1 An Overview Of Fluorinated Firefighting Foams: Past, Present & Future Presented by: Jerry Back, JENSEN HUGHES FOAM SYSTEM SYMPOSIUM :
2 Overview Brief History of Foam Standards and Performance State of the Art Updates to Standards What Happens Next Page 2
3 Overview Originally Developed for liquid fuels suppression Protein Foam (PF) Fluoroprotein (FPF) AFFF Other Variants FFFP, FFF Application (mass flow) rate nozzle flow rate, gallons/minute-ft 2 (gpm/ft 2 ) Extinguishment density mass of foam per unit area required for fire extinguishment, gal/ft 2 Page 3
4 AFFF Development Naval Research Laboratory 1961 Synthetic surfactant formulated 1963 Patent application, initial spec 1966 Patent award assigned to US Secretary of the Navy 1968 NRL and 3M 6% seawater formulation 1969 Jacksonville, FLA, large and moderate scale test results, Mil-F Light Water characterized by spreading surface tension/spreading coefficient AFFF = Aqueous FILM Forming Foam Page 4
5 Main AFFF Uses Somewhat Different Worlds Commercial / Petrochemical Industry (UL 162) Tank Fuel storage Fuel handling systems DoD/ARFF/FAA (MIL-F-24385F) VSAs Hangars Aviation / Crash Page 5
6 Scenario Comparison Aircraft carrier flight deck <60 seconds Commercial Aviation 60 seconds Aircraft Hangar Military Aircraft 1 min (damageability assessment) Commercial aircraft 2 min Structure several minutes Shipboard spaces Military 1 min desirable 2-5 minutes acceptable in some situations Gasoline Fueling Facility, Sprinklered Liquid Warehouse 1-5 minutes to hours Fixed Protection not always provided Critical application rate needed Genesis / Rationale Page 6
7 NFPA Standards NFPA 11 Foam Basic foam protection, commercial petrochem, marine & industry 0.16 gpm/ft2 application rate, commercial UL 162 spec NFPA 16 Foam Sprinklers 0.16 gpm/ft2, UL 162 spec NFPA 403 Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting commercial aviation, 1 min Performance-based approach NFPA 409 Hangar Protection Structural protection option 0.16 gpm/ft2 Low level AFFF to protect aircraft 0.10 gpm/ft2 NFPA 412 expansion and drainage measurement and criteria Note all recognize performance advantage of AFFF vs alternatives Page 7
8 Commercial / Petrochemical Industry UL Foam Equipment and Liquid Concentrates Listed as a complete package Concentrates, Proportioners, Discharge devices Concentrations regulated (1,3,6% vol) Test parameters defined by manufacturer Application rate ( gpm/ft 2 typ) Expansion ratio (discharge devices) Test and Design Requirements in Table 10.1 No compatibility Page 8
9 DoD / ARFF/ FAA NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY MILSPEC (MIL-F-24385F) / QPL ARFF is primary DoD hazard Only concentrate is approved Physical properties regulated for compatibility with DoD hardware Concentrations regulated (3 & 6% vol) Application rates ( gpm/ft2 ) Page 9
10 AFFF MIL SPEC Extinguishing Performance Based on MIL-F-24385F 28 ft 2 fire test Application rate gpm/ft 2 Maximum extinguishment time 30s Maximum extinguishment density gal/ft 2 50 ft 2 fire test Application rate 0.04 gpm/ft 2 Maximum extinguishment time 50s Maximum extinguishment density gal/ft 2 One-half and quadruple strength Burnback resistance Foam expansion and drainage Spreading coefficient Ignition resistance Page 10
11 Chemical/Physical/Quality Parameters in the MIL SPEC Requirement Refractive index Viscosity ph Corrosivity Total halides/chlorides Environmental impact Accelerated aging Seawater compatibility Interagent compatibility Reduced- and over-concentration fire test Compatibility with dry chemical (PKP) agents Torque to remove cap Packaging requirements Initial qualification inspection Quality conformance inspection (each lot) Rationale Refractive index enables use of refractometer to measure solution concentrations in field; this is most common method recommended in NFPA 412 a Viscosity Ensures accurate proportioning when proportioning pumps are used; for example, balance pressure proportioner or positive displacement injection pumps ph Ensures concentrate will be neither excessively basic or acidic; intention is to prevent corrosion in plumbing systems Limits corrosion of, and deposit buildup on, metallic