Expert knowledge in action – proper and environmentally friendly decontamination of foam agent tanks containing PFC/PFAS
Operators of foam-based extinguishing systems with the associated tanks are directly affected by the PFC/PFAS ban regulations. The permissible limit values have been reduced to such an extent that many experts recommend only the demolition and new construction of such systems. The question of whether foaming agent-specific tanks can be decontaminated without leaving residues can be answered with a clear “yes”. But how is it possible to carry out proper and environmentally friendly cleaning of decontaminated tanks in accordance with current regulations?
