PFAS Solutions for Firefighting Foams and AFFF

Remove legacy AFFF. Replace PFAS-containing foam. Destroy PFAS responsibly.

Start Your AFFF Transition Today

Aqueous Film Forming Foam, commonly known as AFFF, has been widely used for fuel fires, aviation incidents, industrial fire protection, marine environments, emergency response and fire training. However, many legacy AFFF products contain PFAS — persistent “forever chemicals” that can contaminate soil, groundwater, surface water and drinking-water sources.

2Encapsulate helps organisations identify, remove, replace, treat and destroy PFAS linked to firefighting foams and AFFF.

We support fire services, airports, industrial sites, fuel storage facilities, marine operators, commercial property owners and facilities managers with practical PFAS-free alternatives, legacy foam removal, system flushing, contaminated water treatment and PFAS destruction.

Why Act Now?

PFAS-containing AFFF is one of the most direct routes for PFAS to enter the environment. During fire incidents, training, testing, leaks, washdown or system discharge, foam can move into drains, soil, groundwater, rivers and surrounding land.

Even after AFFF has been removed, PFAS can remain in tanks, pipework, hoses, valves, extinguishers, suppression systems and contaminated rinse water. This creates ongoing risk for site owners, operators and duty holders.

If you hold legacy AFFF, foam extinguishers, fixed suppression systems, contaminated firewater or PFAS-impacted fire training areas, now is the time to act.

Who We Help

2Encapsulate works with organisations that use, store, manage or have historically discharged AFFF and firefighting foams, including:

Fire and rescue services
Airports and aviation operators
Fuel storage and distribution sites
Industrial and chemical facilities
Marine and maritime operators
Commercial property owners
Facilities management companies
Power generation and utility sites
Waste and environmental service providers
Sites affected by historic fire training or foam discharge

Fire Protection without the PFAS Legacy

AFFF helped solve one problem, but PFAS has created another.

Organisations now need fire protection solutions that are effective, compliant and environmentally responsible. Removing AFFF is only part of the process. The full PFAS lifecycle must be managed, from identification and removal through to treatment, waste control and destruction.

2Encapsulate helps you move away from PFAS-containing firefighting foam and towards safer, cleaner fire protection.

If you hold legacy AFFF, foam extinguishers, fixed suppression systems, contaminated firewater or PFAS-impacted fire training areas, now is the time to act.

AFFF Identification and Foam Review

We help organisations understand what foam they hold and whether it may contain PFAS. This includes support with foam inventories, product checks, extinguisher reviews and system assessments.

We support the safe removal of PFAS-containing AFFF from bulk storage, portable extinguishers, fixed suppression systems, foam tanks, trailers and site stockpiles.

Our Firefighting Foam and AFFF Services

PFAS-Free Foam Replacement

We provide PFAS-free fire suppression alternatives, including wetting agents, portable extinguisher options and fixed misting systems for industrial, commercial, maritime and specialist applications.

AFFF residues can remain inside tanks, pipework, hoses, valves and suppression systems after removal. We support flushing, rinsate management and transition planning.

System Flushing and Decontamination

Firewater and Rinsate Treatment

AFFF removal, system flushing and historic discharge can generate contaminated water streams. We support the treatment of PFAS-impacted firewater, rinsate, washdown water, wastewater and groundwater.

PFAS should not simply be transferred from foam into another waste stream. We support responsible capture, treatment and destruction pathways.

PFAS Capture and Destruction

Seamless, Sustainable, Scalable.

Leveraging our partnerships with leading universities and research institutions, we work on key areas of technology evolution, including sustainability, materials, chemistries and manufacturing processes.

We have contacts at the highest levels of government and are actively involved in setting the agenda for regulation in this area, as recognised industry experts.

The 2Encapsulate USP

Seamless, Sustainable, Scalable.

Our team brings in-depth knowledge and practical experience in tackling PFAS-related issues across a wide array of sectors, including government, aviation, property management, automotive and textiles, manufacturing, waste management, utilities, power generation, oil and gas, and mining. We also work on sites impacted by fire incidents.

Trackable, traceable and with regulatory accountability, our environmentally-friendly remedial solutions are also significantly more cost-efficient than those of our competitors.
