Vapor Containment and Fire Suppression

NTO Vapors Contained by Foam

Vapor Containment Test Setup

This project aims to use firefighting foams to contain the vapors of toxic and hazardous propellants. The project goals are:

• Contain vapors of MMH and NTO up to 8 hours
• Maintain separation between propellants to prevent further reaction
• Modify foams to neutralize propellants during the 8 hour containment
