Truck unloading of Class 1 and Class 2A-liquids must be protected with fixed foam systems. Incendium has delivered a number of fire suppression systems for this type of application. This type of truck unloading are generally found at oil depots but also in several process industries. In these places there is often a lack of available heated areas where foam mixing equipment and pumps can be placed. We deliver complete systems built into 20-foot containers with light and heating. These containers are custom built and designed in collaboration with the customer and we offer several different options. The container is delivered as a plug-in solution. The truck unloading protection normally consists of foam sprinklers that pours foam over truck and cargo space from above. In...
In Tank farms, Oil tanks in bunded areas can successfully be protected by foam systems with the use of fixed Medium Expansion foam generators. Medium Expansion foam (MedEx) is well suited for this type of outdoor application. The foam is heavy enough to flow out quickly and resists the effect of wind, thus efficiently fills the bund with a thick layer of foam. The Foam generator must be positioned over the edge of the dike so that the air used to produce the foam is taken from outside the dike. Contact Incendium for help with the design of bund protection systems. Incendium can also assist in designing of passive fire protection using foamed glass. This involves placing packages with expanded, foamed glass inside the bund. In...
Incendium offers different versions of tank protection. Customers can choose from over-the-top application, sub surface injection and semi sub surface injection with hose magazine. Floating tank roofs are normally protected with over-the-top application. On these tanks the protection is primarily directed to the floating tank roof seal and internal walls. Incendium’s Tank Foam Generator, TFG, is available in several different designs. All models have easy access for testing and inspection. When using sub surface injection, expanded foam is injected into the tank after passing a foam solution sealing membrane. The foam sealing membrane’s properties is that they can withstand a high pressure from inside the tank while it opens at a much lower pressure from the foam system. Sealing membranes are also used with sub...
CHP plants using municipal waste is becoming more and more common in Europe. This is a cost effective way to generate heat and energy while using waste as fuel instead of ending up on a dump. Handling municipal waste entails however a risk of fire when compost effect or flammable chemicals easily can get the waste to ignite. These risks are both in storage and handling, and it is therefore important to have adequate fire protection. The CHP plants waste bunkers are often identified as the greatest risk and should therefore be equipped with foam extinguishing protection. The foam in these systems reduces the surface tension, allowing the water to better penetrate the fibrous fuel. Incendium can deliver complete foam systems that is activated by...
Fire fighting systems for unloading or loading of flammable product tankers can be designed according to various regulations such as ISGOTT or EN 13565. An effective way to protect a jetty is with monitors placed on jetty deck, in level with the manifold. This gives a good reach, while the monitors are free from the immediate risk of fire. The monitors can be used for firefighting with foam and cooling with water. Protection of the jetty with ground based medium expansion foam generators is effective as well and can be designed to overflow the jetty and also cover the water surface. A combination of these two is often preferred. When designing the extinguishing system the customer can decide if they want to protect both berthing...
The design of fire protection for aircraft hangars can be done in many different ways. The first alternative is to protect the area with high expansion foam which is an effective extinguishing system that fills the hangar with foam within a few minutes. This system, however, has strict requirements regarding the evacuation of personnel before activation of the extinguishing system. The other alternative is to protect the hangar with fire water monitors. In this way you get an instantaneous, directed firefighting effort for the hanger floor as well as above and below the aircraft or aircrafts in question. For this operation, the best choice is the use of electrically operated monitors or water oscillation monitors. The surfaces of the hangars are normally very large and...
In some industrial applications, foam coating systems are better suited than conventional water sprinkler systems as fire protection. Generally when falmable liquids are used in a process, in production or is stored, a foam coating system offers a more efficient protection. The protection of certain fibrous materials, plastics etc. is preferably protected with foam coating systems. The fire supression systems can be designed with different specifications depending on the materials. Examples of these are heavy foam systems with sprinkler heads, medium expansion foam systems with foam generators or high-expansion foam system (HIEX) with expansion foam generators. Contact Incendium to get our assistance in providing a protection system for your product or industy.
Incendium performs service on all types of foam extinguishing products and systems, new and old. With a service contract from us you know that the system will always be in good condition and will be ready when an accident happens. We make visits on location annually, or at other agreed intervals, where the systems in question is reviewed and any necessary repairs or updates are performed. Written reports are thereafter submitted regarding the status of the facility and any changes made. We can establish maintenance documentation as well as perform functionality tests.
Do You need assistance in designing a foam fire fighting system? Is your foam fire fighting system in operational condition? When was this controlled last time? Do you have a Maintenance scheme for your system? Incendium can assist you in all those areas. We design foam fire fighting systems, we evaluate existing systems, we establish maintenance documentation and also perform full scale performance tests.
Elevated helicopter landing pads at, for example, hospitals has to be protected according to different regulations in each country. In most countrys a fire suppression system is required. The design of such a fire suppression can be done in several different ways. For example: Electric fire water monitors with foam Water oscillating monitors Pop-up foam sprinklers Surrounding pipe with mounted foam sprinklers In almost every scenario, the size of the largest berthing helicopter determines the capacity of the extinguishing system. This also applies to helicopter platforms on offshore rigs where CAP437 dictates the capacities of the extinguishing systems. In these locations, the only transport alternative is often by helicopter to and from the rig. Normally, there is no other way to extinguish a fire effectively...
