CAFS & Lithium Battery Fire Suppression Systems Australia

RML AU (Rowe Management Pty Ltd) specialises in advanced fire suppression systems for lithium-ion batteries, BESS, recycling facilities, dangerous goods and high-risk industrial environments across Australia.

We design and supply CAFS compressed air foam fire suppression systems engineered to deliver rapid fire control, efficient cooling and significantly reduced water consumption compared with conventional high-volume water systems.

From initial fire-risk assessment and system design through to equipment supply, installation support and commissioning, RML AU provides practical fire-protection solutions tailored to the risk.

Fire Suppression Solutions for High-Risk Environments

Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Protection

Lithium-ion battery fire suppression Australia.

Fire involving lithium-ion batteries can escalate rapidly through thermal runaway. RML AU provides fire suppression solutions designed for battery storage, battery-containing devices and other lithium-ion fire risks. Thermal runaway fire suppression is available today.

What Is CAFS?

CAFS stands for Compressed Air Foam System.

A CAFS system combines water, a suitable wetting or foaming agent and compressed air to produce an aerated suppression medium that can be delivered efficiently onto a fire.

Compared with conventional high-volume water application, CAFS can provide effective surface coverage, improved adhesion and reduced water demand for appropriate applications.

RML AU supplies fixed, mobile and self-contained compressed air fire suppression solutions for industrial and specialist fire risks.

Functionality

CAFS systems mix compressed air with water and foam concentrate, generating a dense foam that adheres to surfaces and penetrates fires deeply, providing superior fire suppression capabilities compared to traditional water-based systems. 

Applications

They are particularly effective for flammable liquids, oil and gas facilities, mining, marine vessels and various industrial environments. 

Our CAFS can be used in remote and mobile applications, requiring no external power source. 

Advantages

Our CAFS systems can be self-contained, use significantly less water 

and provide immediate foam generation when needed, making them 

ideal for critical industries like oil and gas. 

Technology

Our systems operate using nitrogen or compressed air, creating a foam that acts as a barrier against fire, smothering the flames preventing oxygen from combining with fuel. 

We are also one of the few who can extinguish Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway.
