Environmentally-clean biodegradable water-based concentrates for producing fire inhibiting and fire extinguishing liquids for fighting class A and class B fires

A fire extinguishing biochemical liquid concentrate for mixing with proportioned amounts of water to produce a fire extinguishing liquid biochemical solution for use in extinguishing fire, said fire extinguishing biochemical liquid concentrate comprising:

• a quantity of water for dispersing potassium ions dissolved in water;
• a fire inhibiting agent in the form of an alkali metal salt of a nonpolymeric saturated carboxylic acid, specifically tripotassium citrate, for providing potassium ions dispersed in the water when said tripotassium citrate is dissolved in the quantity of water;
• and
• a dispersing agent in the form of an organic compound containing three carboxylic acid groups or salt/ester derivatives thereof, specifically triethyl citrate, an ester of citric acid, for dispersing potassium ions dissolved in the quantity of water;
• wherein said quantity of water, said fire inhibiting agent and said dispersing agent form said fire extinguishing biochemical liquid concentrate which, when mixed with proportioned amounts of water, produces a stream of fire extinguishing biochemical liquid solution for use in extinguishing and inhibiting fires by liquid spraying operations;
• and
• wherein, when said fire extinguishing biochemical liquid solution is sprayed over a fire as microdroplets, said microdroplets vaporize when absorbing heat energy radiated from the fire, and expand into vapor containing potassium ions that interfere with free radical chemical reactions within the combustion phase of the fire, thereby extinguishing the fire while microdroplets of said fire extinguishing biochemical liquid solution that coat combustible surfaces about the fire further inhibit fire ignition and flame spread on said combustible surfaces about said fire.
