Fire Fighting Foam Containment
•Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) solution
is used extensively in fire suppression
systems for aviation facilities and fire
training facilities. AFFF systems are proven
and essential to protect these valuable,
mission essential aircraft and hangar
facilities. AFFF consists of fluorosurfactant
(PFAS), hydrocarbon surfactants, solvents,
inorganic salts, corrosion inhibitors, and
water.

New generation AFFF is non-hazardous and
biodegradable. The major concern with AFFF is the
large volume of solution that can be produced from
hangar fire protection systems. Because AFFF is
biodegradable, the breakdown by bacteria consumes
oxygen. Uncontrolled AFFF discharged to the
environment can deprive aquatic life of oxygen and
cause fish kills.
If allowed to enter sewage treatment facilities in large
volumes, AFFF can disrupt the treatment process by
killing necessary bacterial cultures within wastewater
treatment facilities (WWTFs). Many WWTF’s prohibit
the discharge of AFFF laden wastewater unless the
AFFF concentration is less than 50 ppm.
