Vapor Mitigation & PFAS / AFFF Conversion
Regulations and liability around PFAS-based firefighting foam (AFFF) are changing fast, and facilities that store or suppress flammable liquids are under pressure to transition. ProTech Fire helps high-hazard facilities assess their exposure, plan a conversion to fluorine-free (F3) foam, and mitigate vapor risk — with the foam expertise the Southeast relies on.
What you need to know
- AFFF contains PFAS 'forever chemicals' now facing tightening regulation, disposal requirements, and liability.
- Converting to fluorine-free (F3) foam is not a drop-in swap — it requires assessment, cleaning, compatibility checks, and re-testing.
- ProTech provides PFAS/AFFF conversion assessments and vapor-mitigation planning for petrochemical, aviation, and industrial facilities.
PFAS / AFFF Conversion, Done Right
Transitioning from AFFF to fluorine-free foam means more than changing concentrate. Residual PFAS clings to tanks, piping, and proportioning equipment, so a proper conversion assesses the existing system, cleans or replaces components, verifies compatibility with F3 concentrate, and re-tests to confirm performance.
We assess your exposure, document the plan, and coordinate the conversion so your system stays protective and compliant through the transition.
Vapor Mitigation for High-Hazard Sites
For petrochemical and industrial facilities, vapor mitigation is part of the same risk picture. We help plan and verify systems that keep flammable vapors controlled, drawing on the foam and high-hazard experience that makes ProTech the Southeast’s go-to for these environments.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert away from AFFF?
AFFF contains PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ that face tightening regulation, costly disposal rules, and growing liability. Many facilities are proactively converting to fluorine-free (F3) foam.
Can I just swap the concentrate?
No. Residual PFAS remains in tanks, piping, and proportioners. A proper conversion assesses, cleans or replaces components, verifies F3 compatibility, and re-tests performance.
What facilities need this?
Petrochemical, aviation, fuel-storage, and industrial facilities that use foam suppression are the most common candidates for assessment and conversion.
