Norfolk based Delta Fire have now completed the production of two bespoke Foam Skids designed to protect a fuel storage facility in Venezuela on the northern coast of South America.
Delta Fire is recognised the world over for their ability to manufacture high-tech Foam Protection Packages to individual customer specifications from design, schematics and manufacture to testing, installation and commissioning providing a single-source solution to a wide range of Industries around the world.
The remit for this latest Venezuelan project was to provide bund and fuel storage tank protection as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
Delta’s Technical Team benefit from an accumulation of many years industry experience in this field and were able to design two fully integrated Foam Skids to achieve their customer’s very specific directive, all in accordance with NFPA11 requirements.
The completed System consists of a four point fire protection design with both foam Bund Protection and Tank Protection backed up by a comprehensive coverage by 10 Stainless Steel Fire Monitors fitted with Bronze Nozzles providing on-site water cooling. A further package of Hose Cabinets equipped with Delta’s Nova Type 3 Fire Hose and Attack 500 Fire Nozzles completes the package.
The first foam skid was designed and manufactured to provide protection to the fuel bund (a walled or banked area containing fuel storage tanks) in the provision of low expansion foam preventing the spread of fire from one tank to another whereas the second skid provides foam to the top of the fuel tanks via a series of Delta Top Pourers. These Top Pourers provide flammable liquid storage protection by a pre-set flow of foam onto the tank shell gradually cooling and pouring gently onto the fuel surface.
