5. EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION
1. HELIDECK AREA
The fixed foam fire fighting system is a dry pipe system. The Main purposes of the
fixed foam system for Helideck protection are:
A. Be capable of extinguishing fires in parked aircraft or fuel spilled from them land
also preclude ignition of spilled fuel not yet ignited, and
Foam concentrate is mixed with water to form foam/water solution which is conveyed
through a piping system to a discharge device or devices where it is mixed with air
(aerated) to produce foam.
There are many methods of injecting the foam concentrate into the water in a
predetermined proportion. The equipment or device to accomplish this action is the
proportioning part of a foam system.
There are two basic stages in the generation of foam. The first is when foam
concentrate is added to water in given concentration to form foam solution.
Hence when 3% foam concentrate is introduced into the water in the system, the
solution that is transported to the discharge device or devices consists of 3% foam
concentrate and 97%water.
This stage is called proportioning. It is very critical stage because it is vital that the
correct percentage concentration is formed if the foam is to perform properly.
The next stage is when air is mixed with the solution to produce bubbles of foam or
finished foam.
The foam solution is transported through the system piping until it reaches the
discharge devices, and these devices perform the function of mixing the foam solution
with air to form the characteristic foam blanket.
Type of document Document No.
Proportioning - or getting the right amount of foam concentrate into the water supply -
is a vital part of a foam system.
If the foam concentrate is proportioned at too low percentage, the foam solution will
be weak and may not be able to form stable bubbles.
Hence should the foam concentrate be proportioned into the water at less than the
required percentage, the discharged foam solution will produce a foam blanket that
has less resistance to breakdown from the heat and flame of the combustion.
The water in the foam will drain off faster and cause quicker foam blanket
deterioration.
A higher than required percentage of foam concentrate in the water solution be too
high, the discharged foam will be too thick, and will not flow quickly across the surface
of the flammable liquid or around obstructions.
In addition, because more foam concentrate is being proportioned into the water than
required, the supply of foam concentrate will be depleted too quickly.
Once the pressure is balanced, accurate proportioning can be gained over a wide
flow range by having fixed orifices of the correct area ratio to one another in the water
and foam concentrate lines.
The bladder tank (MTB) is a pressure vessel containing a reinforced flexible rubber
bag.
The bladder tank system does not required foam concentrate pump because it
supplies water pressure to discharge foam concentrate into water supply and produce
the foam/water solution.
The bladder contain the concentrate, and when water pressure is supplied to the tank
surrounding the "full" bladder the water pressure squeezes the bladder and forces the
foam into the piping.
Type of document Document No.
A measuring part (TPW) with an orifice is used to create a pressure drop in the water
line. The pressure drop is fed to the outside of the rubber bag, thereby squeezing the
bag which lets the foam concentrate out through a pipe back to the downstream side
of the measuring part.
The monitor will protect the helicopter deck while foam sprayers will give the required
protection to the Helifuel Tank Area and Dispensing Unit.
Aspiration - the mixing of air with the solution to produce bubbles of foam or finished
foam occurs at the applicators.
Foam monitor are large throughput nozzles. Also called "foam cannon", they re useful
for large spill fires and process area protection, and are use for fire fighting on vessel,
tankers, helidecks and jetties.
The monitor is equipped with a fog/jet nozzle and manual operation for vertical and
rotation.
The foam spray systems consist of discharge devices position strategically around a
risk area. Foam is quickly sprayed from all the nozzles simultaneously onto the entire
surface of the hazard giving fast knockdown of the fire. Typically they are used on
petroleum product.
Properly designed, foam spray deluge system can provide fire extinguishment, plus
continued cooling to help prevent re-ignition after the foam concentrate has all been
used up.
Hose reels can be used to provide flexibility of operation for shadow area that cannot
be covered by the fixed monitors.

Description
Accurate proportioning of foam concentrate,
preferably irrespective of flow and pressure
variations, is vital for the correct performance of
a foam system.
The TPW proportioner has an orifice of which
the area changes in relation to the flow. This
system secures correct proportioning within a
wide range of flow. For example, a sprinkler
system will become more effective by adding
foam and by using the TPW proportioner. The
proportioning will even be correct for large
variations in number of sprinkler heads acti-
vated.
The TPW proportioner is a maintenance-free
construction made of high quality bronze and
stainless steel.
The TPW is used in combination with the SKUM
bladder tank MTB.
The proportioning can easily be changed by
adjusting the integrated regulating nozzle.

INSTRUCTION FOR SKUM BLADDER TANK
B349-HF-IP
Issued by Date of issue Rev. No. Rev. date Approved by Page
GENERAL
The new Skum Bladder Tank is designed to meet a wide variety of demands for many
different applications. The bladder tank system will inject foam concentrate in to the
water supply piping. This system will automatically and accurately proportion over a wide
range of flows and pressures. The required percentage can easily be set at the TP/TPW
unit (proportioner).
The water supply feeds and pressurizes the TP/TPW unit; this pressure also pressurizes
the Tank. This means that the foam concentrates have the same pressure through the
elastic bladder inside the Tank. This pressure will therefore feed the TP/TPW unit with
foam concentrate from a pipe, and downstream after the proportioner the premix has the
right mixing rate.
1. INSTALLATION
The installation is uncomplicated but must be carried out by qualified personnel. The
directions given in this manual must be followed.
Make sure that the bladder tank and its components are safely secured when
installing and running the bladder tank system.
Use only lifting gear and equipment that are well suited for the purpose.
1.1 Transporting
During transport the air surrounding the bladder is evacuated to form a vacuum to
prevent damages to the bladder, do not open valves.
1.2 Inspection
Inspect the bladder tank and any additional equipment for damage that might have
occurred during transport.
Check marking and signs of the equipment against material specification / order
confirmation.
Locate the tank in its correct location and complete the pre-piping.

GENERAL
The Unitor Fixed Foam system is designed with the objective of keeping the maintenance
level as low as possible.
The foam system is part of the safety equipment. As such, it will not be in continuous use.
This means that the performance and condition of the system will not be continuously reveal
itself.
Furthermore, long periods of inactivity of the system will tend to increase the risk of getting
parts of the system clogged or stuck.
But some regular maintenance will always be required, to ensure that the fire fighting
systems works safely when needed in case of fire.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
* Check the foam bladder tank visually for any damages or leakage. Tighten flange
connections as required.
* Inspect fittings, inlet, outlet and non-return valve for visible damage.
* Send sample of foam concentrate to nearest Unitor office or approved laboratory for
testing.
Damaged foam concentrate must be replaced. Make sure to use a clean bottle for the
sample
* Inspect the pressure gauge for visible damage and function of isolating valve.
Lubricate valve if necessary.
2. System (Annually)
* Operate all isolation valves to make sure they do not stick. Lubricate valves if
necessary
* Check that all isolation valves are in the right position (open/closed), to ensure
that the system is set ready for proper action.
* Start the fire pump for two (2) seconds, to make sure that it works (no electrical
failure, correct rotation).
Do not run the pump for a longer period in dry condition, this will cause damage
to the pump.
* Perform a function test of the foam system (refer to test procedure and inspection
chart - section 11), with discharge of water through the test/drain, and monitors.