components (various metals for 28 days) Limits corrosion of, and deposit buildup on, metallic components Biodegradability, fish kill, BOD/COD b Film formation capabilities, fire performance, foam quality; ensures a long shelf life Ensures satisfactory fire performance when mixed with brackish or saltwater Allows premixed or storage tanks to be topped off with different manufacturers agents, without affecting fire performance Ensures satisfactory fire performance when agents are proportioned inaccurately Ensures satisfactory fire performance when used in conjunction with supplementary agents Able to remove without wrench Strength, color, size, stackable, minimum pour, and vent-opening tamperproof seal; ensures uniformity of containers and ease of handling Establishes initial conformance with requirements Ensures continued conformance with requirements a NFPA 412, Standard for Evaluating Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Foam Equipment, 2003 edition b BOD/COD: Biological oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand Page 11
12 Examples of Extinguishment Application Densities of Various Test Standards Max. Ext. Ext. App. Nozzle Movement Test Fuel Application Rate Time Density Permitted gpm/ft 2 sec gal/ft 2 MIL-SPEC 28 ft 2 MIL-SPEC 50 ft 2 Motor gasoline Yes Motor gasoline 0.04 Yes UL 162 Heptane 0.04 Yes ICAO B 50 ft 2 Kerosene 0.06 Yes (horizontal plane) ICAO C 80 ft 2 Kerosene 0.04 No 60 (flickering flame permitted) ISO Forceful Heptane 0.06 No Page 12
13 The Present How we got here: Started with C8 formulations DoD sticking with AFFF near term (C6 formulations approved) In 2002, 3M ECF AFFF production stopped. In 2003, U.S. EPA banned ECF AFFF from production & importation. In 2006, U.S. EPA initiated PFOA Stewardship Program. Page 13
14 QPL / MILSPEC C6 Formulations Phos-Chek 3% & 6% AFFF MS Ansulite 3% (AFC-3MS) & Ansulite 6% (AFC-6MS) Chemguard 3% (C306-MS) & Chemguard 6% (C606-MS) FOMTEC AFFF 3%M National 3% (3EM-C6) & National 6% (6EM-C6) Tridol 3% (C6 M3) & Tridol 6% (C6 M6) Solberg Arctic 3% & Solberg Arctic 6% FireAde 3% & 6% MilSpec formulations John P. Farley john.farley@nrl.navy.mil NO MILSPEC FFFs Page 14
15 The Future of MILSPEC Foams Where we re going to end up: Fluorine in the environmental cross-hairs Major FFF research (SERDP and ESTCP) Fluorine Free Foams (FFF) Will need to restart from fundamentals Hazards How good is good enough? New Spec Page 15
16 State of the Art Dozens of UL 162 listed C6 formulations Some issues associated with C6 formulations 11 UL 162 listed FF formulations FFFs AFFFs FF formulations need additional research Extinguishment mechanisms Fuel compatibility Page 16
17 NFPA 11 (2020 Revision Cycle) NFPA 11 being revised to address Fluorine Free Foams: Task Group / Working Groups: Group 1: Define variables needed to be included in acceptance testing Group 2: Review NFPA 11 for modification due to new C6 and FF foams, also interface with NFPA 16, 30 and 400 s for consistency Group 3: Develop pager work for NFPA RF funding There is a separate UL 162 working group meeting hosted by UL on 1/17 Page 17
18 NFPA 11 Subgroup 1 UL / NFPA Test Procedure (264 Tests) Type of tests: Fuels: UL/FM Type III Topside UL/FM Type II for Polar Solvents Heptane Mil-Spec Gasoline IPA (Polar Solvent Test) Fuel Temperature: Standard (60 degrees F degrees F) 85 degrees F Densities: Foam Concentrates: Water Type: Foam Quality Manufacturer Recommended (typically 0.06 gpm / ft.) 25% increase above recommended until pass or two increments One Reference AR-AFFF C6 foam UL AR Listing Fluorine Free Foams (3 maximum) Fresh Salt Minimum listed Maximum listed Page 18
19 NFPA 11 Subgroup 2 NFPA 11 Updates: Key Findings: 6 out of 12 chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 Including 16 subsections 5 Annex sections (A, B, C, E, G) Will need to review Annex sections and revisit post testing Page 19
20 NFPA 11 Subgroup 3 NFPA / NFPA Research Foundation Liaison: Develop SOW and RFP for RF solicitation: Completed and out for review by working group Fire Protection Research Foundation POC: Sreenivasan Ranganathan sranganathan@nfpa.org Solicitation will be released early summer Page 20
