Fyrextra LNG Hi-Ex foam generator

High expansion foam systems are proven as the most effective means of dealing with LNG spill fires that can burn at temperatures up to three times higher than equivalent oil fires. LNG vapour is flammable at concentrations as low as 5%, quickly exceeding temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Celsius.

Knowsley SK Hi-Ex Foam generator discharges the foam solution via a water turbine close coupled to a fan introducing air which aspirates the solution as it passes through a mesh screen ensuring a expansion ratio of 500:1.
