Merlin Portable CAF System

The Merlin represents a new standard for portable, self-contained Compressed Air Foam (CAF) systems. The self-contained units are designed to give the emergency response professional unparalleled versatility, power and mobility. The Merlin optimizes the performance of standard fire fighting foams, hazmat remediation agents, and powerful decontamination foam formulations.

The Merlin provides rapid deployment capabilities and ease of operation for emergency response professionals deployed in Level A, MOPP and turnout gear. The system controls are ergonomically designed for quick activation, and the control module is easily removable for remote deployment. The Merlin has been designed to operate as a fully self-contained unit, or as an integrated system that can be operated from auxiliary power sources and bulk agent storage for long term use.

The rugged 15 gallon (57 L) system is capable of expanding its payload up to 70 times, and projecting the expanded foam up to 40 feet (12.2 m), depending on the foam product and the nozzle used. The sturdy frame allows for safe use on uneven terrain, and the twin polyethylene fluid tanks allow for use with either single or dual-agent fire fighting, in addition to maximum versatility in the use of decontamination foam products. The patented binary tank configuration enables the user to maintain immediate readiness without compromising the strength of the decontamination foams.

The Merlin is an ideal portable powerhouse for use in fire suppression, exposure protection, hazmat cleanup and decontamination. The size of the system allows it to go where most vehicles and larger systems would not.The Merlin embodies Intelagard's patented, award-winning technology for high performance, innovation and dependability.
