive requests for exploration?

Requests from Çorlu, Ergene, Kapaklı and Tekirdağ are evaluated from our Çerkezköy center. The time and conditions of the field visit are decided separately.
