Firefighting foam systems rely on a combination of specialized components—foam chambers, foam pourers, and foam makers—to generate, distribute, and apply foam effectively for rapid and efficient fire suppression in high-risk environments.
Foam Chambers
Commonly used in fixed-roof and internal floating roof storage tanks, foam chambers serve as mixing and expansion devices where foam concentrate is combined with water and air. The chamber ensures uniform foam generation and flow control, delivering high-quality foam directly into the tank for comprehensive surface coverage.
Foam Pourers
Designed for applications such as tank dikes, loading racks, truck/railcar transfer areas, and spill containment zones, foam pourers direct foam gently over the surface of flammable liquids. This reduces agitation, suppresses vapors, and prevents re-ignition—making them ideal for hydrocarbon or chemical spill fire protection.
Foam Makers
Used in foam water deluge systems, rim seal protection, and under-tank protection setups, foam makers create finished foam by aspirating air into the foam solution through a nozzle or venturi. This equipment ensures the correct expansion ratio and consistency needed for large-area or structural protection.
Together, these components enable targeted and efficient foam delivery, maximizing fire suppression performance in industrial, petrochemical, aviation, marine, and hazardous material facilities.
