Selecting A FoamPro System

153 Class A foam concentrates –NFPA 1150 or US Forest Service Approved Class B foam concentrates –Use of a lower % foam concentrate will increase the discharge capabilities; i.e., 1%x3% versus 3%x6%. –AFFF –AR-AFFF (Viscosity considerations) –Control at each discharge Emulsifiers –Viscosity considerations What Type(s) Of Foam Concentrate Do You Want To Proportion?

154 What Are Water/Foam Flow Requirements? What discharges require foam solution? –Pre-connected hand lines, trash lines, etc. –2-1/2” and/or larger discharge(s) –Deck gun or aerial waterway (secondary feed) What are min. & max. GPM requirements of solution? What are min. & max concentrate levels? Properly size proportioner, main waterway check valve and flowmeter

155 Class B Foam Sizing Considerations Performance expectations NFPA standards Storage requirements (On and off vehicle) Logistical requirements Concentrate proportioning rates Control at each discharge (AccuMax single or multi-point injection)
