Description
While AFFF-SFFF conversions have become more commonplace, other options such as flushing and component replacement have come to the market. Long term viability of SFFF systems has also become a question. This presentation examines several foam system conversions in the past few years, and will review case studies of water- and chemical-based system cleaning, conversions gone wrong, and PFAS rebound in converted systems. The presentation will also examine whether prepriming of fluorine-free foam systems is viable and its effects on both system maintenance and firefighting capabilities.
