The ACAF-PFS Fire Suppression Group designs, manufacturers and distributes the ACAF® Automatic Compressed Air Foam systems which are used for special hazard flammable liquid fire protection systems.

ACAF® Automatic Fire Suppression Systems are proven to effectively suppress flammable liquid fires in commercial, industrial and hazardous environments. They are engineered to meet and exceed the most stringent industry standards. ACAF®Systems perform when and where they are needed!

At the heart of each ACAF® system is the world renowned, Compressed Air Foam Generator. This generator creates a unique, non-toxic, biodegradable foam, from a foam-water solution. Pressurized Nitrogen is used to create the compressed air foam (CAF) and to power the system.

Systems use lower water flow and pressure as compared to traditional foam water systems, thus our systems may be designed for applications with as much as 75 % less water demand.

The specially designed and patented valve assembly creates the CAF upon activation and maintains control of the system. The result is an expanded foam material that consists of small uniform bubbles.

Systems are available in either a self-contained or fixed water supply configuration;
