A foam fire suppression system is one of the most effective fire protection solutions for environments where flammable liquids, fuels, and hydrocarbons are present. In high-risk industries such as mining, transport, manufacturing, energy, and bulk fuel storage, traditional fire extinguishers alone are often not sufficient. Foam-based systems provide rapid fire knockdown, vapour suppression, and cooling—significantly reducing fire escalation and asset damage.

MultiTorque Fire Suppression supplies foam fire suppression systems and components for Australian industrial and commercial applications, supporting businesses that require compliant, proven fire protection equipment for hazardous environments.

What Is a Foam Fire Suppression System?
A foam fire suppression system works by discharging a specially formulated firefighting foam that:
- Smothers the fire by separating fuel from oxygen
- Suppresses flammable vapours to prevent re-ignition
- Cools the fire area and surrounding surfaces
Foam systems are specifically designed for Class B fires, including fires involving petrol, diesel, oils, solvents, and other flammable liquids. This makes them ideal for fuel-rich environments where water alone would be ineffective or dangerous.
Applications for Foam Fire Suppression Systems
Foam fire suppression systems are widely used across Australian industries where liquid fuel fire risk is present. MultiTorque supplies foam fire suppression solutions suitable for:
- Fuel storage and transfer facilities
- Mining workshops and processing plants
- Oil & gas facilities
- Vehicle maintenance depots
- Chemical processing areas
- Aviation and transport infrastructure
- Power generation and energy sites
In many of these environments, a foam fire suppression system provides faster control and reduced collateral damage compared to conventional fire protection methods.
Industrial-Grade Foam Fire Protection Equipment
MultiTorque focuses on supplying industrial-grade foam fire suppression equipment, not residential or retail systems. All supplied equipment is selected based on:
- Fire load and fuel type
- Area size and suppression requirements
- Australian Standards and regulatory compliance
- Site-specific risk exposure
This ensures the foam fire suppression system is fit for purpose and suitable for demanding operational conditions.
For specialised fire protection equipment and components, MultiTorque supplies solutions via https://fsequip.au/, supporting industries with advanced fire suppression products designed for high-risk environments.
Foam Fire Suppression System Compliance in Australia
Foam fire suppression systems used in Australia must comply with relevant standards and regulatory requirements, including:
- Australian Standards (AS) for fire suppression equipment
- Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) obligations
- Industry-specific fire safety regulations
Incorrect system selection or non-compliant equipment can lead to system failure, regulatory penalties, and increased fire risk. MultiTorque supplies foam fire suppression systems that align with Australian compliance requirements, supporting businesses in maintaining safe and compliant operations.
Foam Systems vs Other Fire Suppression Methods
While clean agents, aerosol systems, and water-based suppression all have specific applications, foam fire suppression systems are uniquely suited to flammable liquid risks.
Key advantages include:
- Effective vapour suppression
- Rapid fire knockdown
- Reduced re-ignition risk
- Suitable for large open or semi-enclosed areas
In many fuel-related environments, a foam fire suppression system is the preferred solution when compared to water or gas-based systems.
Foam Fire Suppression for Mobile Plant and Heavy Equipment
Mobile plant and heavy equipment present unique fire risks due to fuel systems, hydraulic oils, and operating temperatures. Foam-based fire suppression solutions are commonly used in:
- Mining vehicles
- Fuel tankers
- Mobile refuelling units
- Heavy transport fleets
MultiTorque supplies foam fire suppression equipment suitable for integration into mobile plant fire protection strategies, supporting industries that operate in high-risk and remote environments.
