Foam Systems
Wherever the effective control and suppression of hydrocarbon fires is required, Knowsley SK deliver all types of specialist foam based solutions.
Low expansion systems are typically use to protect storage tanks, helidecks and marine loading terminals whilst medium expansion systems are mainly used for vapour suppression and transformer protection. High expansion systems are favoured for their ability to fill large voids quickly and to control LNG spills.
Whatever the end of line foam discharge equipment, no system is complete without a reliable means of making the foam and delivering it to the risk area. Knowsley SK designs and builds foam making and proportioning packages - often skid mounted - incorporating water/diesel/electric motor driven foam pumps, bladder tanks or simple inductor based units.
The most widely recognised International code for these systems is NFPA11 but we also utilise the relevant sections of BS 5306 & IP19 - together with any specific requirements of individual Oil Company Standards.
