Foam concentrate storage tank design is an expensive thing to get wrong. Here we have some essential information to maximise you foam concentrate life.
Foam proportioning system design is a very technical area. Here we provide some technical assistance for system designers.
Orion offers both foam concentrate sample testing and performance testing of complete foam systems. We bring a unique level of skills to these highly technical tasks. We have 30 years' experience designing foam system components and foam systems. Experience that gives us a depth of understanding that is hard to find anywhere else.
High viscosity foams represent a substantial technical challenge for proper foam system design. Each concentrate will have unique flow characteristics and many manufacturers do no provide adequate information for the end user. Flow through valves and fittings is also more complicated and not fully understood.
Pumping from multiple foam tanks is not as easy as it seems and should be avoided where ever possible in foam system design.
