One and the only economical & viable fire extinguishing
mechanism with liquid fuel fires is the Foam fire protection
system. With the growing demand of these fuels in the modern
age the storage, handling & transportation of these fuels
need to be protected thoroughly as they are highly
flammable. Elimination of Oxygen from the fuel surface by an
effective blanket formation of foam is the mechanism of
killing a fire in this system. However getting the right
mixture(concentrate, water & air), quantity & quality of
this foam again needs thorough understanding, engineering
and selection of the correct, tested & approved combination
of equipment & foam concentrate(available in different
types and different percentage concentrates, etc,) lies in the hands of experienced
engineers. Multiple hydraulic calculations & many a times
reverse calculations will have to be performed to ensure the
foam quantity remain for the desired period of operation.
Yet again at Heba India, we have such experience with many
such systems designed, erected & tested successfully. We do
have the software for running such complicated hydraulic
calculations.
