Abstract: Systems and methods for fire suppression systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, the fire suppression system comprises a water supply system, a foam concentrate supply system, and a foam concentrate recovery system. The water supply system includes a water pump and a water supply line. The foam concentrate supply system includes a foam pump and a foam concentrate supply line, the foam concentrate supply line fluidly connected with the water supply system to facilitate mixing foam concentrate provided by the foam concentrate supply system with water provided by the water supply system. The foam concentrate recovery system includes a recovery pump fluidly connectable with the foam concentrate supply system to facilitate the extraction of foam concentrate from at least a portion of the foam concentrate supply system. The system and method can also include circulating foam concentrate to promote mixing and hinder the congealment of foam concentrate.
