Many ordinary hazard systems used to be fed directly from the town's mains, but increasingly a water tank and pumps are being installed to guarantee adequate water flow and pressure.
We add foam to water to produce an extinguishing agent which will contain and extinguish fuel oil fires and also provide vapour suppression and protect against reignition
This is when equipment is used to mix water with the foam concentrate to proportion the foam. Proportioning of the foam concentrate is at 1%, 3% or 6%. This means that 3% proportioning 97% of the finished foam is water.
Foam systems are designed in accordance with international standards, depending upon the risk to be protected. The standards applicable are as follows:• BS 5306 part 6.1 - low expansion foam
• FM/UL
• NFPA 11 - low expansion
• NFPA 16 - foam enhanced sprinkler systems
• NFPA 11A - medium and high expansion
