Rapid heat absorption and vapor suppression
Effective on hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires (with appropriate agent)
Scalable for tank farms, refineries and large storage areas
Designed for fuel storage tanks and bunded areas where surface coverage and fuel suppression are required. Low-expansion foam provides deep fuel-surface knockdown with reliable proportioning.
Used in areas where some expansion aids coverage—suitable for process areas, open bunds and certain warehouse applications where increased foam volume is beneficial.
Ideal for enclosed spaces such as ship holds, pump rooms, and hangars where rapid volume-filling foam can isolate oxygen and suppress fire effectively.
Deluge systems deliver large volumes of foam to exposed surfaces via open nozzles; frequently used for bund protection, tank farms and high-risk outdoor storage.
Balanced-pressure proportioners, eductors and bladder/rolling-diaphragm tanks sized to project demands ensuring consistent concentrate delivery at design flowrates.
High-capacity monitors and fixed/portable nozzles for targeted suppression and cooling, with remote control options for operator safety.
Risk assessment, hydraulic calculations and system layout for storage tanks, bunds and process units. We select suitable foam types and design to client-specific and regulatory standards.
Procurement of foam concentrates, tanks, proportioning equipment and installation by certified technicians. Commissioning includes flow testing, proportioning verification and system acceptance tests.
Regular proportioning checks, concentrate quality testing, pump performance tests and scheduled inspections to ensure readiness and regulatory compliance.
Rapid deployment for foam concentrate replenishment, bladder tank replacement and emergency repairs to minimise downtime after incidents.
We prepare technical submittals, test reports and assist clients to achieve approvals from Qatar Civil Defence and other authorities.
Floating application, rim seal protection and bund firefighting strategies.
High-capacity deluge and foam monitors for process and transfer areas.
High expansion foam for rapid space-filling suppression.
Quick response monitors and proportioning for transient fuel handling risks.
Medium-expansion systems tailored to storage configurations and commodity types.
Monitors and targeted foam application for electrical and transformer fire risks (with correct agent selection).
How do you select the correct foam type?
We base agent selection on fuel type, environmental policy (e.g., fluorine-free preferences), and performance requirements. Site testing and compatibility checks are performed prior to specification.
What maintenance do foam systems need?
Regular testing of proportioners, periodic concentrate quality checks, tank inspections and proof-of-function tests are required to maintain effectiveness.
Can you provide environmental-friendly foam options?
Yes — we offer fluorine-free alternatives and advise on environmental trade-offs and regulatory acceptance for spill and runoff management.
