Foam fire suppression systems

SANCO foam fire suppression systems provide a technologically advanced solution for the effective protection of industrial environments where flammable liquids and hydrocarbons are present.

Their extinguishing principle is based on generating a homogeneous and stable foam, created by combining water, concentrated foam liquid and air.

This foam forms an insulating blanket capable of smothering flames by separating the fuel from the oxidizer (i.e., the oxygen in the air), cooling burning surfaces and preventing re-ignition.

This technology is essential to protect assets and infrastructure in scenarios where a flammable liquid fire requires rapid and uniform coverage and cooling, even under the most critical conditions.

The versatility of these systems makes them ideal for safeguarding industrial areas, warehouses, hydrocarbon storage tanks and confined spaces such as hangars, tunnels and underground storage facilities.

SANCO designs complete solutions in various configurations:

  • Low and Medium Expansion Systems: Based on deluge and sprinkler installations, ideal for protecting industrial areas, warehouses and tanks
  • High Expansion Systems: Using large volumes of foam, designed to protect large, confined spaces and storage areas that require rapid saturation

To ensure maximum installation flexibility, we also provide our systems in mobile or “plug-and-play” versions, mounted on bases or in containers.
