FAQ

What is a mobile foam unit?

A mobile foam unit is a portable or skid-mounted firefighting system designed to store foam concentrate and proportion it with water to generate and discharge firefighting foam. It is used for rapid response to flammable liquid fires in areas such as tank farms, loading racks, hangars, and industrial facilities where a fixed foam system is not installed.

How is foam mixed in a mobile foam unit?

Foam in a mobile foam unit is mixed using a pre-assembled inline foam inductor or proportioner. The inductor uses the Venturi principle to accurately draw foam concentrate into the water stream at a specified proportion (typically 3%), ensuring consistent foam solution quality at the discharge point.

Which discharge device is connected to the mobile foam unit?

A foam branch pipe is commonly connected to a mobile foam unit for controlled foam application. Alternatively, a foam handline nozzle can be connected, depending on the required flow rate, expansion ratio, and application method.

What is a foam system (Apa itu sistem foam)?

A foam system is a fire protection system designed to generate, distribute, and apply firefighting foam by mixing foam concentrate, water, and air. It is specifically used for the control and extinguishment of flammable liquid fires by forming a stable foam blanket that suppresses vapors, cools the fuel surface, and prevents re-ignition.

What is a foam-type fire extinguisher used for (APAR jenis foam untuk apa?)?

A foam fire extinguisher is used to extinguish Class A and Class B fires, especially those involving flammable liquids like petrol and oil.

What is foam material?

Foam material is a lightweight, cellular substance formed by mixing a foam concentrate with water and air to generate a mass of stable bubbles. These bubbles create a continuous foam blanket that suppresses fire by separating the fuel from oxygen, cooling the surface, and preventing the release of flammable vapors.

What has replaced AFFF foam?

Fluorine-free foam (F3) is increasingly replacing AFFF foam due to environmental and safety concerns.

What is 3% AFFF foam?

3% AFFF foam is a firefighting foam concentrate formulated to be mixed at a proportion of 3 parts foam concentrate to 97 parts water. When properly proportioned and aerated, it produces an aqueous film–forming foam that spreads rapidly over hydrocarbon fuels, suppresses flammable vapors, and extinguishes the fire efficiently.
