SURVIAC Bulletin: New Applications Developed After Additional Foam Testing, Volume 15 Issue 3

Abstract

SURVIAC is applying business solutions with technical expertise in evaluating halon replacement systems. The banning of halon production and the search for nonhalon fire extinguishing alternatives have produced sizable development programs in Government, university, industry, and research and development (R&D) organizations. This SURVIAC Technical Area Task (TAT) will evaluate multiple platforms and multiple agents taking financial and technical variables into consideration. The fixed and variable costs associated with converting to fire suppression alternatives from conventional Halon 1301 systems are considerable. Quantification/qualification of costs and benefits will enable the decision maker to come up with the optimum solution. The goal of this task is to assist decision makers in selecting a retrofit halon replacement system, but it is also proving a cost benefit methodology with wider applications.
